Oh wait, yeah they've had those for sale in the Apple Store since the launch of the iPad. Seriously, I mean I know it's a travel site, but it is a technology forum. You might want to stick to one of the other forums if you don't actually understand the topic at hand.

This is only the second person I've seen wearing one. The first was a couple of weeks ago and it struck me that it's been a while, so this is certainly unexpected. Does Apple (or anyone else) have a way to measure whether the watches they've sold are actually being used?
They would have to break out the sales specifically which I don't think they're doing at this point. I highly doubt it's that many. Technology has to improve on real life things to be useful.

Samsung wasn't in the smartphone business in any meaningful sense before Apple launched the iPhone. OTOH, Samsung wasn't in the smartphone business in any meaningful sense for a couple of years AFTER Apple launched the iPhone.
That's exactly my point. Look at the phone technology before apple got involved and look at it after. The other companies didn't magically spend money to develop phones along the lines of what apple was doing. They copied it. That people in the United States should be giving money to some, and i'll put it nicely, Koreans couldn't pull an original idea out of their own rectum is beyond stupid.

The companies that actually innovate are the only ones that matter.
