Make more videos I need more videos….. or not it's up to you hey look a cat video.
It looks like your writing a letter
People are going to have smart phones for a long time, there's no reason smart watches need to exist.
It's just more redundant useless crap they want us to buy.
I had the Data Link back in the day.
Dear Android, please make a SMART UNDERWEAR.
One of the best shows on CNET! Keep up the great work! 🙂
I seem to remember Timex having a watch that came with a keyboard that plugged into it so you could program contacts and calendar events into it
Really nicely presented, very informative and funny. I thought I remembered some smart watches of the past. ; )
Can't wait for smart condoms
Actually aren't spy watches technically the first type of smart watch
I think a smart watch is unnecessary if you already have a smart phone…
The LG Watch Phone was an early attempt sort of like Google Glass. It costed around $900 which probably explains why nobody has heard of it.
Hell yeah google will make it happen.
Love this show!!!
No mention of the iPod Nano watch? That product, although heavily flawed as a watch (and certainly not the first), really brought attention to wearable devices.
I still have Pokimon Dimond from 2007 which has a smartwatch thing on (I'm not sure about later versions).
I don't really see the point in buying one though, they're basicly overpriced versions of the feature phones everyone had 10 years ago; I guess smartphones theese days are too big to be portable.
Really don't like this guy
@Gilliatt83 Yeah think I'll wait for Apple too
in reality no it will not, until apple make it.
If Google is attached to a product we all will have it of we can afford it
What's next? Smart piercings?!
I think android wear will fail then apple will make it work and then Google will copy if apple hasn't patented it already
