And really, does a $99 Apple/Samsung/Google &c. watch act as a social signal? I don't think so.

Maybe not to you or me but we might not be the right audience. A phone doesn't signal much to me (or lots of people I'm sure) but there is no shortage of people letting you know what kind of phone they have now.

There are many things that cost less than $99 that act as social signals (there are brands for just about everything).

As someone said above about tablets seeming useless. Maybe there will be a use that nobody is thinking of and it will explode.
