Whither the iWatch

I was chatting with a couple of tradies that other day, about an iWatch and they liked the idea of being able to leave their phone somewhere safe while they work, and have a watch to see what's happening.

Got me thinking - even the iPhone 5 screen is too small for anything but emergency use of the internet, for me at least. A watch/phone/hotspot on my wrist, with iPad mini in my pocket sounds like a better solution. Do away with iPhone completely… Get your mind around that.

Siri could handle phone/message/twitter/facebook, with no keyboard at all on a watch.  Might need local processing for response time… but Google seems to be able to do it.

Are you getting it, yet? Jony Ive? Please, please, please.
