We are hearing that Apple is readying a iWatch device that will be sold in the $299 range. Basically the device is based around a 2 Gig chip and a screen that allows for some touch screen coolness. This actually makes perfect sense for people who already carry around enough electronics in their pockets from uber geeks to someone who just wants to workout without dropping their precious $300 device on the ground.
We are hearing that Apple plans on partnering with Nike for custom bands for the sports crowd as well. Other bands for the iWatch are planned like a iWatch Red that gives a portion of the profits directly to the Global Fund to fund programs for women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa. Of a technical note this will be the first “i” device that will not have a standard iPod connection on it. No word yet on how the device will charge but we are hearing the device will sync with iTunes through Bluetooth. Some of the functions planned for the device will be iCalendar syncing as well as a contact management system. The body of the watch will look very iPhoneish yet be slightly curved to match your wrist. The band will be easily customizable, get ready for another onslaught of aftermarket accessories.
Personally this reminds me of the old Casio nerd watches mixed with the 80s swatch watch.
The iWatch Marketing plans are already in place so it seems the product is further down the pipeline than we originally anticipated, so it is possible this product is already in production although we have no information to confirm this. The picture is not a picture of the iWatch just a Photoshop for illustration.
