What to iWatch

There is a small chance that Apple will announce it’s iWatch tomorrow at it’s iPhone centric event.  I am not even sure that Apple is developing a watch but it is likely.  Either that or iWatch is something that Jobs does from beyond.

I think the iWatch will be a totally closed system like the AppleTV with just a few outside apps that Apple brings in.  That way they can use the best ideas from companies like Twitter, 4Square, etc. and keep all the money.

So I thought I would get out in front of the possible announcement and tell you what I think such a watch might do:

Time

• Current time which will auto adjust to local time.
• Via Siri you can ask the time any place in the world (by the way you say “Watch, what time is it in Paris?”for instance.
• Stopwatch and alarm all set via Siri

Calendar

• Full calendar functionality again using Siri
• Integrated with iCloud

Contacts

• Full contact functionality using Siri
• Integrated with iCloud

• Can be used in two step verification processes
• Maybe there will be some really clever biometric way of identifying the person wearing the watch and in this case, the watch will be all you need
