Yet again, this goes back to the fact that the value proposition just isn't there for the average consumer. No one has figured out how to make a smart watch that's anything more than a smaller version of your phone. The first company that figures that out is the one that's going to sell millions of them. Until then, these are going to remain toys for tech nerds like us and there just aren't enough of us to make smart watches viable on a mass market scale.

The last Android tablet I bought was a Nexus 9 LTE. It's still going strong, it has Nougat, and frankly, there isn't any other Android tablet on the market that makes me want to replace it. Android tablets are jumping up and down on the border of "lost cause." With that said, I did buy a tablet in 2016, but it was a 12.9" iPad Pro. Apple has always done a much better job than Google at making a case for tablets to exist and offering developers reasons (read: userbase = money) to make tablet versions of their apps. I think it's time for Google wave the white flag on there ever being a viable Android tablet market and move on to focusing on other things.

I'll occasionally use NFC payments...normally when the payment kiosk says it takes Apple Pay, thus reminding me that it actually exists.
