Smart watches

Regarding support (or lack thereof) for Windows Phone, Daniel Rubino discussed the matter on the main website some time ago. Basically, Microsoft/Nokia are fully aware of the demand and are basically taking steps to make Windows Phone smartwatch/wearable-tech friendly. He didn't go into too many details, but the gist of it is this (from what I got)... Whoever the manufacturer, whatever the form-factor, Microsoft will make Windows Phone compatible (see BT 4.0 and OEM access). Down the line we will see WP-compatible tech from someone, whether it's Pebble, Sony, Recon Instruments, Nokia (post-devices), etc. we don't know, but the WP shelf won't be empty.

People can say this all day long. Proof in the pudding is what is avail on the market. Where are the devices? Best intentions are just that, intentions.

Charlene, Kreyos has been on many WP supporter radars. The issue is that it keeps getting pushed back. Also, with Google's announcement for their API, it begs the question of who will win the war for the wrist/wearable space.
Can Kreyos actually COMMIT to a hard and solid deliverable date?

Also, wrist based GPS technology has been around for YEARS. Why was this not implemented in the Kreyos? It would be AWESOME if Kreyos could have this ability as well.
