Tech Lover 9

What are the latest techy gadgets that “wowed” you? There’s the touchscreen Smartphones, the tablets, wearable technology and now, an eyeglass and a watch. Is this for real? Google’s Glass Project is already underway with its high-tech eyeglasses. While the world anticipates the release of that unique gadget, there is another one that the world is waiting for—the Apple iWatch.
Who can even think about creating a watch capable of HD recording and Wi-Fi? Apple is surely pushing the envelopes on this one but no one really cares. It seems like whatever Apple releases, people buy it. Will it be the same scenario for the Apple iWatch?

Contributing Factors of the Concept

Apple’s decision to create the iWatch is not out of the blue. This decision was probably influenced by several things. For one, there is an increase in wearable technologies today and Apple wants to get several pieces in there.
If you’ve been to an Apple Store, you’d see that pass the iPhones, iPads and Macbooks, there are several wearable technologies being sold. Some are the iHealth wireless blood pressure wrist monitor, iBGStar blood glucose sensor, Scosche Rhythm heart rate monitor armband and many more. What makes these things worth the money is that they monitor your well-being.
Another factor that may have influenced Apple’s decision to pursue development of the iWatch is offering a wearable technology that is highly user-friendly. What you may notice among Apple users is that they love to use Apple gadgets once they get a hold of one. That’s because it is easier to sync files and data together. Thus, iWatch users can easily synch their fitness and health data to their iPads, iPhones or Macbooks with ease. And a lot of people are willing to pay good money for such convenience.

What We Know About the Apple iWatch

There is no question that Apple has been dominating in innovative tech ideas in the recent years. Despite the passing away of Steve Jobs, Apple was not slowing down with whatever they’re cooking in the kitchen. And there’s also no denying that no matter how innovative their products are, people respond to it greatly. And now, here comes a high-tech watch with features you’d never thought possible in a wristwatch.
The Apple iWatch features an 8 megapixel camera. You can take HD quality video recordings and photos from your wristwatch. Just reading that sentence back gives me goosebumps! The iWatch also has retina display or viewing pleasure. The iWatch can be used for Face Time, supports Google Maps, has iTunes and can run the usual applications seen in the iPhone and iTouch.
The other features include Wi-Fi Connectivity and Bluetooth 4.0. The watch is also capable of streaming music to your headphones or headset. The iWatch runs on a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. For memory, the iWatch offers 16 GB of internal storage. Further, the iWatch features a light sensor, accelerometer and a proximity sensor. How about the looks? The Apple iWatch comes with 8 wristbands so you can personalize your watch.
According to rumors, the iWatch will have instance access to messaging and can make and receive calls. Rumors also say that the iWatch features Siri, Apple’s intuitive voice assistant. For all these features, you have to fork out $199.
But with all this said, are you willing to purchase an Apple iWatch? There will be a long wait for this device to hit the shelves, approximately three years. I wonder, won’t there be better watches by that time? Anyhow, some people say that they are more likely to buy Google Glass over the Apple iWatch. But I’m sure, the Apple hardcore loyalists will surely get their hands on this one.
