I am looking for people interested to build the iPhone and iWatch Ethereum app. Please contact me, if you share this interest.

As for discussing projects, we have the http://forum.ethereum.org/categories/projects section, which you can link GH repos from. I would advise against starting a 3rd party list (there's about 38308130 abandoned ones out there already, which is frustrating to the community).
What about a hangout on G+ to discuss?
Awesome!

- the next big thing, a repetition of the iPod story, as a very preliminary guess
Moreover, I guess, as before, a lot of people had worked in the area (I still remember all the mp3 players pre iPod), but than an execution that push everybody out of the market. I think the watch will be a huge success and kill part of the traditional watch industry and competitors in wearable electronics.
Furthermore, Apple will take a major cut from payment transactions (although, they might get overrun for the first time for long by the technological development - ref Bitcoin - Apple has not got this point properly and they beg on the wrong horse - money transfer with a middle man has to many disadvantages: security, takes far to long time - e.g. Visa takes a week for the merchant to get the transaction really confirmed, to high transaction cost ..... the block chain brings so much ease ; Apple should have a better look at apps they have on their own app store - like bread wallet you can find the code here: https://github.com/voisine/breadwallet) In any case for the near future Apple will make a lot of money with their new payment system and the watch will make it very easy to use.
In general, it is still difficult to really judge the watch. I did not have any in my hands and I did not study WatchKit, which is not common accessible to all Apple developers. Just a very few people from few companies like e.g. FB got access under non disclosure agreement. The real capability will be first revealed by studying the WatchKit.
I think what the Watch will make great are all the apps developers will come up with after the technology is made accessible to everybody.
For the moment we got a demo of some of the basic functionality - only a glimpse as Tim said in the keynote. There is more not revealed functionality e.g.of the 4 sensors on the back.
The Watch looks like an awesome platform. One think I am wondering is battery life. Will the Watch make it through the day. What about 24/7 trackers? In any case I am really looking forward to develop for the Watch.
My personal Watch project:
I am researching https://www.ethereum.org as this might be a great concept to build the decentralized company structure for my startup http://www.cytocomp.com/CytoComp/CytoComp_-_a_revolutionary_biological_computer.html and the secure P2P sharing for sensitive data (such as DNA sequencing data).
To get really deep into this, I am exploring this project:
ADS: An easy to use Ethereum (smart contracts wo a 3rd party) iPhone and Apple Watch implementation for the general public.
