I would like ask if "The Internet Big Five" is your idea and if so, how did you came up with it. I am trying to find an alternative to Schmidt's "Gang of four", which would include Microsoft. Thank you very much for reply. Hello, I am writing my diploma thesis on Cloud computing with focus on Amazon,Apple, Facebook,Google and Microsoft.

This is really just expanding on Manfredi's idea -- (see what I did there, Apple? Gave credit where credit was due). I imagine this could be easily accomplished on an open platform (which i advocate), but even on a closed platform, as long as Apple lets developers build apps specifically for the watch, it could work. I think Android support would be amazing, but is a long-shot. I worry about the comfort of a large, glass watch. The watch would need to be quite wide to have the ideal functionality and screen size. This could make the watch heavy and bothersome. Lastly, I echo your thoughts on durability. My metal watch is quite scratched up from standard wear and tear over a few years. If it were glass, I would have shattered it several times by now. Integration with Nike Fit or other similar systems would be sweet.

Isn't Apple just trying to control a better user experience...I don't find anything uniquely better on open platforms.
