I currently wear my iPod Nano as a watch and I'm skeptical of the Pebble.
So I would LOVE to buy an iWatch.
Megan Rose Dickey writes about the potential of the iWatch:
Apple has the potential to drastically reinvent the traditional smart watch.
There are already a host of smartwatches out there, like the Cookoo Watch and Pebble, andone source tells us that Google's currently working on a smart watch of its own.
Earlier this year, reports emergedof Apple's apparent plans to start making a smartwatch.
According to Bruce Tognazzini, a principal with the Nielsen Norman Group and former Apple employee who specializes in human-computer interaction,an Apple iWatch could have a vast impact on our lives.
Here are several reasons why you should be really excited:
- Apple can solve the "having-to-remove-the-watch-from-your-arm-problem" by implementing wireless charging, which the company holds a patent for.
- Apple's patent for curved glass screens could help reduce the clunky factor.
- There won't need to be a bunch of buttons and menus because Siri will be able to handle complex tasks.
- The iWatch could facilitate communication with your iPhone so you can see who's calling.
- It could eliminate the need for typing in passwords on Apple devices.
- You may never lose your iPhone again because the iWatch will alert you if you start moving out of range.
- It could use sensors to track how many calories you're burning and miles you're walking, and monitor things like blood pressure.
- If the NFC chip makes its way to the iWatch, you could just swipe your watch over a reader to make payments.
- It will very likely support music functions.
- The iWatch could function as remote control via compatibility with Siri.
Please Apple make this!!!
