So you peak at your watch to see who sent you an email, but then you have to do the same thing on your smartphone to read it, duplication. I get 10-15 emails a day, as i'm not that important in the world, but know a whole bunch who get 100+ a day and they will not do as you suggest. There are a huge gaggle of lazy yobs out there who just won't do it.
It is OFFICIAL...

I can see the benefit in having a "smart watch" be it an iWatch, or Samsung's entry. I don't always have my phone on me, while playing golf for an example. If you could use a golf GPS app on the watch then I would consider it. There are already golf GPS watches, and I have apps on my phone for that purpose.
Well described. I have e-mail notifications pop up on my computer as well as my phone but I don't read all the e-mail as they come in - I just take a glance at the notification to see if one is important. The phone has cutting edge technology now - you can't expect to get the same in the smartwatch as the battery life and technical problems make it unfeasible now. But why bother ? I will probably always have my phone (or phablet) for reading e-mails, documents, etc and the bluetooth linked smartwatch can harness all these functions onto my wrist. I can see who is calling and answer or originate a call. I can glance at my watch to see if an e-mail is important. My flight program (as well as many others) can notify me through the watch for a flight delay. Through voice command or the touchscreen menu, I can access many programs to perform simple tasks.
It might be a market failure to techies expecting to replace a phone but as a businessman - I'd love to get one.
I have a Pebble. Was excited during the honeymoon. After a week, stopped using it, never looked back. Hope for those who truly enjoy theirs, there is enough success to warrant its continued existence.
As for me, I'll keep saving my pennies till I can afford a Royal Oak AP.
I'm not one for racing in on bleeding edge technology. I'd like to see what Google and some of the others come up with first.
So is this why ios7 is number one in google search
And the week or two all you be seeing and hearing is apple apple apple on the TV and radio and reading in print media too
And why in 30 days apple sold 20 millions iPhones 5
Compare to samsung which took 60 days to sell the same amount of units
And in 77 seconds the WWDC sold out
Maybe when people are lining up for the iPhone 5s you should tell them to switch handheld
And how come when apple put a commercial out for the iPhone they don't have to take pot shots at android or windows.
And did you know when jk shin is at home his computer of choice is apple (look it up)
I seem to recall reading what few reports there were about the watch and the main thing that stood out was its the first thing samsung hasn't stole from apple for first time and the watch is nothing more that a Novelty item with very little impact
Most of the twitter tweets were jokes about the
Watch and there been very little internet traffic about the watch
And if you look at handheld devices used in the United States iOS leads then android a distance second with about 33%
Time to switch handheld bandwagons io7 and iPhone 5s is being reviled today at 10am pacific time
Maybe you should watch that to see what a real Presentation is like compared to the Samsung presentations that look like a five year old wrote
Oh yeah with 4 billions in revenue from apple ecosystem last quarter that's strictly 4 billon in apps music and movies sold
So tell me again how apple is finished

If it wasn't for the diehard Apple fan - who would buy the product ? I wonder how many phones sold after the official product launch are just upgrade sales. A lot of the 'facts' are either dated, in error or misleading. Not your fault - as their market and pioneering relevance shrinks, many Apple fans throw anything at the looming giant coming to swallow them up.
Eg: Your fact above to the reality: 'Over the 12-week period through the end of April 2013, Google's Android accounted for 51.7% of U.S. smartphone sales, while Apple's iOS platform took 41.4% of sales'. Hardly a 'distant second'.

Certainly if Apple is just toying with the market - now would be a great time to double down on Apple stock. What could possibly happen since they are incapable of failure ??
Obviously, my stock advice sucks: Apple Stock Turns Ugly After Much-Hyped iPhone Announcement

Every time I read one of these idiotic posts, I give thanks I'm not Ed Thomas, and I actually have a full and meaningful life!
Thank you Jesus.
I was wondering why you bother reading these idiotic posts but I understand now - through them you have gained insight and new found belief in the Lord thy God and his son Jesus Christ the Savior - amen !
Maybe there is not really a Ed Thomas preaching to a corporate logo as a pagan God, maybe it is just an angel of God sent expressly to help you find the way through the Samsungs, Apples & BlackBerrys worshipers into to the land of the Lord.
Praise be to you Ed Thomas - could you throw a few winning lottery numbers my way ?
I'm wondering if this is what the M7 chip is about in the 5s - it's been talked about as another chip to control fitness sensors but would this also facilitate wearables (watch) or video game inputs (with a new Apple TV)... Say what you will about Apple but they are nothing if not deliberate... To me, that along with the move to 64bit says video games.... yes on phones but also both Sony and M$ are struggling to get excitement about the next gen of game consoles - perhaps there is a sea change about to happen and ATV can take advantage of that.

So, much ado about not much. Remember the WristNET? Micro$oft stopped supporting that a while back. Now I have that stinking Abacus/Fossil WristNet collecting dust.I have a Pebble. Was excited during the honeymoon. After a week, stopped using it, never looked back. Hope for those who truly enjoy theirs, there is enough success to warrant its continued existence.
