| Apple’s iWatch panned by reviewers It seems that Apple’s iWatch has failed to interest those who know what they are talking about when it comes to technology. Early versions of the iWatch have been sent to reviewers and the verdict is not that good. Reviewers have blasted the product for its weak battery life and slow-loading apps. The Wall Street Journal’s Geoffrey Fowler said that the Apple iWatch is for “pioneers”, as no-one in their right mind would pay the $1,000 it would cost for the model he tested, only to see a significant improvement roll in before too long. Of course Apple will not care that much, its fanboys are quite willing to be pioneers and will empty their credit cards for anything with an Apple logo on it if they are asked. Reviews published yesterday made much of the device’s relatively poor battery life – up to 18 hours, according to Apple – and said its apps will need upgrades to load more quickly. Nilay Patel, who reviewed the watch for theverge.com said that there was “nothing I can’t do faster or better with access to a laptop or a phone except perhaps check the time… the maps app, surely the answer to wandering pedestrians’ dreams, is so slow”. http://www.techeye.net/hardware-2/ap...d-by-reviewers |
