Apple and Intel rumored to be developing an iWatch for 2013

It's very simple. If you watch the TV show Star trek you will understand where they get their ideas from. If I was Android I would tell my RD department to watch the show and come up with ideas on how to match those gadgets.

Sony made this smart watch before Apple even think about it. Sony has been selling their smart wrist watch several months ago.

OMG...

People will buy it because they think Apple makes them someone. Yet, these types of watches have existed forever. Ever hear about D!ck Tracy ..?

Ummmm who wears watches anymore besides nurses and doctors?

Intel + apple developing iWatch..

Hmm, I wonder what OS will be used? iOS or WP8?

Will be popular if:

Waterproof,
Long battery life,
Wifi/3g,
Siri enabled/Voice controled.

Considering that neither Apple nor Intel are owned by MS, so there is no reason for WP8, I would say they will use iOS.

Sony had that for like a year now. Lawsuit incoming.

Questions:

Will this iWatch have a touch screen?
And do the watches have touch screen, that everyone says have been around for years?
What about Bluetooth 4.0, does the watches that have been around for years have Bluetooth?

Personally I have a watch that I have been wearing for nearly 30 years. I honestly can't imagine why I would want to upgrade to a watch that would clearly have a shorter life span. Anyone that knows anything about technology, know that features will become obsolete and dis-functional as technology evolves. This evolution will render this watch useless within less than ten years, even if the watch itself has managed to last. If this iWatch comes with a touch screen, I don't see the watch physically lasting over 3 years before the screen is completely wore out. I promise a device strapped to your wrist will take on more damage than a device in your pocket.

Case closed! (pun intended).

Wasn't that an iCompass? lol

I fear that question will likely be fielded by Apple's patent lawyers and left for the U.S.District courts to decide....

Could I interest you in something a bit more "outdoorsy"? This will probably become the, "iWoodsman" model.


These type of watches would really give Apple's faulty product apologists something to sink their teeth into. If you get the wrong time reading with one of these babies, you really are, "holding it wrong"....

"Long battery life,
Wifi/3g,
Siri enabled/Voice controled."

--> then the iWatch will be at the same size (at least) as iPod touch, if that so, just buy iPod with wristband..

Sir, I fear you've missed the entire "iThing" purchasing arc, and are completely ignoring the consumer's (perceived), needs.

First, you buy a MacBook.

Then, you buy an iPad to track the MacBook, should it get lost or fall into enemy hands.

Then, you buy an iPad Mini, in case, the iPad gets taken from you in a skuffle over the MacBook.

If you lose the fight, and your iPad Mini, you use your iPhone track the foregoing Apple products back to the enemy lair.

Should you get captured trying to recover you iProperty, your iWatch will be your last hope of rescue. You call Siri to alert the rest of your team. She calls you, "rock god", and gives you a map that is off by 50 miles or so, and tells you she'll be waiting to give you the weather report when you get home.

So all this time you're thinking, "what happens if I lose my wallet in all the intrigue and adventure"?

Not a problem, it's empty! Apple cleaned that out for you quite a while ago....!

Right dude, that's exactly what we need, an army of iZombies armed with iPhasers.

Don't breathe a word about "Star Trek", to either Samsung or Apple.

Here I was thinking we were going with more cloud based devices. That would be difficult to read on a cloudy day. lol

Switzerland by no stretch of the imagination is a 3rd world country

Well, the iPod nano as a watch is a decent idea. The things missing from it are battery life and bluetooth.

This has bluetooth, but I highly doubt we have any battery that can keep the screen on for even a day.

So Apple will just have to sue somebody over the patent to the standard black and white LCD twisted nematic display. AFAIK, those will stay on all day without killing even tiny watch batteries. And you can buy watches with that technology for less than ten bucks at K-Mart.
