seriously,, even if they bring it out, i think it'll fail miserably.

unless, the price is around $100. (what'll be the MSRP anyways?) .. i hope it won't be $100, because then, i'd have made fool out of myself :P

i'm happy with putting a palm-sized PDA into my pocket and take it out when i need to use it.. i don't need to stare at it every 5 minutes, and even if i had to, i wouldn't kill to have that 'limited-PDA on my watch

This definitely needs to be somewhere south of $200. I suspect they will be price competetive with SPOT watches, which range from $180 to $200.

A recent study shows that what a majority of people want in a handheld is the PIM apps, so this might be fine. I understand Amazon took a ton of pre-orders for the original, before it got the axe.

Still, not for me, unless they find a way to cram an HVGA color screen into it.
