There has been a flood of smartwatches and fitness bands suggesting manufacturers are gearing up to make wearable tech the next big in thing. While every other company is hopping on the bandwagon, everyone is still seemingly waiting for Apple to announce their "iWatch".
Out of all of the iWatch concepts, Todd Ham's one could make a lot of sense. His concept calls for a wearable that resembles Nike's Fuelband, fused with iOS 7 elements. The concept would be as simple as an iPhone and would only have a home button and volume buttons.
Ham's design doesn't deviate from Apple's existing user interface. If you know how to use an iPhone, you won't have to relearn anything.
For now, no one knows how Apple's rumored iWatch would look like. The biggest hint of the type of smartwatch/smartband Apple is considering came from Apple CEO Tim Cook during last May's D11 Conference. Here's what he said when asked about it:
"I wear a Fuel Band…Nike did a great job. It’s integrated well with iOS. There are lots of wearables, but of the ones doing more than one thing, I haven’t seen anything great out there. Nothing that will convince a kid that’s never worn glasses or a band to wear one. Or I haven’t seen it…so lots of things to solve here. The area is ripe for exploration, and it’s ripe for us to get excited about. Lots of companies will be in this space."
Cook also added:
"I think the wrist is natural. I think there are other things in this space that could be interesting. Sensors are exploding." It will become clearer over time.
Could this mean, Apple's iWatch may look similar to the Fuelband? What do you think?
Walk through any modern wellness expo and you’ll see a striking pattern: people aren’t just buying supplements anymore — they’re buying signals. Red light panels, PEMF mats, vagus nerve stimulators, biofeedback rings, grounding sheets. The wellness aisle has quietly become an electronics aisle. And tucked inside that shift is one of the more unusual comeback stories in alternative health: the return of Rife frequencies. Read more
A stable wireless connection supports multiple aspects of daily activities. However, the signal strength may get reduced in distant bedrooms, upper floors or balcony spaces. This happens because the intensity of radio waves reduces as they travel through walls, ceilings and furniture. Most of the standard Wi-Fi routers' coverage stays around 140 to 230 square meters. By using the correct steps, you can extend the Wi-Fi network range across your home and office. Read more
It is probably safe to say that the vast majority of us appreciate being able to safely go about our business. We are not looking to cause trouble or have it find us. With that in mind, most of us at least make a minimal effort to secure our homes. But cost can be a factor in determining just how far we go with home security. Read more
