From the piece: "It won’t be revolutionary, per se — many have already entered the smart watch space"
Anyway, I would buy this. I stopped wearing a watch when I got my first cell phone back in the late 90's but recently (last year) started wearing an iPod nano as a watch. I use it for listening to the radio/music during my commute and it's great.
It's also a conversation piece as most people haven't seen anything like it and the idea of a multi-touch interface on a watch blows their minds. The only drawback is a lack of bluetooth connectivity, I yearn for the ability to get data/updates from my phone while it's pocketed or stream music to an external device from my 16gb watch. Also there is no audio output except for the headphone jack which makes timers/alarms pointless unless you always have headphones on.
It's really to bad that nobody has hacked the 6th gen nano as it would be great for home-brew. Something else I want is a "stealth" bootable usb device on my wrist. :o)
