But Gruber says this:

> It has internal storage and Bluetooth, so you’ll be able to use it for music playback without taking your iPhone with you.

Is Gruber wrong about that? I admittedly don't know, but he sounds authoritative here that the Apple Watch has storage for tunes. That's pretty cool to me.

Android Wear has that functionality included in an update - http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2014/09/android-wear-moving-f...
Pretty much all the smartwatches have sufficient internal storage for some music. They're probably all just an app away from supporting this kind of use-case.

In other words Gruber's case on this is irrelevant.

The AppleTV, which is not marketed as having any internal storage at all, has the same (meager) 8GB of storage as the now free-with-contract iPhone 5C.
