Never mind 1G. how about 3G for the new 15" MBP, base model here in Canada.Yes, it was a stupid thought. Maybe more hope than anything else. If you are dropping 1g on a watch that does basically the same thing as your phone not including accessories, it would be nice it lasts more than 1 year. Funny how the first generation Apple didn't even last 1 year before Apple replaced it with the S1 (that had a faster processor).
But yes, you are right. Upgradability is out, Dongles are the new thing![]()
Played with it at Staples just tonight. True the display & speakers *are* nice. The gimmick bar (+$500), the thinness and utter lack of port variety and upgradability, are making me smh. As for the watch, I was a skeptic from the start and my 1st thought was, after growing the screen size on the iPhone line, why on earth would people now use a small "remote control" screen for your iPhone (that's right there in your pocket) and stick it on your wrist ?
The 1.5secs it takes to take your iPhone out of your pocket or purse, is really too much time ?
"Pros" want to tinker, upgrade & interface, Apple watch wearers certainly wouldn't do that and would never be Apple's target market, but yet, it's so geeky a device and too thick. Leave the MBP thicker and with more battery and the Watch thinner. Never mind, I'd never wear one anyways.
