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.
Come to Ottawa, Canada. I swear that 25% of people pay with an iPhone. "Classic post" or not, its becoming a norm here.
