Apple "iWatch" could be past the experimental stage.

4.5
According to sources, Apple may already be making a "smart watch". This comes after the New York Times and Wall Street Journal both reported that Apple was planning on making a "smart watch" which is more than likely called the "iWatch".

It was revealed to sources that over 100 people may be working on the watch, which "includes managers, members of the marketing group, and software and hardware engineers who previously worked on the iPhone and iPad." Another source suggested that the watch is now "beyond the experimentation phase", hinting at a 2013 release.

Apple's senior director of engineering, James Foster, is said to be working on the project. Sources say that the Apple Watch will "perform some of the computing tasks now handled by the iPhone and iPad." Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, currently sits on the board of Nike and is apparently interested in wearable items, especially ones that can be used for fitness and training.

Telstra I reckon this watch is pointless, just a money making ploy by Apple


Every product by every company is a "Money making ploy", because the companies exist to "Make money".

Oh great, so this means i will no longer be able to say 'i watch' tv without a lawsuit from apple for using their product name


But seriously, 'iWatch' what is even the point? My iWatch is called an iPhone, shows me the time anyway, plus the normal wrist watch i carry on my wrist which i dont have to remember to no doubt charge up every night. Why cant apple just make something useful instead of wasting its time on a glorified wrist watch

No doubt that the iWatch will cost a lot of money. Maybe $500?

100% will not sell. A bust guaranteed, watches are so underused as is, and with a hefty price tag that apple, as with all of it's products induces, this will not sell.

Botch I feel like this will crash and burn. No-one uses watches anymore due to cell phones, and this is essentially a phone on your wrist.

Or an iPod nano. With a strap on wrist piece... which i'm sure you can just buy...
