I'm trying to figure this out. When Steve introduced the iPhone, he spent most of the keynote playing with it, demonstrating uses that blew me (and many others) away and expressing delight at all these cool and surprising tricks he was showing us. There were soooo many killer apps, like integrated maps, contacts, phone, mail, calendar, etc, etc. I had to have one, just as the first person I showed my new iPhone to instantly had to have one when I showed him what it could do.
The Watch certainly seems like an interesting device, but what does it do? Is it really anything more than a remote display and crude controller for the iPhone? Where is the killer app that makes this thing indispensable? How would Steve sell it to us? I'm definitely not getting any clues from this keynote. The keynote seemed to focus much more on what it is, rather than what it can do for someone.
