Facebook explained that the wrist is a traditional place to wear a watch, meaning the controller could reasonably fit into everyday life and social contexts.

Ever since the iPod debuted on October 23, 2001, Sony has been in trouble. Apple s music player instantly made Sony s MiniDisc and Memory Stick WalkMan devices seem antiquated. The iPod could hold up to 1,000 songs on its (at the time) roomy 5GB hard drive. Sony, meanwhile, also released a WalkMan that same month with a 128MB Memory Stick, the largest size available at the time.
