Same logic could be applied to the iphone vs the ipod, people who wanted an iphone but not an ipod.

The reality of the market is that either you kill your cash cow (with a hopefully bigger cash cow) or someone else will do it for you.

I get what you're saying, but I'm not sure it applies in the same way. The market demand for a Watch that acts independently of an iPhone entirely isn't even remotely close to the one that killed the iPod. Sure, I want one, but I know I'm part of a very small minority, I think the majority of owners by a huge margin who feel that way are going to get a Cellular Series 3 and be completely satisfied.
