SmartWatches - Geek to Mainstream in 2014?

They won't look like the watch from the old cartoon series Dick Tracey - they'll be better!

There is a growing wave of SmartWatches out there.  Kickstarter has the Pebble watch

and the Agent watch

and the Geak 

And every man and his dog are releasing them - like Sony, Samsung, etc.

But nobody seems to have cracked it yet.  They all want you to touch the itty bitty screen with your blobby finger - hmmm.  I think it needs to mature and perhaps be gesture based or voice driven - but it will need to recognise your voice AND understand what you are saying.  Think about if a stranger says "delete all emails" and your watch says - "yes sir, right away!"

So I think there is some maturing yet, but with today's crazy-fast innovation cycles, it shouldn't take too long - over and out!
