My prediction for the iWatch
Ive been chewing on this for a while and the more I think about it the more useful I feel the product would be for someone like myself.
So what will it be? At the most basic level it will be a watch. This is obvious.
What kind of apps/functions will be on it? I would assume some integration/pairing with your iPhone. Perhaps you could forward iMessages to the watch, glance at Emails, view missed calls/voicemails, Weather, Reminders, Notes, Maps, other built in Apple stock apps. I suspect the iWatch will initially be given the Apple TV treatment. No outside apps.
Perhaps you sync Notifications between your iPhone and your iWatch?
I also believe the iWatch will have the Music/Podcasts/iTunes Radio(if they break this out into its own app) built in as well.
I think the rumored Healthbook app gets built in as well and the iWatch officially becomes the Fuelband/Garmin Forerunner product Im hoping for. This will all be done with Nike branding.
Does the rumored Beats acquisition factor into this product? I believe so. Could Apple/Beats create a wireless headphone to deliver music from your iWatch to your new Apple/Beats wireless headphones? I believe so. This would make the iWatch an amazing fitness tool. I dont know if this is done through Bluetooth or an Airplay 2.0/Air Drop-type technology? Ive read mixed reviews on Bluetooth headphones but I think Apple/Beats could pull it off.
Its my belief all of this ties into Apples long history of refining existing products into an amazing product. Apple didnt introduce the first MP3 player or tablet, but they introduced the best product.
Ive been thinking of this as I workout. Im a runner and typically run with my iPod nano (the older smaller model, not the current model) and my Garmin forerunner. Id love if these 2 products were one. Wireless headphones would be awesome too. My iPod has the Nike app but I dont think the GPS on the device works great. The distance is never as consistent as the Garmin. For instance, a half marathon on the iPod comes out to 12.5-14.0. The Garmin is usually spot on.
What do you think? Am I crazy? Is this just a product I would use?
I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
