And some people are already reviewing it's pros and cons. http://reviews.cnet.com/samsung-galaxy-gear/ In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
jedion357 October 11, 2013 - 4:42am | The reviews dont look great. Lets hope it catches on. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
Malcadon October 11, 2013 - 4:43am | Yeah, I member seeing Penny use one in Inspector Gadget. She also had a miniaturized computer that look the form of a book. Someone should totally invent something like that too. Errr... Forget having a computer you can place comfortably on your lap. I want a goddamn Madmobile! That armed combo-car/sub/jet was &%$#ing pimp!!! You own the road in that ride! |
rattraveller October 11, 2013 - 2:45pm | first models of anything are always a little well tricky but I think the one thing which will hold it back will be the small screen size. But let's see where it goes. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |

Jaxon October 25, 2013 - 4:54am | There is a Samsung commercial on HULU showing this. A family is out on Halloween, dressed in Star Wars genre, and a kid dressed as Luke in an X-Wing looks at his watch, a friend tells him not to go to one house. The guy is handing out floss - he's a dentist. |
Abub November 11, 2013 - 4:01pm | Don't these watch things still just interface with your phone via bluetooth... as in they don't do anything cool without the phone doing all the heavy lifting? ----------------------------------------------- |
jedion357 November 11, 2013 - 4:39pm | I suppose it really marketing hype and you are right about the phone doing the heavying lifting but sooner or latter, down the road a real chronocom will appear. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
