I can't see the applewatch to be a life changing device. It impact will be small in comparison to the Iphone. Yes, people will be able to monitor and track their health better. I can look at my email and...
In reply to: more hype than substance
@ kelly22. Your first question is very interesting. I assume that people who like large screen iphones would use their apple watch as a very expensive health monitoring tool. You probably can't zoom in...
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
I am very pro-smaller devices. They fit better in my hand, I'm less likely to drop them, and I can save cash on a shopping spree for new (and likely very pricey) Apple fashion. I wonder what sort of appeal the small-screen...
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
I really hope they do. Current pockets aren't made to support neither the current size or weight of current smartphone devices. I really think something has to give. Either Apple will release its new clothes...
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
I think the phone is a good idea. I would very interesting to know whether kids are using it. It looks bulky, I think if such phone could look like the type of bracelets which are in fashion among kids...

Here's an interesting twist... instead of the watch being tethered to the handset, what if it was the other way around? All the smarts are in the wristband and it syncs with a larger "phone sized" screen. That idea...
In reply to: Re: It will be neither a hit nor a flop
The dependence of this watch on being teathered to an iPhone for connectivity and location awareness makes it waste, in my book. I know people who no longer buy watches because they always have their phone on hand. When...
In reply to: Apple Watch is a waste of time!
Ha! You know, there are enough massive Apple fans out there to make something like iClothes sell big. Now I have to wonder whether clothing designers ever take the growing size of smartphones into consideration... something...

@pablo if a young kid is walking to school alone then this would be helpful, or if they're going to visit a friend and the parent is worried. I'd say maybe 8 or 9 years old is about the maximum age you'd hit before the kid...

@soozyg same here. A big screen is great for productivity, but I can't get as much done without a keyboard. Making the iPad bigger is only half the solution.

@vnewman2 I don't own one, but that's the first thing that struck me about the 6 plus - it's huge! I know giant smartphones are a big trend but that doesn't seem like it would fit comfortably in one hand.. or in a pocket,...

@Li, the FiLIP is not for teenagers, who want a full feature smartphone. It is actually for children, ages 6-8 to 12, who may go to school alone or move around the area to visit friends.
In reply to: Re: FiLiP
This kind of thing is a little bit tricky indeed. I think it's especially useful for parents with teenagers - but how the boys and girls will actually feel?
In reply to: Re: FiLiP
That's true - for wearables, not only Apple but also many other vendors like Samsung, did not get to the breaking point so far. There is no amazing product available so that people cannot live without them like smartphone....
In reply to: Re: It will be neither a hit nor a flop
@soozyg, I had a long talk with the FiLIP people on the Telefonica booth. They have many discussions about the possibility of letting the child remove the watch. The current model does allow to be removed, but it...

@vnewman: Still a lot less clunky than the old dumbphones we used to use!
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
I think it's a way of recapturing the convertibles market that found those devices too bulky.At the very least, it will give enterprise users seeking a larger screen an alternative to Windows.
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
Tablets just are not a hot item anymore. It's clear that people are not finding really good use cases for them. That isn't to say that the iPad will go the way of the iPod, but I don't think the true applications...
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
The trackable wristband sounds like the equivalent of putting a toddler on a leash, but as the parent of a budding teenager I must say I'm intrigued.....
