RE: "SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Initially, one disruption
that could come from the much-anticipated Apple Watch is its social annoyance,
as gadget lovers use it to make telephone calls in the manner of Dick Tracy and
talk into their wrists in public.
Apple Inc. (AAPL) Chief Executive Tim Cook seemed super-excited about the ability to talk into his Apple Watch, which needs to be connected to an iPhone, as he unveiled details about the company's lineup of smartwatches (http://blogs.marketwatch.com/thetell/2015/03/09/live-blog-apple-expected-to-unveil-apple-watch-details/) Monday.
"I have been wanting to do this since I was five years old!" Cook said. "The day is finally here."

So is the IWatch going to "revolutionize" our personal gadgetry? In the eyes of the adoring public, will the IWatch transform Cook into the second (living) Steve "SuperAppleMan" Jobs? Note, I really don't know WTFudge it's called yet, don't care & here here
the I use the term "revoutionize" in the manner of Cook & the suck-arse mass media trolling for Apple
advertising $. Because you know what, other companies had all ready BTDT with personal devices long before the Iphone, Ipod & IPad, which were merely Apple versions of stuff all ready on the market. But still I give them credit where it is due, all took the world by storm and spawned a number of wannabes & clones. But NONE were the first, nor were they revolutionary in the classic sense.
So is it going to happen again with the IWatch? Gosh I hope not & Somehow I doubt it. But then again am I about to become one of those "Television is just a passing fad" skeptics underestimating the power of the mass media to sell people expensive things they previously didn't know they needed or wanted?
From the description above, The IWatch seems to be just Apple's next proprietary, non-compatible-with-everything-else Bluetooth device for your wrist. I mean, don't we now have our phone-attached Bluetooth devices someplace else?
Wait a minute, I know the answer to this one...,i got it! In our shoes, a la The Greatest Super Spook of the 1960s: Maxwell Smart, Secret Agent 86!
No wait, Bluetooth For Your Wrist is an actual reality, while Get Smart was a popular 1960s sitcom poking fun at one of popular TV show & movie genres of the time, westerns and SpyFis such as The Man From Uncle., James Bond & Mission Impossible). This was back When Women Had Tails, still wore fur bikinis & phones had actual rotary dials (no kidding, Smart's shoe phone has a dial in the sole), and not reality (OMG! Call me a nerd but the shoe phone gag is still effing hilarious) Okay, but hold on, wait! The answer to this one is coming to me... In Your Ear!
So Cook thinks that more people will flock to the EyeFone because the thing we've been missing all these years and the NBT is Bluetooth Wrist which will replace Bluetooth Ear like the Ipad replaced the Sony Walkmans and IPhones replaced Blackberry PDAs (which is still in business the last time I checked) that did everything the IPhone does and possibly more except having the advantage a modern mobile Internet
Well I am, oh, shall we say, slightly skeptical. (yeah I'm blowing smoke up yer arse now Tim,with the "slightly" part but you don't even know it cuz i'm nobody and you're about to become SuperAppleManII if the KA media can sell this turd for you.)
So the media is all ready swinging into action dominating the market news on my brokerage account with stories about the IWatch that I am reading now. Some dare to dismiss it according to a brief scan of the headlines, but some are all ready whistling "Hail The King" through Cook's anal orifice.
But Not me. My take on the IWatch is that it's a product idea in the category of Corners 8.1 touch PC screens replacing the use of my mouse comfortably at waist level, or the "bluetooth keyboards"
for Galaxy S4s (currently selling like hotcakes) that have at have smaller keys than the phones & have to be completely reinstalled when you physically take the phone out of the dock,
begging the question WHY DOES A (legitimate) BLUETOOTH DEVICE EVEN HAVE TO BE
PHYSICALLY DOCKED TO ANYTHING?
