It would have to have large numbers to be of any good to me..  And there's no bling to it.  In fact, it's FUGLY.

Well, first off it is NOT an android:

an·droid/ˈanˌdroid/

noun

noun: android; plural noun: androids

1. (in science fiction) a robot with a human appearance.

synonyms: robot, automaton, cyborg, droid, bot More


Having said that, I am still waiting for my Dick Tracy wrist radio, and my Captain Cosmos secret decoder ring.  This other crap is just crap.

If you didn't include exactly 450 Bazooka wrappers and a SASE with two stamps in your request for the radio you won't get one. The decoder ring was a joke. Cracker Jack had one in every third or fourth box.

They make all different size shapes and models; Samsung has a line of them coming too.  The bling you like will be on store shelves Amazon.com and other reputable etailers soon  ;D

I read that Bill Gates had a pet project putting a computer on your wrist as a watch.  I figure that he couldn't figure out a way to make it crash enough for him to put out on the market.

Unless it completely replaces the smart phone I don't get it. My phone is with me all  the time. What's the point have having another smaller screen showing the same info as the phone?
