Apple toys with wristwatch device

Apple is experimenting with the design of a device similar to a wristwatch that would operate iOS and be made with curved glass

 

[Haldex]

Oh no

 

[cerebus]

They already did that. It was the previous gen Nano and it kind of sucked.

Apple suing everyone left right & centre for stealing their patent of a 'communications device with rounded corners carried on forearm that can also tell time' in .. 10 .. 9 .. 8 ..

haha.. i wont be surprised if they don't put NFC on iPhone and only opt to have it on the iWatch. i.e. the combo of the products would make it a way more superior offering.

What would be cool is a wristwatch which sends music to wireless earphones.

Thats fugly. The iWatch curved glass idea may allow for more screen space.

That would be so awesome, but what would posers do without wearing their huge Beats headphones around everywhere?

I think a watch as a supplement to a smartphone would be cool. It needs to be linked to your phone so you get notifications and are able to check basic things on the watch. Don't like the glasses idea.

I want one. Where can I have a look at one in Joburg?

I assume it works with any Android phone? EDIT: YES

Why? Most modern mp3 players and phones support bluetooth and can steam music wirelessly.

For running when you don't want to carry around your phone or put it on an armband.

Is an iPod nano that cumbersome?

 

[Saltex]

Because it's apple it will sell millions, and the apple fans will think it was apples idea at 1st.

It got HORRIBLE reviews. One of the worst gadgets of the year by all reports. Go for the Pebble instead.

 

[Dolby]

I forsee the end of the watch as we know it

WHATCH the iSPACE

No - the cellphone already did that.

 

[Easter Bunny]

i can already see the headlines:

"apple invents time"
"time telling device voted best invention ever"
"apple tells time, sues rolex, jaeger lecoultre, casio. more to follow"

and i already know that just like lte, when it comes here, they won't let us use our timezone at first.
