Thank you, Alex. That was a well written article, and the comments that followed we're also interesting. I wonder how much the watch is going to be able to do over LTE aside from the obvious, making phone calls. I mean, will you be able to get notifications and messages and all that other good stuff if your phone is at home and you were out with the watch. In that sense, it would be like having a small iPhone on your wrist, which the current generation isn't. In a thread of comments related to another article on the site, somebody had raised a question about whether you would have a notification read out if you just raised your wrist after receiving the tap to let you know one was available. Does it read automatically? Or do you have to interact with the watch to have it read? Mary
