Apple is a few hours from now will unveil the potentials of its smart watch with is indeed a beautiful piece of tech.
Apple has in the past dabbled in wearable tech with the older iPod Nano and its
wristbands, but Apple Watch is a
completely new platform: it's made to
run its own apps, connect with iPhones,
and be its own fashion product.
A software development kit released
last year has allowed app-makers to
work on launch apps for Apple Watch.
Its is believed to cost at lest $350, has a music player like
an iPod; a fitness tracker with heart-
rate measurements; a communications
device that will send and receive
messages, calls and audio recordings;
and a handheld portal to other apps, It also makes payments via Apple
Pay. It can also control your Apple TV
and act as a remote for connected
smart-home devices.
The Apple Watch seems intent on
being a synthesis of many other
smartwatches, trying to knit together
all of these features into a coherent
whole. In some ways, the Apple
Watch's notifications, voice-activated
controls, and swipe-to-glance features
feel like elements of Google's Android
Wear watches. And the focus on apps
and built-in features like voice calling
seem like what the Samsung's Tizen
OS-based Gear watches have tried to
aim for in the past.
Do you see it as a game changer, a way of saying welcome to the future? Or a piece of tech that will fizzle off with time?
