I like this MotoACTV. An improvement on my wish list:Motorola could render their analog watch face so that it looks more three dimensional – add some shadows – take a look at the iPod Nano. That would make it way more attractive visually. Now it looks flat and boring. Better yet, open it up for app developers.

I’m a cyclist/mountain biker and my significant other runs. She would really love this device to replace her iPod. Do you get the bluetooth, “bio-sensor” headphones included for the $249 price? That would be more of a deal if so. If not, then you’ll probably have to bump that price of entry up to $299…

WRONG: I found the 700 version of the headset on Amazon already for a whopping $149!!!

This is where Moto always gets it wrong. The asking price of this package (essentially $400!) will be a major barrier for most consumers. Just like with the Xoom, they’ll take a major whipping from consumers and their investors and be forced to bring the price down with egg on their faces for asking so much for it in the first place…

Why do people keep comparing this to a “glorified remote display” or a “nano” It is more like a Garmin Forerunner which goes for around $200 does not play music or anything other than GPS tracks your workouts. Or the Suunto line of watches which range from $175-$600, and none of them to my knowledge play music or connect via blue tooth to your phone.

This is competing with those… not some silly android app watch.
