So what you’re saying is it’s a huge market in the prime demographic with zero competition…

Yeah I completely agree on that.. Bluetooth still remains an unexplored area for the most part. There are tremendous possibilities in bluetooth area..Apple can very well utilise this make it much more worthwhile than it already is with applications in file sharing (in non-iPhone handhelds) and cross device synchronisation (e.g. connecting your iPhone in your car dock). Bluetooth has continued to remain an unexploited area. Apple has good a chance to come up with an elegant solution through this to match up with NFC..
Apple could use NFC but they wud certainly not because having NFC applications would mean infringing multiple patents that involve companies like Nokia, motorola and some other handset makers.
They wud never get into an open hanset alliance with these other companies.

Except that the Pebble is a cra-plastic design with what looks to be a too small display. Hopefully Apple will make theirs from metal and glass with an excellent display. Also I hope it doesn’t have Siri as we don’t need more people yaking in public. I like the idea of the Pebble but not their execution of that idea.

How much is Apple going to charge for the sure to be specialized cable to charge the device. Maybe $50 bucks like the rest of their products just to hook up a USB or $5 Hdmi cable.

I truly hope so and wish for it. I don’t want to increase the issue of creating more consumption monsters but I personally like that because it’s time to stop paying hundreds of dollars for “brand” watches while we can have digital, more functional, and more than just a clock for less than 100 or 50 dollar.

Another interesting topic!

So when someone steals your iPhone, they just have to steal the hypothetical watch too…?

Considering the trend that most of the younger generation don’t wear a wrist watch, not sure I agree how important an iWatch is.

Ah, somehow I got the spelling right on the last two references, but not the first two. It’s fixed now, thanks!
