fluff #2
Samsungが発表したスマートウォッチGalaxy Gearが話題となっていますが，CNNにあった記事での評価はかなり辛口なものでした。

Samsung Galaxy Gear: Is this what we really want out of a smartwatch?
Don't mistake Samsung's effort on the Galaxy Gear for innovation. The smartwatch it showed off on Wednesday is far from innovative. It's unimaginative, reductive and maybe even retrograde.
Sure, Samsung's Galaxy Gear is the most advanced "smartwatch" to date, but that's because only a small handful of these devices have been commercially available, and none have been spectacular.
... The most worthwhile feature is the Gear's ability to relay notifications -- emails, text messages, calls, social network alerts, etc. This is the best case to be made for the existence of the typical smartwatch. Beyond that, everything else seems like fluff.
