I'm deeply skeptical of the whole Apple iWatch thing.
- joezydeco 14y agoI would LOVE to find out this whole iWatch thing is a huge fakeout from Apple to get the competition distracted.
- jfb 14y agoIt just reeks of stupid to me.
- wklauss 14y agoIt would be even funnier if competitions tart working on it and suddenly create a market for the device, even if it's small.
- joezydeco 14y agoWell there's no doubt that people want some kind of wearable extension of their phones. The Pebble kickstarter showed that.
- jfb 14y agoWhich is all well and good; there's a market for hideous stuffed animals with human teeth [1], but that's not an argument for Apple (or Samsung, or Google) to get into it. Basically, it seems really out of character for Apple to do this sort of thing. To be honest, I would expect a Google Glass sort of ubiquitous computer before a "smartwatch"; at least the former has the potential to turn into another pillar for Apple.

- joezydeco 14y agoYes, that was the second sentence I forgot to type. There's some need, but probably not one that Apple deems large enough to necessitate a new product category.
- alenart 14y agoYes, considering the iPod touch easily turns into a wristwatch.
