Ah the token Apple apologist! I knew that there had to be at least one.
So you're going to claim that Apple invented the smartwatch? Hmm, I've GOT a
Sony Ericsson Live View that was supposedly "old hat" when I bought it at the beginning of 2011 (I got it in a Play clearance sale) - so allow me to disagree ...

No - as usual - Apple's going to take someone else's idea, polish it a little, then launch and sue the pants off of Samsung.
Although we've had two generations of Samsung's wrist brick, a very nice Motorola (the 360
) and a host from others such as Pebble (who are on, what, their 3rd gen?) - so meanwhile where IS this "magical" iWatch?
Said it once and I'll say it again ... when a "technology" company's legal department is making more column inches than the engineering department, then that's a sure sign that the company has lost it's "mojo".
