Without jest, I want someone to go big and bulky a la the Predator. As an experiment, some company will hopefully stop trying to build a watch, and embrace a full on computer utility. Imagine a flexible ereader screen where you could comfortably read a book, document, or email.

It sounds like you want a wrist strap for your phone.

Yeah, I almost want that. The phone should be a bit flatter (and ideally a bit curved to wrap around the wrist), then I think I would actually like to have it on the upper side of my forearm at all times.
