PC Satellite Devices.. or Homer Simpsons asks 'Can.. my Monkey.. Have a Pet??'

Hi Guys!

These days we all have smartphones.. like a satellite device for our PC's.. a mini part of our computing life 'on the go'.. there is talk of smartwatches that satellite our phones, while this *has* happened it's yet to catch on.. I think this a great idea!

It would give us a second smaller screen for our phones, linked via bluetooth, we can check our notifications just by turning our wrist, naturally, and we can have traditional wired headphone headsets running up our sleeve, to saving us from the often strange looking mono electricity using bluetooth headsets, we can store & sync more data and have a place to exchange data on our person, when we run out on the move. We wouldn't have to reach to our pocket to take our phone out, which is handy for both security reasons and a more elegant solution.

This would facilitate phablets a bit more, for mobile movie watching too, as most other small tasks would/will be shown on the smartwatch, answering & ending calls, viewing text and fb messages.. although replying requires the phone, we can be patient until we are seated, or have hot-presets like 'ok' 'yes' 'no' 'thanks' 'yes please' 'no thanks' and user defined ones via the our phones. A camera on the side of the watch for easy skype, making it easier to play cameraman.

tbh I really don't like Tablets, I know its a matter of taste, but I don't see the point in them other than for the lady in your life. large and cumbersome, without the nice little luxuries of a laptop, i'd rather keep that to the foray of the phone.. but i could be wrong, as many seem to be making the move to combine laptop and tablet as one device..but i'm still not convinced.

But there seems to be a major fault in the pricing, afterall this is a *watch* we are talking about.. many many if not all, seem wildly overpriced even prohibiting the market into being a grown market and a established technology. Many charge from £300 to £5/600 which is ridiculous! again, you do realize this is a WATCH .. many pay around £30 to £150 for their watches.. so starting at £75 for a basic Android Samsung/HTC/Sony then having a top wall of £150 makes this an *actual* possibility of buying one and becoming a market. I think they got greedy or had starry eyed expectations as far as pricing, but its new tech and no one knows what price it should be at first, but I think we can all see now it's been out for two years.


So... in five years.. 'SmartRing' anyone? :)
