So sounds like it doesn't "move" per se, when you push on it enough it vibrates to make you feel as if you moved it

I still can scarcely believe that they showed off reading emails on your loving watch

Like, this is the grand plan they have for the device, a way to read emails that's even more fiddly and inconvenient than the previous way they invented!

this is basically as i predicted (apple analyst over here). it's the same as the Apple TV.

yeah it will store whatever you're doing with it right now, plus your screen saver pics. then in addition to what the Appl TV stores, it will have some of your chat history and contacts, etc.

still no one can explain what the music is for

Hey remember how Apple thoroughly solved reading and replying to emails on your iPhone. Good to see them branching out into new and exciting ways to read emails now that no one has any complaints with mail.app

maybe not completely full size but zooming into a 390x312 (at best) image is going to look loving horrible so its definitely not going to be storing them at that res

:-\ that sounds kind of gross tbqh

i mean it might be good because apple has had the best trackpads since forever, but all good things must come to an end??

thinking we're about 4 years away from there literally being no acceptable laptops on the market. just garbage. pcs will be cheaper and shittier than ever and guaranteed to ship with malware, apple will just have glorified ipads with built in keyboards.

the first iphone was an appless turd.

first ipad was a fat tub of slow lard with no pixels

first watch does too little to justify price and seems to have poo poo battery life

but did you see this:

quote:

just wanting to see the time on the display will mean the watch can eke out up to 78 hours of use

18 hours =

quote:

90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of app use, and a 30-minute workout with music playback from Apple Watch via Bluetooth

also:

quote:

Audio Playback Test: Up to 6.5 hours
Workout Test (with heart rate sensor): Up to 7 hours
