So far Watson for developers/business is 100% PR and 0% real. In November they announced the Watson API. Where is the API? Where is the documentation? Where are the examples? Google it and you'll get a torrent of PDF press release and incentives to call their sales team.
I'm afraid Watson is just a PR stunt. Was it oversold by IBM engineers to their executives? Or by the executives to the PR team? Or by the PR team to the press? I don't know. But they lost control of it.

Students at RPI have access to it, I saw a student app using it at a hackathon awhile back.

Access to the "ecosystem" (ie API) is controlled at the moment, but you can request access here: http://www-03.ibm.com/innovation/us/watson/getting_started.s...
