Nick Bilton, writing for Bits:
Cellphones have already muscled onto watches’ turf as a time-telling tool. Now, some of the biggest technology companies are eyeing your wrist, too.
Companies like Apple, Nike and Sony, along with dozens of start-ups, hope to strap a device on your wrist.
Bilton mentions actual products from Nike and Sony. “Apple” never again appears in the article.
Update: Patrick Gibson suggests Bilton is referring to third-party wear-your-iPod-Nano-like-a-watch wristbands that Apple sells in its retail stores.
