There were wristband cases made for one of the smallest touchscreen iPods so you could wear it like a watch. They discontinued that iPod so it couldn’t have been too popular (although it was missing a lot of features that presumably the new model will have).

The problem is, who’s going to give up their real watch to wear an iWatch when they already carry an iPhone that does the same thing?

“They discontinued that iPod so it couldn’t have been too popular”

The iPod nano has long been a test bed for new tech. Each year or so is a new version, radically different from the previous. The “watch” model did it’s job: introduced a prototype iWatch to the public, which I’m sure was duly evaluated and vital to creating the now-imminent iWatch. Like its predecessors featuring video, camera, and other prototype tech, it was discontinued because the new feature was rolled higher up the product food chain.

The problem is, who is going to give up their real computer to use an iPad that does many of the same things.

Sound familiar?
