The iWatch - Only a Matter of Time
Now that Apple Inc. has challenged mobile phone manufacturers to a UI smackdown, it's time for the erstwhile computer company to tackle the next consumer electronic category in need of a wiseup - watchmakers.
Think about your Ironman or Cardinal or whatever. How fast can you set a countdown timer, change an alarm, reset the time or clock a lap? You get my point.
Now, take Apple's widgets, multitouch button-less interface, Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity and slip it all into a digital ticker that makes setting a timer as easy as arcing your finger around a bezel. That's the Apple iWatch.
Connected wirelessly to an iPhone or Powerbook and it would be a great way to be alerted to email, text messages, RSS alerts etc. Even solo, it would be a great, easy-to-use timepiece.
Under $99 and coming before the end of the year. That's my Guess.
