Rumors that Apple is developing a wearable computer in the form of a wristwatch surfaced in the last few days of 2012, and Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster thinks those reports have legs. In fact, he sees wearable computers as a big part of Apple's future, and ultimately as a replacement for the iPhone.
Apple iWatch? Gene Munster says Apple iWatch? Gene Munster says "yes."
"We believe technology could progress to a point where consumers have a tablet plus wearable computers, like watches or glasses, that enable simple things like voice calls, texting, quick searches, navigation, etc. through voice control," Mr. Munster said. "Longer term, screens in glasses or projectors could replace the necessity of a screen from a smartphone or tablet. These devices are likely to be cheaper than an iPhone and could ultimately be Apple's best answer to addressing emerging markets."
Reports of rumored watch came from sources in the supply chain claiming Intel developed the watch and that Apple has been very interested in it. Other than it's alleged 1.5-inch OLED display with indium tin oxide-coated glass, no other details are available.
That, however, looks to be enough for Mr. Munster, although he doesn't see Apple releasing its wristwatch soon. "While we are unsure of the ultimate launch timing (likely 2014 or later), we believe that Apple will eventually introduce some type of wearable computing product. As we have previously noted, we believe that wearable computers will ultimately be a major future trend," he said.
Assuming Apple does plan to release a watch-size computer, it would give the company a new product for the consumer market and potentially generate a new revenue stream outside of the Mac and iPhone/iPad area. Mr. Munster also sees it as a potential revenue generator should Apple decide to sell connectivity licenses to third party manufacturers wanting to make accessories.
Apple doesn't talk about unannounced products, so there won't be any confirmation coming out of Cupertino. That said, it's more than likely Apple's engineers are working on wearable devices, but that doesn't guarantee any will ever make it to store shelves.
For now, wearable computer fans will just have to wait and see -- as will Mr. Munster.
Apple is currently trading at $549.18, up 17.01 (3.20%).

Rumors are circulating today that Apple is working with Intel on a Bluetooth wearable device that many have dubbed the “iWatch” and depending on who you’re reading it is coming either very soon (like this month) or next year. Either way, this could be Apple’s “next big thing” that will change how we work and live.

n the “it’s coming, but not right now” camp is Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster who seems to be right in step with most folks in that we’ll be wearing more devices in the future and that Apple is working on something, but the timing is a little farther away than many of us would like:

“We believe that longer term (over the next 10+ years), wearable computers could eventually replace the iPhone and smartphones in general.”

“We believe technology could progress to a point where consumers have a tabletplus wearable computers, like watches or glasses, that enable simple things like voice calls, texting, quick searches, navigation, etc. through voice control.”

I think Gene Munster is right about devices like the iWatch replacing smartphones as we use them now. I could certainly imagine a time when we wear our communications device that is also connected to something iPad mini or “phablet” sized we carry around that we use for the rest of things a smartphone does for us now. I also think that time isn’t so far off, much less than 10 years, probably closer to 5. But as far as the first generation iWatch (as folks are calling it), I’m not sure about a CES-timed launch, but first half of 2013 does make sense to me:


Rumor has it Apple is working on a Bluetooth 4.0-enabled smart watch and could even launch the device as early as the first half of this year. This is according to the latest rumor originating from supply chain sources in China. There isn’t much to back up the report’s claim that Intel is collaborating with Apple on the device (perhaps Intel has competitive mobile chips on the way? Or the whole thing might be B.S.), but there is a lot going for the prospect of an Apple smart watch in 2013.

Jordan’s post on 9to5Mac goes into great depth about the things that are needed for an iWatch to come about, but really all we need to look at is the success of the Pebble Kickstarter project which demonstrated that people do want a small device that can interact with a smartphone. Apple surely took notice of the Pebble’s success, and assuming that they have a raft of crazy idea at the prototyping stage at any given time, could have green lit to fast track an iWatch into more rapid development.

There are a bunch of prototype/concept images floating around of what an iWatch would look like. I don’t think that the first version will have a camera, but I do think it will serve as a heads up display for calls, emails, reminders, etc. It might include a microphone and speaker, but I’m not sure we’re quite ready for the Dick Tracy wrist phone, maybe the iWatch would come with a simple Bluetooth headset for calls.

All of this is speculation, however, hinges on one key factor—us. Would we buy and wear a watch that will probably clock in at over $100 (easy) that connects to our iPhone?

That’s a question I leave to you to discuss below…

Seo Master present to you: When I met Joomla!'s core developer team during a recent talk at their Dutch Community Days, I was quite impressed by how much enthusiasm they showed for the Google Summer of Code program. You can check out the detailed wrap up report for more information on all of Joomla!'s projects for 2006; each of Joomla's students completed the program successfully. Of the six students who worked with Joomla! during 2006, three have joined the project's Development Workgroup, along with one mentor; these three students are regularly committing code that will be used in upcoming releases.

We were fortunate enough to have Joomla!'s two GSoC program administrators, Louis Landry and Wilco Jansen, visit Google before the recent holidays. We talked them into giving a presentation to us about their project and GSoC, and you check out their talk on Google Video. They give some great advice for potential GSoCers, both mentors and students.

Congratulations to the Joomla! mentors and students for 2006, and many thanks to Joomla! for joining us in the program once again!2013, By: Seo Master
