AT&T is demonstrating that it knows its got a problem and is using its crowd of users to help them solve. This is a great move for the brand and really useful for the company, if people contribute. It would be great if they consider making the dataset available to customers and to follow-up by showing how they plan to improve service.
It would also be interesting to think of other brands who could use an application to collect complaints; cable companies?

Most people under the age of 30 are using their mobile phones as a replacement and aren't even wearing a watch at all.
At first glance, it appears this might be what TAG Heuer is thinking with the launch of its new phone.
However, instead of trying to appeal to the teen and twenty something crowd, the luxury watch maker's new phone costs around $6,000 and is going for the niche uber luxury market.
It remains to be seen how other players in the watch market respond.
