So after having had people line up for this great event; Apple basically announced the Apple watch. This watch will easily integrate with newer iPhones and ,serve as a remote control for the AppleTV (does anyone have an Apple TV?)
It will be a comprehensive "health and fitness device". Apple is taking the plunge into "wearables"
Because you wear it, we invented new intimate ways to connect and communicate directly from your wrist.
The new thing is basically that you will be wearing the device. Considering how difficult it is to get an iPad or a smartphone into the pocket; that really is new.
In the old days you could actually forget to take your smart-phone with you - and that would leave Apple in the dark regarding your whereabouts.
That was rude and did leave Apple in an uncomfortable spot since they had
promised their friend and Big Brother to keep track of exactly that....
The smart-watches look pretty decent too so you will most likely wear them all the time.
You can have one for 350$.
But....you need an iPhone to make it work...
basically you have to wear your iPhone too then.
Apple did not bring anything new to the market. Samsung has already presented a smart-watch and others have presented the idea too.
It is likely that Apple will beat them on design - they have to - but there is nothing new to it.
What they emphasized though was the software - and it is most likely only a matter of time before Google will wipe their floor with Apple in that department.
This was nothing like Steve Jobs in his prime.
