Apple Event Livestream is kind of a disaster
-
[Oliver Peters] “Pretty uninspired watch design, as well. “
I don’t know what else it could be. It needs to be a miniature touch interface.
What’s important is the guts, and what it’s able to do for you.
I think the health and fitness aspect will be have a lot of potential.

If that were all, there would be far fewer mac buyers. It has to have sleek, sexy hardware design, too. Speaking of which, my Mac Pro should be arriving any day!

Yeah Moto X is much nicer looking though not near the functionality.
And WTF APPLE!?! I hope heads roll for this streaming fiasco – sound cutting in and out, totally freezing my Apple TV, lock ups – just the worst streaming event of all time – at least the U2 song played but then froze again during Tm talk…
It was at a Vegas premiere that I resolved to become an avid FCPX user.

Of course, design is an Apple ethos.
Are you saying the watch isn’t sleek or sexy? Oliver said “uninspired”.

Moto X looks very nice but it’s too big!

Is there an FCP-W yet, for editing via your wristwatch? Probably by NAB:-)
The haptics of the watch are intriguing. Kind of a shame you need a dongle called an iphone to enable all of the features. The inductive charging is nice but I’m one of those people who sleeps with their watch on, feeling naked without it… so that’s a problem.
The electronic wallet thing is good, if a little behind the japanese… I hope it works with Square and Paypal soon.
As to aesthetics of the watch case, the bands looks to be swappable, so, look for a huge aftermarket in the bands that matches iphone cases. To keep th eproduct going, they will likely have to open up case design and manufacture to third parties somewhere down the road.
Did anybody else but me see Bono and Tim touch fingers in the air, and yell:
“GO TEAM VENTURE!!!”

I had to miss part of the presentation: did they talk about the Power tube mac at all?

It isn’t that either. Looks just like the modified Nanos from a year or more ago.

[Mark Suszko] “he haptics of the watch are intriguing.”
But I also heard the watch product manager say in passing that you could use the watch as a monitor for the camera stream coming from your iPhone camera?
If so, the kind of down and dirty in the field reporting that a lot of folks (myself included) do from an event like NAB just got a LOT easier to pull off.
Imagine your iPhone on a tiny little jib arm grabbing coverage direct to Livestream while you monitor it from your watch.
That would be kinda cool, actually.

That, as well as a text interface, walkie talkie, health monitor, remote control, and dictation device.
