They way they interweave the device into your life is an approach that is very unique for a tech firm. It’s not speeds and feeds, it’s functionality -> expressed as desire. From the opening very cool video to the end, you want one. Then as you digest the limitations, size, etc. and try to be clinical about why it’s no big deal, somewhere inside you want one. That’s the magic that Samsung or Microsoft will never get.

With that single post Don has knocked Richard off the Apple Fan boy #1 perch

+1 Since I started carrying around a mobile phone the traditional watch lost all value to me...but then it was strictly a function accessory to me.
I get how many folks are interested in logging their daily activities and uploading to the web how many miles they walked, calories burned, and their max heart BPM achieved. I must be in the minority but the last thing I need in my life is another device alerting me to the fact that I'm not achieving maximum output. YMMV.
