Who's going to do Tae Kwon Do with bandaids on? Headline should read "Apple not-so-secretly making new iDevice running iOS with new sensors, mostly not useful. Apple no longer can WOW users so they are designing no-cohesive parts."
No-cohesive? What does that mean? Oh, I get it - you don't think the sensors would stick well on the human body?
and as a computing device. but a sub $500 'full function' (for 90% of non-programmer public) computer was astute. As Tim Cook said today, the iPad was the response to not being able to build a non-crap $500 mac.
With it, it extended the computing market place from 50->90 and from 16->2 (and lower... I've seen more strollers with iPads than I care to imagine).
With it, it got a 'information worker' mobilet tool at a mass market price especially with tax-advantaged markets (ipads in schools usually tax free... ipads in business <= business expense).
The health and wellness about this is an astounding marketplace. Extending Apple's place to places where people aren't using computers (think iPod) but want/need to be connected. multiply by oh, a Billion people who exercise (want to be monitored), and a Billion People who would benefit from 7x24 monitoring (need to be monitored). And if the latter shows any sort of best practice/lower cost of care, national and private insurance will pay for it.
By way of example, an MMD can be mounted to the helmet or body armor of each football player or motocross competitor to monitor movement and jerk of the athlete.
Can someone tell me what this means? I'm not into American football. Heck, I'm not American.
That noise you are hearing is the yawn that is coming out of me due to my lack of interest in any of this crap. I have been using Apple products here at work and at home since 1987 and I just don't give a damn anymore. They can keep all of it. I won't be buying any of it.
That's fine, and I probably won't either. But you never know what the applications of it will be in the future - it could save your life one day, with its possible medical applications. Or it could help determine why those flowers you sent your mother never got there.

"movement and jerk of the athlete" are pretty much the same thing. A "jerk" is simply a sudden, sharp movement. Like "jerking his head around to look" or "kicking the ball with a jerk of his foot."
As for all the sensors, sounds like what some of the future Army soldier research is about (e.g. sensors in uniforms and equipment).
Yes, but this alleged wearable device is not a watch. Unless iWatch will stand for 'I watch over my digital life from my wrist'.
"iWatch" actually stands for ... "I'm a tech journalist without any imagination and cannot conceive of anything on my wrist that isn't some kind of watch."
Well Ihat, Iglasses, I earring, I watch, I-----, out of all the possibilities I think the Iglasses would be best for the suit of microphones and speakers to cameras best location(s) why not, they don't even need a clear display(which would be there successor to touchscreen) but for now a Bluetooth pair up to iphone( it would sell more than a bracelet

And? Where's the law that Apple can only work on, and sites can only talk about, things that interest you?
There's no gun to your head so why bother clicking to read and/or comment on something you not care about,
Sounds like a new direction for Apple and it has a huge scope of application. The examples given here are small potatoes. Think bigger and you can see a standardized platform for large scale data acquisition that, with the proper UX, will be useful for everyone from the home owner to the corporations to science. And science is the big one.
This is Big Data.
Not really that new. Apple often comes up with these wild ideas for using tech, patents them and then nothing. Well not fom Apple. Others pick up the idea and do the work with Apples blessing (via licensing). All Apple does is provide support in their software so there's a way to use the data. The Fuelband is an example. Started from a simple shoe sensor that was likely designed with Apple's help and grew into a phase one of this patented idea. What Nike hasn't said is that the reason they are staying iOS only for now is probably not just because of the technical support but perhaps a deal to stay Apple only for a period of time in exchange for direct help in making the device happen.
Potentially interesting in certain applications, depending on where this research leads. As long as it's not glasses.
Why not glasses. Google's idea isn't completely flawed. If Apple can do it better and more stylishly then why not.
I think what will eventually happen is that these sensors and even perhaps their readouts will end up in our clothing. Particularly for medical applications. We snicker a little at shows like Continuum with her super suit but imagine a sports jersey that could monitor your body and the cuffs change color to tell you that your sweat rate, temp etc as indicates you might be getting dehydrated. Or what if that same shirt could monitor your heart rate and warn you that you might be having an arrhythmia, monitor sugar levels and warn a diabetic of a possible glucose issue.
A first step in that direction is this glasses/watch display.

And it was a smart response. Rather than just asking how they could design a standard computer with cheaper parts and methods to have a cheaper price, they asked what folks would really be doing on such a device and designed around those base needs. It was a gamble given they could have been wrong about the uses, but it worked out in the end. Because lets face it, a vast majority of the world doesn't use their computer for major computing so they don't need a major machine. They email, online shop, play a few games (of the solitaire and mindsweeper level) etc. And ipads do those things just fine
After using the [url=http://www.detectorall.com/categories/Gold-Metal-Detectors/]long range gold detector[/url] I found that it is really a good device, it can not only help to save time but also can help you to save energy. And besides being used for looking for gold, the gold metal detectors can alao be used to help the archologist in finding treasures and used in many other important places as security tool.

That would be adhesive, unless the sensors are created from a person's own cells.

and yet you
a) read this article
b) comment
What a troll.
Ah, like that. Gotcha - thanks
