iWatch

The twenty first century witnessed a paradigm-shift in the eletronics and computing world. Many equipments which are synonymous with big sizes has now been reduced to very small devices performing smarter functions. One of the device is the Apple bluetooth watch.

Though this device is not yet in the market,people who are familiar with Apple’s explorations are saying that the company has been experimenting with wristwatch-like devices made of curved glasses. Consequently,the question in the mind of industry watchers and consumers is how that glass can curve around human body.The possibility has been established with the engineering technology breakthrough made by Corning,a glass manufacturing company for iphone and other smartphone devices who made a glass that can effortlessly curve without breaking.

Nobody knows what the final design and its feature will look like,people who are familiar with Apple’s style says that the device will operate on Apple’s IOS platform;Siri,Apple maps, a built-in pedometer and NFC chip.They are also saying that Apple bluetooth watch is the right opportunity for companies like Cupertino who has been patenting for over 2 years to experiment.

Furthermore,they say that a microstrip cellular antenna which would allow the watch to be used for standalone calls and data has already been patented by Apple and will be included as a feature of the watch. The product must be affordable for it to appeal to the lower income market.Apple must choose an inexpensive, interchangeable leather strap as it did with its sixth generation ipod Nano instead of a luxury expensive metal.

Nobody knows when the device would be released into the market,expectation is high that it would make its debut in early to mid 2013.According to Bloomberg,Apple is serious about the watch and has already hired a team of managers,members of the marketing groups,software and hardware engineers who previously worked on the iphone to help build this new portable device.

It is therefore obvious from Apple’s preparation on this device and its antecedent that it is equipped to release into the market a watch which could essentially do what most of today’s fitness bands could do,from measuring of human pulse,body activity and much more.
