Who Wants a Smartwatch?
Do you feel like life would be so much better with a smartwatch? Is it something that you cannot live without? Samsung and Sony have devices out, and Qualcomm has one coming before the holidays. Apple is believed to be making one, and a new report says Google is developing one, too. Why the big push for smartwatches? It’s not coming from consumers. Rather, it’s a product in search of a market – and an expensive one at that. Samsung and Sony executives say they’ve designed their watches to give people ready access to information they would normally check on their phones, reducing the need to constantly pull out the phones. I think that the smartwatch is a solution looking for a problem where there is none. Do you really want to use phone services on the little gadget on your wrist? It will be more of a burden than anything and most people have no problem pulling out their phones to check things on it. Not to mention the distractions that it would bring while driving because it would be right there in the field of view and more tempting than ever to look at it. Any thoughts?

I think that phone services would be better on the phone. App development for the watch might be a different story.
ReplyDeleteI really do not think that there is that big of a need for these watches. The phone services are just fine on the phones.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know if I would use any mobile applications on that watch. It just is not convenient.
ReplyDeleteThe watch and the mobile applications would have to seriously improve for people to buy them. Would you be getting it?
