First the douchePod.  Then the douchePhone.  Then the douchePad.  And now the doucheWatch.  Is there anything else that the trendy bunch of douchBags at Apple haven't thought of that someone else hasn't done before?

It's just a knee-jerk reaction to stem belief that innovation is fading, and get a little confidence back after their sub-par earnings last quarter. I don't think it's the innovation they needed, but I think it's a better idea then forging on to create the iPhone 6 quicker. At least it's new.

I guess this is a pointless topic. I'm a tech geek, so I have to have all the latest technologies if I can afford them. Example: I was the first in my family to own a smart phone, only it was the first Android since the iPhone was exclusive to Cingular (now AT&T) and I was a T-Mobile subscriber at the time.

Well, alot of OT has this unhealthy hatred for Apple.  Sure, I'll agree their products are overpriced and a good portion of their userbase isn't that techologically aware, but I also think there's probably some resentment from certain elitist basement geeks who don't like all of this being mainstreamed.  Obviously I'm not accusing you as being one of them.

i don't really see what a watch would do that a cellphone couldn't. i'd never leave the house without my cellphone anyway. i just can't imagine a use for it or what apple might try as a pitch. i mean, the ipad is a niche laptop but it at least has a niche.

i don't see this as anything more than an R&D project at apple.

Looks awful. I see watches as having two purposes: (1) utilitarian (i.e., telling time), and (2) as an accessory to supplement your fashion. I just don't see any need for a bulky and unattractive device around my wrist.

smart watches isn't trying take over cell phones they are attempting to emerge them so you don't have to take them out of your pocket to do simple task. (see who's calling, text, change song, info, time,ect )

i guess it would make sense given the distinction between some of their laptop/tablet lines, but i would hope most people could reach into their pocket.

Seriously, what is the point of this other than to give Apple sheep one more product to have to buy over and over again every 6 months? Cell phones do all of this already and we don't have to have them strapped to our wrists.

Cell phones have made it so watches aren't nearly as common as they once were. Seems odd they'd decide to put their phone in watch that people don't want to wear anymore.

The watch strap for the ipod nano is really the only watch territory they need to venture into.

It's only a matter of time. I'm sure back in the day people thought these th?id=H.4519320131668177&pid=1.7&w=148&h Star Trek phones were far fetched ideas, and some people were probably ridiculed for that wishful thinking.

Sounds awesome honestly. That one iteration of the ipod nano looked cool but it wasn't nearly well enough supported.
