										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The news circulating on the recent smart watch flop by Samsung and their new Samsung Smartwatch is exactly what I predicted earlier last month!</h2>
<p>If you go to my post about <a title="Galaxy Gear Smart-Watch – Fail Or Win?" href="http://VaultFeed.com/galaxy-gear-smart-watch-fail-or-win/">Samsung Smartwatch Fail Or Win</a>, you will see that I already foretold the fail, now you can see on <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/101084091" target="_blank">CNBC</a> the exact same predictions coming true today!</p>
<p>The Smart watch isn&#8217;t anything special as I said earlier last month.  The entire smartwatch idea isn&#8217;t really smart at all and can be seen in the lack of numbers seen in sales and social virility of the new &#8220;watch.&#8221;  Samsung thought that they could make a serious change in the industry with their new Smartwatch, but to be honest, it doesn&#8217;t function well, and doesn&#8217;t even look that awesome.</p>
<p>Not only does it look bad, but its thick, bulky, and requires weird hand movements to even use in the first place!  Why did Samsung even launch this anti-revolutionary product?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://VaultFeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/smartwatch-flop.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-1478 aligncenter" alt="smartwatch-flop" src="http://VaultFeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/smartwatch-flop.jpg" width="624" height="351" srcset="https://vaultfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/smartwatch-flop.jpg 624w, https://vaultfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/smartwatch-flop-300x168.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s anti-revolutionary because it does nothing different.  On top of that, it does nothing better.  It doesn&#8217;t solve any problems we have in our everyday lives, and if you bought the Samsung watch, lets hope you can find something useful in it!  it&#8217;s not a problem solver, a problem maker!</p>
<p><strong>But we thought the computer was a dumb idea and look at it now?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://VaultFeed.com/samsung-smartwatch-is-a-flop-an-anti-revolutionary-product-at-its-best/galaxy-samsung-smartwatch/" rel="attachment wp-att-1485"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1485" alt="galaxy-samsung-smartwatch" src="http://VaultFeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/galaxy-samsung-smartwatch.jpg" width="700" height="433" srcset="https://vaultfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/galaxy-samsung-smartwatch.jpg 700w, https://vaultfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/galaxy-samsung-smartwatch-300x185.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
<p>Yes, this is true, but the computer solved a problem!  It filled a gap in the technology sector that was not filled.  It helped us in many ways.  Because of this, it was revolutionary and became successful.  The problem with the Smartwatch is that it truly complicates life and defeats the purpose of itself.  The reason I stopped using a watch, is because I had a smartphone which could do the same thing that the watch did; tell the time.  The watch kept me tied to a device.  The smartphone actually gave me freedom.  It also did even more things and did it well.  The Smartwatch does less, and does it worse!</p>
<p>If you believe in evolution, which I personally don&#8217;t, then you could visualize yourself turing back into a monkey, or into a previous evolutionary phase.  This examples proves true as the smartphone decides to go back in time to a watch.  Of coarse this is a metaphor for the stupidity of Samsung&#8217;s recent release, but its also the truth!  <em>Tell me I&#8217;m wrong?</em></p>
<p>What mobile device gets things done more efficiently?  The Smartphone, or the Smartwatch?  If your honest, you will say the smartphone, because its obvious.  The Smartwatch idea is a train wreck as CNBC reported today, and its true!  It throws a bunch of features together and does nothing different.  The Smartwatch makes simple tasks even harder, which really defeats the purpose of new technology.  Its nearly as useful as a useless box.  (They actually do make such a thing too:  <a title="Why The “Useless Box” From ThinkGeek Sucks!" href="http://VaultFeed.com/why-the-useless-box-from-thinkgeek-sucks/" target="_blank">Useless Box</a>).</p>
<p><em>Wearables are apparently a sector that is growing, but it doesn&#8217;t mean the &#8220;Smartwatch&#8221; fills the gap properly.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://VaultFeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/galaxy-gear.jpg"><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-902 alignright" alt="galaxy-gear" src="http://VaultFeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/galaxy-gear.jpg" width="384" height="215" srcset="https://vaultfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/galaxy-gear.jpg 800w, https://vaultfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/galaxy-gear-300x168.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a>Not only is it a useless wearable box, but its a sad turn for Samsung.  Samsung has churned out some quality smartphones in the past, but with the increase in demand for wearables, Samsung thought the smart watch would be a great idea.  Sadly its turning upside down into one of its worst products.  If Samsung had thought it out better, it wouldn&#8217;t have launched this product!  Now Apple seems to rise above as the only steady tech company that truly offers products that are useful.</p>
<p>People claim that Apple didn&#8217;t do anything different in the recent iPhone 5S update, but they did.  They upgraded to 64-bit processing, added a Co-proccessor for the first time, increased battery life, were the first to give us fingerprinting technology, and on top of all that sold more then any previous iPhone launch.</p>
<p>The tech-battle continues to rage between Samsung and Apple as the iPhone continues to sell better then any phone ever.  Staggering reports indicate that over <a title="New Apple iPhone’s Sold 9 Million In One Weekend!" href="http://VaultFeed.com/new-apple-iphones-sold-9-million-iphones-in-one-weekend/" target="_blank">9-millions iPhones were sold</a> on the first weekend.  It looks like Apple is winning the tech battle.</p>
<p>Samsung&#8217;s recent ads also seem to be scaring people! (<a title="New Galaxy Gear Smartwatch &amp; Galaxy Note 3 TV Ad Scares People!" href="http://VaultFeed.com/new-galaxy-gear-smartwatch-galaxy-note-3-tv-ad-scares-people/" target="_blank">Samsung Smartwatch Ads Creeps People With Puppets</a>).</p>
<p>The Smartwatch seems to be a flop, but what are your thoughts?  Do you think that a wearable object like the watch can ever become a successful tech product?  <span style="color: #ff6600;"><em>Please share your thoughts below.</em></span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The new Galaxy Gear Smartwatch &amp; Galaxy Note 3 gets advertised in this video depicting some creepy puppets and more!</h2>
<p>When it comes to competitive marketing, the one who produces the most edgy ad that gets people interested wins!  Samsung seems to be getting a little creepy though with its new onslaught of commercial TV ads.  Its not the first time Samsung has marketed with an edgy style, and it isn&#8217;t the last!</p>
<p><a href="http://VaultFeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/galaxy-gear-tv-ad.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1472" alt="galaxy-gear-tv-ad" src="http://VaultFeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/galaxy-gear-tv-ad.png" width="590" height="324" srcset="https://vaultfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/galaxy-gear-tv-ad.png 590w, https://vaultfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/galaxy-gear-tv-ad-300x164.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you think the image above is creepy, then your just touching the surface of Samsung&#8217;s new ad featuring the Note 3, and Gear, which essentially is the Galaxy Gear Smartwatch.  This Galaxy Smartwatch, we recently saw in our last post (<a title="Galaxy Gear Smart-Watch – Fail Or Win?" href="http://VaultFeed.com/galaxy-gear-smart-watch-fail-or-win/">Galaxy Gear Smartwatch Win Or Fail &amp; Images</a>).  It be the first smart watch to hit big with many tech users.</p>
<p><a href="http://VaultFeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/galaxy-geat-smartwatch.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1473" alt="galaxy-geat-smartwatch" src="http://VaultFeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/galaxy-geat-smartwatch.png" width="590" height="321" srcset="https://vaultfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/galaxy-geat-smartwatch.png 590w, https://vaultfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/galaxy-geat-smartwatch-300x163.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p>
<p>The concept of a <a title="Apple iWatch Smart Watch Being Developed By Apple!" href="http://VaultFeed.com/apple-iwatch-smart-watch-being-developed-by-apple/">Apple iWatch smart watch</a> also has been in development by Apple for some time now.  It was also made fun of in a <a title="A fly on the wall in Cupertino – Microsoft Is Attempting To Destroy Apple iPhone On YouTube! [UPDATED VIDEO]" href="http://VaultFeed.com/a-fly-on-the-wall-in-cupertino-microsoft-is-attempting-to-destroy-apple-iphone-on-youtube/">video recently by Microsoft</a>.  Is the idea of a &#8220;watch&#8221; that is smart worth making fun of?  Samsung doesn&#8217;t think so, as their worldwide marketing campaign has started off with the video seen below.</p>
<div class="youtube-video left"><iframe loading="lazy" width="600" height="340" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p><em>As you can see its a weird introduction for Samsung and their new product lineup.  </em></p>
<p><em></em>Only time will tell how successful these new products will prove to be.  Apple is reportedly working to build their own <a title="Apple iWatch Smart Watch Being Developed By Apple!" href="http://VaultFeed.com/apple-iwatch-smart-watch-being-developed-by-apple/">Apple iWatch smart watch</a>.  It seems that this is quite possibly the direction that mobile technology is taking consumers.  Samsung is the first to hit the marketing effort in selling these watches.</p>
<h3>The death of the the Smartwatch:</h3>
<p>I honestly believe that the concept of an iWatch, or Smartwatch by either Samsung or Apple is a unique idea indeed.  Not only is it unique, but it&#8217;s also risky!  People bought smartphones because they wanted ONE device to do what their laptop and phone and GPS did.  Now people are trying to add another accessory that is unnecessary.  This Smartwatch revolution is destined to fail if it doesn&#8217;t capture a need that isn&#8217;t already fulfilled by the smartphone itself.  No one is going to buy or use a watch that does nothing uniquely different then their smartphone.  In other words, if its doing the same thing, you won&#8217;t need 2.  The only place where a smart watch would be useful, is if it did everything your smartphone does.  If this were to happen, the &#8220;Smartwatch&#8221; idea would sell itself!  But until this point, the death of the smart watch will most likely be seen after the smart-watch-fade fades off.  Its a neat fad and idea, but with no real need.</p>
<p><em>What are your thoughts on the Smartwatch?  Leave your comments below:</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Galaxy Gear Smart-Watch – Fail Or Win?" href="http://VaultFeed.com/galaxy-gear-smart-watch-fail-or-win/">Galaxy Gear Smart-Watch &#8211; Fail Or Win?</a> &#8211; Samsung has been looking into the &#8220;Smart-watch&#8221; idea for some time now.  Apple also has been looking into the Smart-watch, but for now Apple doesn&#8217;t have any immediate plans on making the Apple iWatch.  Samsung&#8217;s new watch is called the &#8220;galaxy Gear&#8221; smart watch and will be released for purchased by Samsung in the next few weeks according to several online sources.</p>
<p>The Galaxy Gear Smart Watch is the newest addition to the smart watch war, however it may FAIL.  It&#8217;s not a revolutionary product and it &#8220;doesn&#8217;t change anything&#8221; so why make it?  keep reading for why I think it sucks!</p>
<p><a href="http://VaultFeed.com/galaxy-gear-smart-watch-fail-or-win/galaxy-gear/" rel="attachment wp-att-902"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-902" alt="galaxy-gear" src="http://VaultFeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/galaxy-gear.jpg" width="800" height="448" srcset="https://vaultfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/galaxy-gear.jpg 800w, https://vaultfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/galaxy-gear-300x168.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>The galaxy Gear Smart-watch will run on the galaxy gear operating system which communicates with Samsung Galaxy Android run phones.  Other devices that run under the same galaxy gear operating systems are RunKeeper and MyFitnessPal.  Others will also come later that will connect through the galaxy gear API.</p>
<p>According to MacRumors the Galaxy Gear smart-watch will launch with the Galaxy Note 3 in 140 countries on on September 25 and will be available worldwide to everyone in October. It will be priced at one time low price of $299.  <em>Is this a win or fail for Samsung?</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>Honestly I believe that Samsung is doing the same thing with this watch as they have already done with the galaxy phones themselves.  </em></span></p>
<p>I Personally own an iPad and an iPhone and honestly I use the iPhone more and ignore the iPad.  The iPad is &#8220;cool&#8221;, but its basically the same thing in the way that it functions.  Yes it has a bigger screen, but thats about it!  The reason I use my iPhone more is because they both to the basic same thing, but the iPhone does more!  And there&#8217;s honestly no reason to have many devices that do the same thing.  They will go unused.  They will become useless.  Just like the galaxy Gear!</p>
<p>These Galaxy Gear smart-watches will feature time, weather, a camera and more!  But is this really enough to make people want to drop $299 on it?</p>
<p><em>I believe the galaxy gear watch will be a fail!  Mark my words.</em></p>
<p>Samsung seems to be super excited about beating Apple in the smart-watch competition, however Apple may be holding back on the &#8220;smart-watch&#8221; concept and iWatch production for several reasons.</p>
<ul>
<li>The smart-watch needs to be more then a &#8220;watch&#8221;</li>
<li>The technology is still in development to make the smart-watch revolutionary.</li>
<li>Most people have discarded the &#8220;watch&#8221; for the &#8220;smartphone.&#8221;</li>
<li>A Smartphone is simply easier to tell time and see other information.</li>
<li>A huge smart-watch is not comfortable to wear.</li>
<li>These smart-watches look huge in size and seem annoying</li>
</ul>
<p>We don&#8217;t know exactly how this new Galaxy Gear smart-watch will be taken by consumers, however Samsung is very excited to beat Apple to the competition.  They most likely think that they have the &#8220;next big thing&#8221; but has technology and innovation gone far enough to make the smart-watch something worth downloading?  I think not.</p>
<p><em>Just wait for the smart-watch to potentially fail.  </em></p>
<p>We will be following all developments of smart-watches around the world and will be reporting on the successfulness that these watches have found with consumers as Samsung and other companies join the smart-watch race.</p>
<p>I personally won&#8217;t be buying any said &#8220;smart-watch&#8221; until innovations make a watch band that is truly comfortable and light enough to wear anyway.  I also hope that these companies producing the smart-watch will &#8220;think&#8221; about the actual &#8220;usefulness&#8221; of the product itself before pushing it to the public.</p>
<p>Make something revolutionary and it will work, but taking the &#8220;watch&#8221; and adding some &#8220;smart&#8221; to it, isn&#8217;t enough in my book!</p>
