i see a big hype around "wearables" that seems to think we are on the verge of some Big New Thing and Apples iWatch is part of that hype. we've had wearable technology for literally decades, mostly in the form of the watch. we've also had an unhyped range of wearables as health/fitness devices...

geeks do not make a viable mass consumer market. the fitness sector shows there's a demand for "wearable" devices, but also that there's already a lot of competition, offering far cheaper solutions. one comment i read said they aren't going to ditch their trusty, well-battered running watch...
