    This wouldn't have happened if Jobs were still in charge.

      What do you think that he would have done differently? I wonder if he would have every green-lighted the project.

        Exactly, I doubt he would even approve of it because he made sure Apple products were considered a status symbol, and even if it's a "smart" watch, it's still a watch in the end and he would've known most people won't trade their Rolex for some thingy with a touch screen. They also kind of toyed with the idea with the iPod Nano and its wristbands and it didn't seem to catch on, so they eventually ditched it. If even so he decided to make it, I'm sure he would've pushed his developers and designers to their limits to at least give it that organic, classy look that Apple products are known to have and some new interesting features. Tim Cook is a nice guy and all, but it takes a crazy asshole to make Apple what it is/was. Steve was a genius making people think they need stuff that they really don't.

      This is par for the course for Jobs. Just look at all of the other overpriced products they push onto their cult. Put shit into a box, call it the Apple Shit, price it at $150, and they would sell at least a million dollars easy.
