As soon as I find out anything on this, I'll let you know @Anonymous .

Are you not tempted by the Pebble or Samsung Gear?

Hello Toby

No, neither would work with my system. Also the price. Out of my price range.

Defo looking forward to Microsoft Band !! Looks awesome technology and great addition to 930 handset.

Great to hear @Anonymous 

What features about the Microsoft Band are attracting you? I saw from another post that you're very fond of the Windows OS.

@Toby Well the features i am looking forward to is the use of the Microsoft Health App properly. I use a FitBit at the moment and is spot on but does not have a Heart Monitor which will be interesting to use whilst i am running or Mountain Biking !! the GPS and being able to let it know your on Bike rather than Foot is very attractive and the fact it works with most Apps is brilliant. It's a well thought out device, Being able to work on most platforms is a master stroke and Dare i say the Tables have turned for Apple and Microsoft .......... It's like a extension of my phone as Cortana is involved and you gotta love her sarcasm ? anyway the ability to have Windows Phone, My Surface Pro and Microsoft Band all synced together means i can't go wrong, or miss another Birthday or Email, Phone Message or Text. As i explained to my Wife ..... You complete me, but the Band would Totally make my life a whole load easier from work to exersise and free time. Does the Band have anyone else drooling at the thought ??

With recent announcements from Microsoft and having fun the windows 10 preview on my pc, I am looking forward to the surface 4 and the next phone with windows 10.  They've mentioned a summer 2015 release date. They look to be on the platform of faster processors that use less battery, so both of the devices would really last all day. In software terms windows 10 will support more RAW files so that is good for my photography. It will have baked in support for USB C, which allows any way up insertion, either end can be the master, higher voltage so you can use it to charge your laptop. 

I'm also excited by what Samsung is doing with its Exynos processors which at first glance seem to be knocking  spots off the competition. I'm looking forward to see what the note 5 will bring with that and lollipop and a cut down touchwiz. 

Watches seem to have been created before they were ready. My last watch was worn  4 years ago, and I insisted on that leading years without adjustments by being linked to a wireless time emitter, and adjusting simmer /winter. The only time I needed to adjust it was for holidays when it was  however many touches on the B button to move the hour forward or back. I haven't felt the need for a watch to tell the time since then. 

IoT  is coming but will it be mature enough in 2015? Will it all be out there before there is any adequate yet not overpowering security against hackers?

Would it be too much to hope for intelligent web  sites with HTML 4 and the death of flash?
