Not trying to derail the topic or anything, but this honestly looks too much like Sony's Smartband Talk, both in terms of looks and functionality, except MS Band has a GPS and a normal screen (with a better interface), whereas Sony's Smartband is waterproof and it has an e-ink screen. Oh and battery wise, the Smartband should last 3-4 days, compared to the Band's (probably less than) 2 days.

I was originally excited with this announcement.

Then that excitement went out the window, this is a US only release, again.
Hopefully it doesn't turn into a Zune 2.0 where it never ends up in Australia, otherwise I shall go towards the Android ecosystem for my gadget fix.

Another one Competing with Nintendo QOL line of products.

Honestly, after this and QoL, I feel a bit like this

Coming next from Microsoft: Microsoft Cat Scratcher and Microsoft Human Hamster Wheel

So if I masturbate with this on, what will happen?

Anyways, I'm getting this shit asap!
