10 Killer Features for Apple’s iWatch
Color E-Ink Hybrid Display
One of the most annoying things about the I’m Watch and Sony SmartWatch is that you had to press a button to check the time after the screen times out. If you can’t glance down to get the time, you lose the essence of a watch’s original purpose. Apple could solve this issue with a hybrid LCD/electronic paper display, a technology the company received a patent for in 2011. The display would be able to automatically switch between e-ink and full-color modes based on the content being viewed. Now that’s a smart watch.

I’m trying to be objective here, but why would anybody want to pay for something that does the exact same thing as their smartphone, but worse, due to a smaller screen? I actually hope this article was a joke because apps, really, on a watch? and Wi-Fi, what for? To say your watch has Wi-Fi? The only useful thing mentioned here was the health monitor. But to be honest, I’d rather just buy a high-quality Swiss watch that I wouldn’t be embarrassed to wear out in public than an Apple watch.
