The iWatch: Where Does it Stand?
It has a "crown" knob to control scrolling and zoom without having to
touch the screen, silent pulse notifications, a slate of health and
fitness mobile applications and compatibility with Apple's new Apple Pay app, which
lets users scan and pay card-free at participating stores. One of the drawbacks is that it has to be connected to the iPhone and comes with a $350 price tag. Some analyst think that it might be able to really shake up the market with smartwatches. Personally, they have been around for a while and it is a matter of people not adopting this technology. I also think that the watch is a solution to a problem that we have not found yet. Accord to several surveys, only about 3% of the population wear watches. Apple is going to do some heavy lifting if they want to get the other people to even think about wearing a watch, let alone getting a smartwatch. What do you think?

Even with all those mobile applications, I do not think that it is really worth it. It is more along the lines of having a novelty.
ReplyDeleteI think it need to be a lot more innovative as far as software development if people are really going to be buying the watch.
ReplyDeleteIs the web development optimized for the watch? Do we really need another screen that demands our attention.
ReplyDeleteThere are some mobile applications and software development improve to be made before it can really be mainstream.
