Apple Watch
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/..._campaign=news
After months of rumors and dozens of fan-created images of what an Apple watch might look like, the tech giant will show us what it's been working on today, when it's expected to unveil a new smartwatch at a splashy event in Cupertino, Calif. We'll be updating this post with news from Apple today, including tweets from NPR's Laura Sydell, who's at the event at the Flint Center. |

I think it's going to be more a question of the category's value as a whole rather than whether Apple's version is worth it. |

The MOTO 360 is the best "deal" right now and also the best looking but $250 is still a bit high. Of course at that price it sold out within 3 hours of launch so who knows.

So...Apple shows up with an overpriced product that does nothing new and pretends that they've created a breakthrough. I am now patiently awaiting the Apple buggy whip for my iHorse drawn carriage.

It's not terrible, it's just another in a long line of failures to innovate from Apple the last few years. While that was enjoyable to me at one time it is now a genuine concern. I will however continue to shit all over you fanboys. |

It's definitely an improvement from the last iteration. It's just lagging about a year or so behind the competition in tech terms. I just expected at least ONE truly innovative feature from Apple so that other companies can steal it. Having one less innovator in the marketplace is bad for everyone.

It's a far different environment now a days. If I were switching today, it would likely be an android device. Quote:

Pretty early to be making too many declarations about the watch. No word on battery life, no explanation of how tethered it is to a phone and no word on price beyond "starts at $350".
What I saw from their demo was pretty slick though and you can expect that developers will prefer to develop for the Apple watch over the Android stuff because there will be a bigger potential market. Should be interesting to see what happens in the spring. |

Where is Apple claiming to be an innovator?
