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.

LOL WUT?

I develop for both and it's not even close. Moto360 works with 80% of the world's smartphones, Apple Watch works with less than 15%.

Although the Apple crowd has more disposable income so in that regard you have a higher % of potential buyers. You may see a spike based on Apple's marketing machine which blows everyone else away. But if people decide smart watches are a must have item, all Apple is doing is paving the way for Android devices to yet again take over. The main issue is that right now smart watches (of any flavor) aren't particularly compelling devices.

Speaking of paving the way. Apple's adoption of NFC (finally) has many predicting a huge boon for Google Wallet. When Android people see the Apple marketing of NFC they will want it. At which point Google, Samsung and others will wake up and point out to them that they already have it and have had it for years.

The NFC thing is hilarious. Our retail store's POS company that we use sent out an email after the keynote talking about what NFC means for us as customers of theirs now that Apple has it.

The whole NFC thing has largely flown under the radar until Apple does it. I realize that they don't have market share. That they make devices that are far behind the curve. That they don't innovate. Yet... when they do something.. it becomes the market standard and pushes the mainstream there.

I think that's really the reason that the apple haters hate them. Apple bashers are the hipsters of the computer world.

Completely true on NFC. Two big reasons for this. #1 Android doesn't have a single company behind it that is motivated to drive adoption. Closest you have is Samsung and they are all over the map and pretty much suck at marketing. #2 Apple kicks everyone else's ass (not just in tech but pretty much any industry) in marketing... so much so they have created a cult like following. I'm happy as hell that Apple finally will help drive NFC.

btw.. Apple fan bois are the hipsters of the actual world. Striving so much to be individuals by all doing the same shit.

You can share music, pictures, etc by simply touching 2 phones together.

This work for payment, also. Although, I've never used it for this.
