Agreed Rick, Apple can either get onboard or not, but POET will proceed, with or without them.
I think from what we've seen over the last few months you have to believe they are onboard and getting close to making a statement to that effect.
Apple Watch can only become the product that was envisioned from the beginning when POET (PET) is employed. Currently, it is far less than the hype proclaims as this, this and this state, but there are countless reviews and all have a slightly different take.
To me, the watch can be a lot more, but only with more computing power, and less power consumption.
