“Apple recently revealed the product of its secret-development “dream team” — Apple Watch. The secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad.”
Just their usual tech blog sycophants, and firms that love to talk up Apple stock. The same people that Apple reaches out to be their cheerleaders masking as supposedly objective journalist because they dont want to lose their access to Apple’s products.
People that will actually pay over 300 dollars for a watch of dubious usefulness? I doubt it.
I don’t personally get the attraction of a watch doing more than a good Timex watch. Everything else, I can use my cell phone.
There will be some early adopters, no doubt, and a series of improved products, just like every other Apple product, along with lower prices. The first iPod was 5 gigs and cost $399.
I think they're going to catch on, although I won't buy one for a while. Think of it as a front end for the phone in your pocket and the ear bud in your ear. Read a text or see who is calling or pick another song without pulling out the phone. Just taps on the wrist. I predict that in ten years they'll be ubiquitous, whether made by Apple or competitors.
