Any idea as to when the iWatch will be released? Has to be locked in given the Cook rollout.

Also ... any idea if blood pressure and/or blood glucose can be read by the watch? I downloaded a very buggy/glitchy/inoperable BP app that uses sound/HR to generate a pseudo pressure measurement. I must have too much body fat for the microphones to pick up the heart stroke .. cause I could not get it to work ... but ... if it can be done on the iPhone with sound/beat then it could also be done by the iWatch if it has both light and microphone sensors. I've read a few articles on blood glucose pseudo measurements based on light absorption ... but it seems the tech is not accurate yet ... FDA would pitch a fit if people started calculating their insulin shots based on light measurements vice pin pricks. For guys like me ... if Apple can use the existing schema for the iWatch to measure BG and BP I'd pay twice the price!
