Seriously embarrassing. Heads should roll.So... They think there is a market for a watch. Interesting.
  • Macworld Magazine, the venerable journal that has covered Apple since 1984, is shutting its doors.
Nobody cares.Yeah, you could.What an apt description. Because perfume is so unpopular.As usual, Apple isn't doing anything new. They're just doing it well. And taking a slice of the pie while they're at it.

The market for a watch exists, yes.

Going running with a 5" smart phone is quite annoying. Having an unobtrusive watch which does GPS, timing and logging, pulse monitoring, SMS, NFC for small purchases, music, etc. which is fully interoperable with the rest of your mobile devices will be a big thing for a lot of people.

Lots and lots of young people go out running or cycling and have the disposable cash. I know a number of non-geeks who want one of these watches badly.

Yeah, that's the thing - I'm not sure how many of those things the watch is gonna do without the phone in proximity.
