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

[Mark Rabiner]

The point of the small screen is to just see what you can see and not care
about what you can't. The point is instant ness and ease. IPhone photography
has established that. Most won't take it from there. Now if you could
project the image like a clock radio on the ceiling....!! THEN you could see
how really bad it is.
