[Leica] August 29th Apocalyptic Dysphoria; Pictures on your watch.

[Mark Rabiner]

I know for sure the iwatch can view pix and you can see it on the url below.
I didn't think of if it can take those pix or not. I'm thinking for sure
not. Maybe next year. I think it will look funny and end up not being cool
as a result.. The act of making pix with your watch.. Anyone from our
generation will be thinking of Maxwell smart.
Stay tuned for the iShoe.
