More Watch apps:
- “Geofence” tickets, like having your ticket code appear on the Watch as you approach the airline loading gate (or other e-ticket-requiring location), able to scan or proximity your boarding pass while your hands are full of luggage.
- Games. C’mon, you know this will be big once something as addictive as Angry Birds is invented for the new platform.
- There are medical applications coming that will blow your mind.
- Adaptive watch faces and context-dependent apps: depending on where you are, how fast you’re moving, and what your calendar notes, different expressions of time are more useful; nice to have those appear as appropriate. Nighttime, at home, not moving? you don’t need seconds or exact minutes, but good time to track your movement (I’ve nearly a year logged on my sleep app). Driving to work in the morning? show countdown & ETA. Lunch? time left. Party? crazy watch face. At fine dining? elegant style. To complicated? pick a random time display style. All without having to decide & set the face motif. Maybe you get the idea.
- Accurate & automatic time zones & DST. Traveling? kinda sucks when you don’t know quite where the time zone line is. DST? less I have to deal with it the better. Both cases, your time setting is accurate within milliseconds and feet.
It is definitely QUITE AMAZING that Apple has so much support through its developer infrastructure, that we are able to see OVER A THOUSAND APPS, thus far, which are available for the Apple Watch!!
That, of course, does not mean that people are going to load up their Apple Watch with hundreds of apps on their wrist ... but that the VARIETY will be IMMENSE ... so that each person can find just the perfect selection of apps which meets their own particular needs.
That’s the great thing about Apple having such a wide-ranging variety of DEVELOPERS to create such an infrastructure for customers.
The INFRASTRUCTURE here is quite important and is a big selling point for attracting more Apple customers!
It’s no wonder that Apple is SO WILDLY SUCCESSFUL in its business.
It’s also quite amazing that we have a certain number of Free Republic posters who are so RADICALLY JEALOUS of Apple (for very weird and obsessive reasons) that they feel absolutely forced (in and of themselves) to condemn all people who buy Apple products and say that these people who do so are basically fools or idiots or crazy ... because these Apple customers do not listen to these APPLE-HATERS!!
These APPLE-HATERS are quite a unique phenomenon, in and of themselves, and should make a good thesis for some psychology major or doctoral candidate! ... :-) ...
