It seems that consumers just don&#8217;t really see the need for a watch that syncs with their smartphones just yet. That may all change if Apple gets into the game, and a recent report suggests the company is doing just that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/2013-02-12\/apple-said-to-have-team-developing-wristwatch-computer.html\">Bloomberg<\/a> reports that Apple has a team of over 100 product designers currently working on a smart watch. The device will reportedly handle some of the functions that are already performed by the iPhone. If it&#8217;s like other smart watches, it will also presumably sync with an iPhone or iPad to provide information such as texts, messages and other relevant information directly on the watch&#8217;s display.<\/p>\n<p>Why would Apple be investing in a smart watch though? They&#8217;re not exactly taking off into the mainstream. The prohibitive cost for something that does very little, while needing to be charged every day, isn&#8217;t exactly what consumers are looking for. Would Apple be able to circumvent these problems, and emerge with another product that the masses will lap up? <\/p>\n<p>Former Apple employee Bruce Tognazzini certainly thinks so. He <a href=\"http:\/\/asktog.com\/atc\/apple-iwatch\/\">wrote in a blog post last week<\/a> that an &#8220;iWatch&#8221; would &#8220;fill a gaping hole in the Apple ecosystem.&#8221; He also said that the value of such a product would &#8220;be underestimated at launch&#8221; but then &#8220;grow to have a profound impact on our lives and Apple&#8217;s fortunes.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>This all merely rumor and speculation for now. An iWatch, as its presumably called, does sound like the natural evolution of the iOS platform. Google is already <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/report-google-actively-thinking-about-marketing-a-smart-watch-2013-01\">heavily invested<\/a> in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/google-glass-project-explored-in-new-mini-documentary-2013-02\">wearable computing<\/a>, so it&#8217;s only natural to assume that Apple is investing in it as well. <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=-7DyA7-eayk:AnElcKv7Sog:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=-7DyA7-eayk:AnElcKv7Sog:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=-7DyA7-eayk:AnElcKv7Sog:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=-7DyA7-eayk:AnElcKv7Sog:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=-7DyA7-eayk:AnElcKv7Sog:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=-7DyA7-eayk:AnElcKv7Sog:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=-7DyA7-eayk:AnElcKv7Sog:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=-7DyA7-eayk:AnElcKv7Sog:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=-7DyA7-eayk:AnElcKv7Sog:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/-7DyA7-eayk\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The smart watch is a good idea that has yet to hit the mainstream.
