On the one side are the 187 million Americans who watched 48 billion pieces of online video content in July. On the other is the new generation of smartwatches, the adoption of which probably will�be driven by Samsung and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL). In the middle is the question of how small a screen is too small, at least to watch premium video content.
The Samsung Gear will be available on September 25, will cost $299 and will have a screen that is only 1.63 inches wide. The Gear will run on the outrageously popular Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android OS. It will have access to an app store with more than 70 apps. As Samsung quickly pointed out, it is more than a watch. The Gear can even take photos and record video.
Apple’s iWatch likely will do the same things the Samsung product does. For the first time in a long time, Apple will not be first into a new market. The power of its brand will have to be what carries sales. By the end of the year, the success of that strategy will be clear.

Let's take an early look at what's been happening with AbbVie over the past quarter and what we're likely to see in its quarterly report.
