I was in the frozen tundra of northern Alaska when I was approached by a polar bear. He asked me politely if I had the time but when I looked down at my bare arm I found that it lacked a watch. I am certain that if I had been wearing one, I would not have had to fight that bear with my bare hands.

The sad thing is that if the big guys like Google won't make apps for Windows then what incentive is there for the little guys to invest in it? I understand their reasoning but if no one is going to start the ball rolling than it is going to be slow-going for Win 8 for a while.

I am actually surprised it isn't higher than that. I'm sure that Nexus 10 figures would be pretty good as well if they actually had it in stock. I've been waiting 2 weeks for mine to ship.

 @proam500 That's good to know. Do you know if they have a presence in the US or would consumers be relying on foreign support?

it's a good looking phone but I'm not brave enough to drop the cash on a manufacturer I've never heard of before. We have enough trouble getting decent support with Samsung or HTC. I can imagine that this would be a nightmare.

Am I incorrect in assuming that the benchmarks say nothing about graphics quality and only actually point out speed? Seems to me that it probably means nothing at all as far as real world use goes. But maybe I'm wrong...

First of all, the thing is way too big! Who wants to carry around an 18" tablet? It removes all the practicality of having a tablet in the first place. And while I agree that Windows 8 is the future of tablets (or at least full-featured PC style OS's are), having Android on it seems redundant and unnecessary. They should have instead figured out how to run Android-based apps in the Windows environment without having to leave the OS.

Not sure if it fits as a 'contemporary' watch but I absolutely love the Tsovet SVT-LX73

That RedSea Six Pounder is a beautiful piece of machinery. In fact, all of those watched are beauties.

I'd love to get a Strom Agonium Momento Mori for Christmas. Pretty much my dream watch. However, I'd take a Romaine Jerome Moon Dust Roswell for Christmas too.
