i can nrly see the retinal air

airbooks arent meant to be retinal

they are light, lower powered devices with emphasis on slim and light

you dont wanna add in the battery and gpu and poo poo to do retina on it until the power to do it right becomes so cheap on power that doing it lets you keep the svelte figure

don't ask for another ipad 3 here... the first retinal ipad... remember what a battery disaster that was?

setting your clocks by dialing whatever (xxx) xxx-1212 or whatever was in the first couple pages of your phone book and listening

good evening. at the tone, the time will be four. fifty. seven. and 10 seconds.

In the 70's (and I think the early 80s) you could dial 767-2676 anywhere and get the time. It was an easy number to remember because you just had to dial POPCORN.

not exactly everywhere, that was a popular one reused in many metros but not at all universal. the one i had growing up in grand rapids ended in 1212

no. it's not. nobody wants that.

maybe from the iphone in their pocket to their head so they can hear their choons interrupted when they get a call and take the call, but not from their wrist.

sniep, do u think the new hifi will have a wireless connector for the watch or now do you see why you need that 1/8th in / 1/4th in / optical out jack so you can play your dope iTunes playlist to everybody in earshot?!?

i dont follow your question

everyone's audio desires are different.

some want bluetooth to their headphones, some want cabled inputs and some want to share their music

nobody wants to do that from their watch in the context of the watch

i have the near entirety of apple's product lineup, from a retinal 27" imac, several airbooks, time capsule and a couple airport expresses, 2 apple tvs, 2 ipads, iphone 6...

when you find something that works well you generally stick to it

however the watch isn't even comparable because it's a different class of item, it's a watch. figure out what a watch is worn for for 3 seconds then report back thanks
