But I don't see anything about a Carwings / Leaf connection. Which it obviously needs!

From the YouTube vid, it looks like it functions as a Key? If so, I am completely in.

If I wore a watch, I would definitely get that. Nice!

I wonder how much more functionality and/or telemetry it gives over a Blue Tooth ODBII connection?

hahaha

i wonder if it will work as well as CarWings and our NAV interface

They're quick to point out that it will remind you when to take your car in for service

Looks bulky, and like an oversized bracelet.

Another YouTube link - interview with Gareth Dunsmore, lead designer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3h7YBqVx88#t=54" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

At the very end, he mentions they are launching this as a concept. I still can't find a price.
