In other words, you can tell by some of the pixels?
A+, didn't think I'd see this reference on HN :)
Love this jσb, since I've been bringing in $120 per hour in my spare time online, just for fun. I sit at home, music playing while all I do are fun & easy tasks from this one cool site. Open an account there and receive ur 1st check till the end of this week! јump32.сσm

Why not if it can be done well? Also, I thought the same thing about my smart phone years ago.
How could you possibly put the web on a screen where my fingertip is big enough to cover up 25% of it at any moment? This seems like one of those cases where less is definitely more.
you seem to think that in 3 years there won't be 5" watches...

Did you watch the video? Looks like they have real prototypes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xQ3y902DEQ&noredirect=1#t=6...
The LG watch looks more like an iPhone strapped to your wrist than a watch. http://i.imgur.com/yP1Qpa9.png I was kind of excited after viewing the Motorola page, but after the videos, I'm disappointed. I don't want to speak to my watch, and I don't care about having yet another app for weather, calendar, etc. The videos just reminded me that I don't care about any of this information, or having it available on my wri…

Doesn't everyone want to look like a TV show FBI agent?

#356I have a full blow Android watch (Simvalley AW420) , but I wouldn't recommend a Smartwatch to others. Why?! - Gorilla arms; When your in bed or on the couch, keeping the watch turned towards your face takes a toll on your wrists. It's tiring. See how the people in the video look down towards their watch, try doing that 20+ times a day for prolonged times. - Call quality; Calling with it sound like your wearing a skim…
Call quality is a matter of using decent hardware, and http://minuum.com/ solves the keyboard problem. I expect to see amazing developments in the next couple years!
No matter how good your mic is, you still have too much ambient sound. A mic near your mouth is the best solution so far.

Can I ask why you own that? It sounds incredibly inconvenient. Are notifications on your wrist really worth all those downsides?
Because I wanted to be ahead of the game. I saw an official Google smartwatch coming. And yes, I think the notifications are worth it. If your building an app or software that is context or location aware, than it's an awesome addition to your product.

Maybe because they have simple and straightforward names that it's reasonable to expect most people will understand. Whereas if you said "my Dell Latitude 3300" most people would have no specific mental image for that. Like it or not, the simplicity of Apple's product line and naming scheme makes their product names more meaningful.
What generation is his Macbook Pro? ;)
In terms of what the hand rests look like, it doesn't matter. They've been the same since the introduction in 2006. :)

Good points, but as for restricted controls, Google is trying to emphasise voice control and context-aware notifications.
Have you ever tried using google voice search on an accelerating city bus? (Like when your in the back near the engine?). Its not cool that you sometimes have to "wait" for it to be quiet enough around you. And what happens if everybody around you is voice controlling as well?

Apple is more a fashion company than a tech company. Those who buy and use its products are primarily concerned with advertising the fact that they use Apple products - conspicuous consumption. It's no different from how Gucci or Prada owners make sure to prominently display the brand of their handbag when they are in public. It's a simple form of signaling your identity, that you belong to a particular group. This i…

I'm not sure what's the informational value of absolute numbers in this case. It might come out with the same results, but both Microsoft and Samsung have a hell lot more to advertise.
