This guy predicts that a "wear alone" smartwatch will cannibalize 70% of smartphone market? ha

There is a possibility that the watch will eventually house the power in current smartphones and screens will be foldable portable accessories. But i am not certain that a watch is the thing to kill smartphones within the next 10 years. Consumers had to beg Apple to launch a phablet and then gobbled them up like lambfries in Louisiana - i'd say they will be around a tad longer. Watch/tablet isn't practical although a watch with remote screen only could happen - but as usual tech is constrained by that one thing - battery technology. Bio implants will be exciting, but they won't likely house a centralized CPU anytime soon.

When I pay at Starbucks with my iPhone, its a pain in the neck that I need to load the application each time. It would be nice if the scanner could identify the Starbucks application and load it automatically on my phone, or wearable.

This guy is making one bold prediction, that a wear alone smartwatch that doesnt need a smartphone to connect to will cannilbalize 70% of the smartphone market???

70%??


maybe 7%, but not 70%, so basically were all going to go from 5"-6" inch screen smartphones to wearing a watch? unless this watch can push out a 24" hologram straight in front of your face then maybe yes, but to think a 1.4" screen on a watch is going to replace a smartphone isnt going to happen...you can see sales of large screened smartphones jumping through the roof the last 4-5 years, even with these new smartwatches on the market I rarely see anyone with them even thought apple claims they are selling millions of them.....
