Apple Event Livestream is kind of a disaster

[Oliver Peters] “It isn’t that either. Looks just like the modified Nanos from a year or more ago.”
What did you want it to look like?

You just KNOW that some far sighted hacker planning a Phone app that will simultaneously track the elapsed time in a closed book test – and upon a sudden spike in heart rate – the phone will silently display the answer to the question you’re staring at that don’t know the answer for.

There were a lot more innovative ideas presented in the various “what if” concepts. Such as the various curved ideas. Or even the Dick Tracey watch of the original comics.
Of course, I’m probably the wrong market anyway, because I think it’s a stupid idea to begin with. Never had one of the old databank watches either, which is a lot of what this concept is all about 😉

I couldn’t even get on it for a while. They used to be really good at this kind of thing. Weird, as this is their bread and butter.

I admit I was looking for a headband watch.

I don’t wear watches, either.
I don’t think it’s a bad idea, per se, but it’s not a device that “everyone” will want. That’s cool. There’s some pretty cool tech in there, and it seems to be a bit of a live experiment.
Also, isn’t it at least somewhat ironic that, bedsides computers, isn’t this the first Apple product that has an analog control input emulator since the iPod classic?

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.
Meh, It’s been done…

I’m really surprised at how blah it looks. big square lump on your wrist. chris ziegler on the verge made the point that as a gen one product – the apple watch is going to get an awful lot better looking over time. I don’t mind a thicker phone, I didn’t mind the original iphone, but I do rather mind a thicker square watch.

It would, hopefully there’s a focus assist feature as trying to judge 1080p focus on something the size of postage stamp will be challenging.

“I’m w/Oliver in that I feel like it just looks pedestrian. What did I want it to look like? I don’t know, but Apple usually does it right with industrial design but maybe a watch w/smartphone-like functionality is just too limiting a form factor do get creative with. I feel like all the different bands and the three different casings (gold, steel, aluminum) were Apple’s way of trying to dress up the design a bit.

To me, it’s not a watch, or a smart phone.
Are you saying Ive and Co. got this wrong? Just asking, because I don’t really know.
