Comment on Rumor: Apple Building Bluetooth Smart Watch

Comments

Doesn't seem too likely to me, or at least it would be a fairly significant reversal of Apple's approach to things. It's such a niche market. That's not the kind of space Apple cares to play in it. Where's the opportunity for the kind of mass-market world changing that Apple likes to focus on?

I think it depends on what the intended use is. A watch would be a waste of time. But I suspect this device will primarily be used for easily composing and viewing text messages without taking one's phone from one's pocket/purse. I expect texting will soon be the dominant form of communication.
