I do kinda get the feeling that Apple already researched this iWatch thingie, found out it was impractical<span style="line-height:1.4em;">, boxed it, and started a </span>
rumor<span style="line-height:1.4em;"> to get the other companies chasing the wrong rabbit. Its a thought that makes me smile though.</span>
Or that iWatch is actually the new name of AppleTV since they can't use the name iTV. Man that would really throw everyone off.
I'd love that! The spaghetti junction of rumours would hit new highs. Guess you would control your iWatch with your iTime.
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING RUMOUR SHOULD NOT BE READ IF YOU WEAR A PACEMAKER.
It is rumoured that Apple may have problems with production of products in the future that may or may not lead to delays which may or may not affect their release date.
On a side-note, I wish emojis could move independently of each other. I imagine people have been raising this issue for years, but have we seen any movement? Have we heck. Come on AI, get your act together.
Oh, emoji aren’t animated. Unicode characters can’t have motion in them. The ones used here are just gifs, and when you have multiples the image isn’t loaded x number of times; it’s referenced x number of times and loaded once. So the timing on all references will be the same, since there’s only the single timeline loaded.

Gotya. So we can't have independent emoji? I was being deliberately belligerent in my initial complaint, as I'm sure you realised. I so wish I could use multiple rolling eyes emoji which move at different speeds. Guess I’ll have to go to my grave unsatiated…
Quite rediculous indeed. All comments are very valid. Just who NEEDS one of these? Even Star Trek nixed the idea of a wrist-based communications device in deference to the communicator pin. I know, I was making the wrist prototype to the wrist tricorder when it happened. I envision wearers twisting or flipping their wrists to void the "last entry" or cancel a misunderstood Siri command in a loud environment. And soon after the class action suit on behalf of wearers who've come down with wrist edema or cyst at the wrist or something. And new rules that suggest wearers not use their iwatch if doing anything else because it requires two hands to operate. The saga is: small run does market test....for real. It's already started!
Apologies for the language but how the f*ck does this qualify as "breaking" anything?!?

I knew at least two of you would have a rather sharp reaction. I clicked through their sources, and I cannot find any claims that are as boldly stated as the headline would suggest. You guys may want to lighten up on the analyst here, unless someone can point out some corroboration. I have links back to earlier AI stories and pages that I ran through google translate.
This is the way AAPL manages the launch of ALL new products. They never build to inventory without having tested real demand first. This is opposite Samsung/Microsoft who ALWAYS builds too much inventory and thus have to spend extra marketing efforts or provide deep discounts to clear out excess stock... Now, how come this is perceived negatively for AAPL? As a shareholder i am actually pleased with their inventory churns. Add to that, that this creates buzz because everyone have to wait in lines...

Their crystal balls, or an area near them.
Hope you don't run out of oxygen on your high horse.

Out of self respect, I am not going to read any more news from AI any longer. I owe it to myself.

That retort was rather good!
