00:28:27 ◼   ► features Apple's come up with a little feature that you take for granted but [TS]

00:28:31 ◼   ► but ready barely even noticed but then you know if you stop and think hey I'm [TS]

00:28:35 ◼   ► only getting emails from you know my mom and a wife and whatever it's it's very [TS]

00:28:47 ◼   ► that I do wanna my phone but I don't want on my watch and the fact that I can [TS]

00:28:50 ◼   ► turn off made it feel like my watch was annoying me now is that i think thats [TS]

00:28:55 ◼   ► how was initially I think eventually you know why I stopped using it as well I [TS]

00:28:58 ◼   ► think eventually you do get a little more fine-grained control as far as some [TS]

00:29:02 ◼   ► things that would notify on the phone only and not I'm not yeah maybe in this [TS]

00:29:06 ◼   ► might be speaking from experience you know but maybe it is but it just but I [TS]

00:29:11 ◼   ► also did not I also found it that the physical sensation of the vibration to [TS]

00:29:15 ◼   ► be unpleasant even for things I wanted the pebble to notify me about like a [TS]

00:29:19 ◼   ► tells acid right I get text message is one that I would think anybody wants you [TS]

00:29:24 ◼   ► know my wife text me I want that I do want it on my watch if I if my watch is [TS]

00:29:29 ◼   ► going to show me anything that's something I found the vibration to be [TS]

00:29:32 ◼   ► physically imposing not like a big way but it never once made me happy that my [TS]

00:29:38 ◼   ► watch but well so you've you've tried on an Apple watcher and and you and they [TS]

00:29:44 ◼   ► they showed you the tactic center-right [TS]

00:29:47 ◼   ► so you can compare the two I've I have not yet completely different sensation [TS]

00:29:53 ◼   ► I've said this before but it's it's not the tactic thing you know and I know [TS]

00:29:57 ◼   ► that tactic is a word that they've made up you know that it's tap + haptic but [TS]

00:30:01 ◼   ► it really is a kind of great name I got some point once they had the thing [TS]

00:30:08 ◼   ► working and somebody said tactic everybody in the room I'm sure was like [TS]

00:30:11 ◼   ► thats it because it does feel like it's tapping you and it's not at all like a [TS]

00:30:16 ◼   ► vibration you know phone vibrator [TS]

00:30:19 ◼   ► it sounds I know it sounds weird I mean it is weird it's different but it's and [TS]

00:30:24 ◼   ► it's not unpleasant it and it to meet solves a very real problem that at least [TS]

00:30:29 ◼   ► original people definitely add which is that the little the vibrating engine [TS]

00:30:34 ◼   ► vibration right are just not pleasant sensation [TS]

00:30:38 ◼   ► well so the thing to me about the new wonder the pebble time was it looks very [TS]

00:30:44 ◼   ► nice and it's interesting to me that it's going to be one of the first [TS]

00:30:47 ◼   ► devices out there using color e-ink display has none of the nooks and [TS]

00:30:53 ◼   ► Kindles are all still black and white but it seems very much geared at Android [TS]

00:30:59 ◼   ► users because they just cant get the level of you no connection to the system [TS]

00:31:05 ◼   ► on iOS and I think that sort of unfortunate because it'd be nice if [TS]

00:31:10 ◼   ► there were competitors that works with the iPhone but I think it's I think if [TS]

00:31:16 ◼   ► they're carving out a niche in the market it's it's on the Android side [TS]

00:31:19 ◼   ► even though I think the original one i think probably was Lara maybe was my [TS]

00:31:25 ◼   ► phone first-rate wasn't it like that their Android software took awhile it's [TS]

00:31:29 ◼   ► definitely yet that sounds right i think that that because of the enthusiast [TS]

00:31:34 ◼   ► market and the Kickstarter market especially from from the couple years [TS]

00:31:38 ◼   ► ago when Kickstarter was you know little bit less well known you know it was [TS]

00:31:43 ◼   ► definitely the iPhone I think made up a much bigger part of their market right [TS]

00:31:48 ◼   ► but I think it's inevitable that you're exactly right there right now it's [TS]

00:31:51 ◼   ► inevitable because they need they crave more control on the phone and I found [TS]

00:31:57 ◼   ► just doesn't offer it well and I think so i i think thats it's interesting [TS]

00:32:02 ◼   ► because in this space Apple's making a device and you know Apple's answer is [TS]

00:32:07 ◼   ► going to be at the Apple watch that's the one that works best with the iPhone [TS]

00:32:11 ◼   ► but I got a doorbell [TS]

00:32:14 ◼   ► called the ring and it's a video doorbell [TS]

00:32:18 ◼   ► and it connects your phone and great it rings your phone wherever you are when [TS]

00:32:22 ◼   ► somebody's at the door so if you're not a home or you know whatever you can tell [TS]

00:32:26 ◼   ► UPS package whatever but the biggest issue that I have with it is that I keep [TS]

00:32:31 ◼   ► my phone on silent most of the time and on the iPhone the only thing that can [TS]

00:32:35 ◼   ► override the silence which is your alarm clock and if I could have one other [TS]

00:32:39 ◼   ► thing do it it would be normal because I want that notification anytime that [TS]

00:32:45 ◼   ► happens and it's something where I don't think Apple is likely to ever make it a [TS]

00:32:49 ◼   ► durable but because the system is locked down enough it means that nobody else [TS]

00:32:54 ◼   ► can make one that has that level of access right and you know you see it [TS]

00:32:59 ◼   ► with the watch you see it with with a bunch of things and it's I think in this [TS]

00:33:01 ◼   ► case you know there's an answer its get an apple watching that will have all the [TS]

00:33:05 ◼   ► authority that you need but in a lot of other cases I think there's sort of [TS]

00:33:09 ◼   ► missed opportunities right now [TS]

00:33:12 ◼   ► yeah I think it's you know it's an unfortunate side effect you know and I [TS]

00:33:16 ◼   ► don't think it's purely plays into it I mean let's face it there's a little bit [TS]

00:33:21 ◼   ► of competitive spite so do your doorbell thing you can think if you're a way you [TS]

00:33:28 ◼   ► can then use a nap or something to talk through the intercom yes so it's it's [TS]

00:33:32 ◼   ► double the whole thing is it's got a little video camera battery and they [TS]

00:33:38 ◼   ► ring the doorbell just like hearing a normal doorbell but then it rings on [TS]

00:33:42 ◼   ► your phone and you accept the call and you can see them they can't see you but [TS]

00:33:46 ◼   ► it's you know so that the [TS]

00:33:49 ◼   ► their angle is a security angle that I guess a lot of breaking entering the [TS]

00:33:53 ◼   ► very first thing they do is ring the doorbell to make sure nobody's home and [TS]

00:33:57 ◼   ► with this you can your home no matter where you are is sort of the way they [TS]

00:34:00 ◼   ► pitch it you know it's it's not necessarily the yeah I'm not necessarily [TS]

00:34:06 ◼   ► that interested in that aspect of it but it is nice to have a little intercom [TS]

00:34:10 ◼   ► without needing to run a whole bunch of wires and it's great except for like I [TS]

00:34:15 ◼   ► said if I got my phone on silent or at a better time do not disturb and somebody [TS]

00:34:18 ◼   ► wants to deliver a package at eight in the morning and I got my phone set up to [TS]

00:34:22 ◼   ► not bother me suddenly the doorbell doesn't ring which is sort of [TS]

00:34:27 ◼   ► unfortunate [TS]

00:34:28 ◼   ► right yeah and like the way that the alarm app can override that is is black [TS]

00:34:34 ◼   ► magic because the only the built-in system alarm clock app that has the [TS]

00:34:41 ◼   ► ability to go outside the you know the privileges [TS]

00:34:48 ◼   ► you know like I don't think I am 99% sure there's no way that any third party [TS]

00:34:52 ◼   ► alarm clock app can do those things I think they're all in a bit of a [TS]

00:34:57 ◼   ► disadvantage because of that but you know in that case again that built in [TS]

00:35:01 ◼   ► alarm clock app is pretty good season by the app for other stuff there's there's [TS]

00:35:07 ◼   ► just no way around it that's a perfect example though of the end of the sort of [TS]

00:35:11 ◼   ► thing that you just don't think about right and it's you know in the way that [TS]

00:35:14 ◼   ► like you know Apple isn't trying to build everything right I mean they've [TS]

00:35:18 ◼   ► only watch as their first new products you know in five years [TS]

00:35:22 ◼   ► you know they're they're not building thermostats and doorbells and security [TS]

00:35:44 ◼   ► that it is and it's but it's it's something where I don't necessarily have [TS]

00:35:49 ◼   ► that much hope that this will change but it's something where I think if you get [TS]

00:35:52 ◼   ► enough of these types of products where they do need these higher privileges in [TS]

00:35:56 ◼   ► Ohio access to the system and I'm willing to give it to it that's really [TS]

00:36:00 ◼   ► the thing is I want the apt to be able to say no matter what you get to ring ya [TS]

00:36:05 ◼   ► I almost feel like it's almost at this point it's almost like it can be [TS]

00:36:08 ◼   ► confusing but I could see it like I would like to give this app get out of [TS]

00:36:13 ◼   ► do not disturb you know privilege right and and yeah you don't want to do you [TS]

00:36:22 ◼   ► asking for this but I can look at this as a user and say this thing should [TS]

00:36:25 ◼   ► happen and I would have bet that there's you know a half dozen types of these [TS]

00:36:30 ◼   ► products that could use the levels of access that the alarm clock alarm clock [TS]

00:36:34 ◼   ► app have and you know I like I said I don't hold out a lot of hope that that [TS]

00:37:59 ◼   ► the new one too even though I don't expect not to like but I like him enough [TS]

00:38:04 ◼   ► that I got the cheapest possible time that I could you know I looked at it and [TS]

00:38:09 ◼   ► I thought it's so close to the Apple watch and I'm interested in it but it [TS]

00:38:15 ◼   ► doesn't seem like there's any real benefit to getting it ahead of time if I [TS]

00:38:18 ◼   ► were a consumer just a pure consumer I would not have dumped on it I feel like [TS]

00:38:23 ◼   ► for whatever I paid for it the 200 bucks or whatever I can I can it's a perfectly [TS]

00:38:30 ◼   ► valid business expense of doing business for you absolutely well I think he was [TS]

00:38:35 ◼   ► that again it it seemed very clear that the Android experience with this was [TS]

00:38:39 ◼   ► going to be superior to the iOS experience and because Apple is now [TS]

00:38:44 ◼   ► making a watch they're not gonna be inclined to make it any better for [TS]

00:38:47 ◼   ► people [TS]

00:38:48 ◼   ► it that to me scared me off that a little bit I was also interested that [TS]

00:38:53 ◼   ► they did another Kickstarter imus yeah yeah I thought well yeah cuz I bought it [TS]

00:38:58 ◼   ► from their kicks are right but I mean just the I think it was two or three [TS]

00:39:01 ◼   ► years ago Kickstarter had a blog post and it said kickstarter is not a store [TS]

00:39:05 ◼   ► yeah that was the headline of a blog post and now this product I think it's [TS]

00:39:12 ◼   ► best to ship in May which is two months [TS]

00:39:14 ◼   ► kick-started the store for this product [TS]

00:39:18 ◼   ► yeah totally I mean there's there's no other way to look at this end it you're [TS]

00:39:23 ◼   ► buying this and in two months you'll have it and that you're not really [TS]

00:39:26 ◼   ► backing it to make it come into existence if you don't buy it there [TS]

00:39:30 ◼   ► you're going to buy it somewhere else in two months no matter what so I think [TS]

00:39:33 ◼   ► they open this thing six days ago it was sometime last week it was within the [TS]

00:39:38 ◼   ► past week or so although I seem to recall was my intent but anyway they've [TS]

00:39:43 ◼   ► already raised twelve million dollars which is crazy it's great they want to [TS]

00:39:47 ◼   ► add a $500,000 goal which they knew they were gonna blow through that right but [TS]

00:39:52 ◼   ► they've got twelve million and top I was looking a few days ago at the top [TS]

00:39:57 ◼   ► projects and the pebble was like number three and the pebble time was already [TS]

00:40:01 ◼   ► number four and the pebble was number one for a long time it was it was the [TS]

00:40:07 ◼   ► number one for like the longest period of anybody I also like I know that [TS]

00:40:14 ◼   ► they've hired some people with who were interaction designers for webOS I think [TS]

00:40:19 ◼   ► maybe all the way back to when I was Palm project which I've always thought [TS]

00:40:22 ◼   ► was a great design for an operating system like without any hesitation I [TS]

00:40:28 ◼   ► would say this you know second only to iOS and the one with the most ideas that [TS]

00:40:32 ◼   ► I kind of feel like we're better than iOS almost none of them got picked up [TS]

00:40:38 ◼   ► anywhere no no but like the way they did notifications with thing at the bottom I [TS]

00:40:43 ◼   ► mean that's you know we have a lot now they're you know they're called banners [TS]

00:40:48 ◼   ► but on the webOS they read the bottom and everything was designed from the get [TS]

00:40:53 ◼   ► go to support them so whatever was on your interface would shrink to go above [TS]

00:40:57 ◼   ► it you know it just all sorts of little things like that not that that's not at [TS]

00:41:03 ◼   ► the bottom is that much greater than the top there is so many little things about [TS]

00:41:06 ◼   ► webOS that were really nice you know and you know a lot of them have come to and [TS]

00:41:11 ◼   ► rain in iowa now you know the card based interface for switching is right was [TS]

00:41:16 ◼   ► webOS and they've they've just looking at the video for the new pebble time [TS]

00:41:20 ◼   ► there's so many little bits of animation and I'm impressed me and I'm it and it [TS]

00:41:27 ◼   ► looked like it was all straightforward like that they were shooting actual [TS]

00:41:31 ◼   ► prototype say it wasn't like that they were animator [TS]

00:41:34 ◼   ► yeah so it's impressive for eating I think and you know it just shows it was [TS]

00:41:41 ◼   ► a glaring weak spot and 1.0 pebble OS the interaction designer that then was [TS]

00:41:46 ◼   ► it really felt like like a device from the early nineties no animation [TS]

00:41:51 ◼   ► everything just sort of jump from one thing to another and no real sense of [TS]

00:41:56 ◼   ► what we call it even speciality I don't know like place where am I in the watch [TS]

00:42:03 ◼   ► right you're just always looking at whatever was there and then swiping to a [TS]

00:42:07 ◼   ► completely new wife in the whole screen and getting a new look at it right so [TS]

00:42:11 ◼   ► they've come up with you know is it actually going to be useful I don't know [TS]

00:42:15 ◼   ► but it to me at least its novel which to me is always impressive and it sounds [TS]

00:42:21 ◼   ► like it could be good this time line interface where older stuff is up and [TS]

00:42:25 ◼   ► future stuff is down and the moment right now is in the middle so if you [TS]

00:42:31 ◼   ► want to look at what you were doing yesterday you go up and you can see like [TS]

00:42:34 ◼   ► what was my step count yesterday I guess where was I yesterday and you want to [TS]

00:42:40 ◼   ► see where to go tomorrow you go down and it'll stay well here's here's your [TS]

00:42:43 ◼   ► schedule for tomorrow and then you hit the middle button on your back to now [TS]

00:42:47 ◼   ► here's the time and what's going on right now I think I think was a pretty [TS]

00:42:53 ◼   ► impressive response because obviously when was the Apple watch announced last [TS]

00:42:57 ◼   ► september yeah [TS]

00:42:59 ◼   ► so presumably they were already working on this but at me you know had a sense [TS]

00:43:05 ◼   ► that something might be coming from Apple but then suddenly Apple announces [TS]

00:43:08 ◼   ► it and they're trying to compete with that obviously as a SmartWatch but it's [TS]

00:43:12 ◼   ► a very different product they're not they didn't suddenly say you know what [TS]

00:43:16 ◼   ► we better put a touchscreen on there and it's got to be a proper you know LED [TS]

00:43:20 ◼   ► display LCD display rather you know that they they stuck with what they had which [TS]

00:43:26 ◼   ► was the e-paper and improved upon that in a way that makes it a different [TS]

00:43:30 ◼   ► product and not sort of a direct competitor to the Apple watch yeah [TS]

00:43:35 ◼   ► definitely I think if anything if if Apple watchers had any influence on this [TS]

00:43:40 ◼   ► at all I would guess it's only the time that maybe that's it you know it yet you [TS]

00:43:47 ◼   ► know that they expect to ship them in may mean but maybe that was a good maybe [TS]

00:43:52 ◼   ► it was really just motivation that knowing that you know when Apple finally [TS]

00:43:55 ◼   ► D cloaked the watch in September and said early 2015 that it really motivated [TS]

00:44:01 ◼   ► the people who work about it lets you gotta ship before they do we always have [TS]

00:44:05 ◼   ► to announce before they do a good motivation but I would bet though that [TS]

00:44:09 ◼   ► the the design of this was already largely in place and it certainly is [TS]

00:44:13 ◼   ► true to the original pebble vision and that's to me is also why these guys are [TS]

00:44:18 ◼   ► so interesting to watch as they clearly have a very different just basic idea [TS]

00:44:25 ◼   ► for what a little risk smart computer would be like that Apple does well and [TS]

00:44:31 ◼   ► it's much simpler it's you know it's is the technology inside of it is a lot [TS]

00:44:35 ◼   ► simpler which means it's cheaper means that lasts for like seven to 10 days I [TS]

00:44:40 ◼   ► think [TS]

00:44:41 ◼   ► did which was definitely true migraines yeah the first one we had good battery [TS]

00:44:46 ◼   ► life than I Apple still has announced an actual battery life but they're saying [TS]

00:44:51 ◼   ► charge it every night right so that to me is definitely not a good thing I mean [TS]

00:44:57 ◼   ► I don't think it'll affect things to natively but I'd rather not have to [TS]

00:45:01 ◼   ► charge a watch every single made right to know that if you're only going away [TS]

00:45:05 ◼   ► for an overnight you know just one overnight I'm gonna be in New York you [TS]

00:45:10 ◼   ► know for 48 hours do you still have to take your charger right and and it's a [TS]

00:45:14 ◼   ► different charges and everything else you've got so you got your charger for [TS]

00:45:18 ◼   ► your phone and your laptop and I don't watch right and it's totally [TS]

00:45:22 ◼   ► understandable why I you know although I wonder like his to me the way forward [TS]

00:45:27 ◼   ► would be to get the iPhone on the magnetic charger I mean clearly a [TS]

00:45:32 ◼   ► lightning port is never gonna happen on his watch because it would be horrible [TS]

00:45:35 ◼   ► but a magnetic charger for the iPhone that I could see that you don't like [TS]

00:45:43 ◼   ► decreasing the number of things you have to pack with you but on the other hand [TS]

00:45:46 ◼   ► like when you travel I always you know i charge my phone right before I go to [TS]

00:45:50 ◼   ► sleep and so if I have to charge the phone and the watch I still don't see [TS]

00:45:54 ◼   ► how you get out at two charges but at least you maybe you know you don't have [TS]

00:45:57 ◼   ► to worry that you've picked the wrong one right oh well I guess the other [TS]

00:46:03 ◼   ► thing that I started understand is that there's definitely been talk of using [TS]

00:46:06 ◼   ► the tactic feedback to wake you up in the morning if you're charging the watch [TS]

00:46:12 ◼   ► overnight that's not gonna work obviously right yeah I don't get it i [TS]

00:46:16 ◼   ► kno Jony ive I think it was I don't think they talked about it at the event [TS]

00:46:20 ◼   ► but I think there was some kind of interview with johnnie I've maybe it was [TS]

00:46:23 ◼   ► the vanity fair conference that he was interviewed at and he mentioned that [TS]

00:46:27 ◼   ► it's a great alarm clock and you immediately you guys messaging me how [TS]

00:46:32 ◼   ► how how that can be charged every night and then you'll remember at four in the [TS]

00:46:40 ◼   ► morning to wake up with a hottie like you have to say your iPhone alarm to [TS]

00:46:44 ◼   ► remind [TS]

00:46:45 ◼   ► but unfortunately that alarm goes no matter what your iPhone alarm will go [TS]

00:46:50 ◼   ► off to put the watch on and then four hours later to wake up there is some [TS]

00:46:56 ◼   ► talk I forget where it came out like in the dribs and drabs of stuff that's [TS]

00:46:59 ◼   ► coming out last few weeks there's something that came out of that it might [TS]

00:47:03 ◼   ► charge very quickly that it won't take all night charged that it'll charge [TS]

00:47:08 ◼   ► pretty fast and that might not even be because the charging technology is all [TS]

00:47:11 ◼   ► that fast but simply that it's such a tiny battery that a tiny battery writing [TS]

00:47:15 ◼   ► can't have that bit about how big it is right that maybe like an iPad that was [TS]

00:47:21 ◼   ► charging at the same rate would take a week but but the watch can charge in [TS]

00:47:26 ◼   ► half an hour's and did they say anything is the bigger watching have a bigger [TS]

00:47:31 ◼   ► battery it must write i i i mean why wouldn't I can't imagine that I can't [TS]

00:47:39 ◼   ► imagine that they would put a smaller battery and it just so that it has the [TS]

00:47:43 ◼   ► same you know and and you know presumably it's going to need the laws [TS]

00:47:47 ◼   ► of physics would say that right [TS]

00:47:49 ◼   ► going to need a bigger is going to the screens going to use more energy is the [TS]

00:47:54 ◼   ► question is will it have longer battery life right is it like an iPhone 66 + [TS]

00:47:59 ◼   ► type thing where the bear one is gonna have noticeably better battery life or [TS]

00:48:03 ◼   ► is it the other way around or maybe maybe the extra size of the screen [TS]

00:48:07 ◼   ► eat up all the extra battery fit in there I don't know it's a good question [TS]

00:48:12 ◼   ► I guess we'll see in a week maybe I haven't really thought about this Chris [TS]

00:48:16 ◼   ► for whatever reason selfishly I known that if I get one of these I'm gonna [TS]

00:48:22 ◼   ► want 42 millimeters not the 3800 meter so I haven't really thought about the [TS]

00:48:26 ◼   ► thirty eight millimeter ones and then when it comes to cost I haven't really [TS]

00:48:30 ◼   ► like the game that everybody's playing the last two weeks including me pointing [TS]

00:48:35 ◼   ► fingers but how much of these things going to cost I had occurred to me that [TS]

00:48:40 ◼   ► the thirty eight millimeter one would cost less [TS]

00:48:43 ◼   ► right at any level aluminum steel gold gold gold right right because even if [TS]

00:48:49 ◼   ► the price isn't really based on the price of gold it there's the illusion [TS]

00:48:53 ◼   ► that it is right right yeah so if you if you if they were the same price then [TS]

00:48:58 ◼   ► somebody's getting something for free right if you like it actually feels like [TS]

00:49:03 ◼   ► you're getting ripped off if they're the same price if you're having a big or the [TS]

00:49:07 ◼   ► small one but anyway we can talk about pricing moment we should but with the [TS]

00:49:13 ◼   ► bottom line I am very impressed by what they've showed I don't think I'm gonna [TS]

00:49:17 ◼   ► like it and I think you're right that maybe it's not even fair because I'm an [TS]

00:49:21 ◼   ► iPhone user but I'm rude I'm certainly rooting for them so I think it's I think [TS]

00:49:25 ◼   ► it's certainly great to have anybody in the space doing something to compete [TS]

00:49:29 ◼   ► with Apple and doing something different we're hopefully some ideas [TS]

00:49:32 ◼   ► cross-pollinate instead of you know somebody coming directly head-on and and [TS]

00:49:36 ◼   ► you're just trying to match features here it's something we're having had [TS]

00:49:41 ◼   ► some very different ideas and actually it changes the way you do things on both [TS]

00:49:44 ◼   ► platforms Android where I think one of the things that to me was a little [TS]

00:49:48 ◼   ► surprising about when Apple watchers unveiled in September was how at least [TS]

00:49:55 ◼   ► at the hardware level it's sort of the same basic idea is Android we're right [TS]

00:50:00 ◼   ► like it's you know a phone type display you know whether it's IPS or whether it [TS]

00:50:06 ◼   ► so that or whatever sounds like apples is going to be a lot because they want [TS]

00:50:09 ◼   ► the blacks to you know they want the deeper blacks but whatever the actual [TS]

00:50:16 ◼   ► technology you know I light up bright color phone display with touchscreen you [TS]

00:50:22 ◼   ► know it's take it take a modern smartphone and trinket or watch at a [TS]

00:50:26 ◼   ► fundamental level i think is clearly more ambitious than Android we're in [TS]

00:50:30 ◼   ► terms of having apps actually on the watch [TS]

00:50:32 ◼   ► and Android whereas a little bit more about showing you these cards that are [TS]

00:50:36 ◼   ► based on your Google now profile it's more like here's all the stuff Google [TS]

00:50:42 ◼   ► knows about you will knows you have a flight tomorrow because your Gmail had [TS]

00:50:46 ◼   ► the flight confirmation from the airline so they put a card on here and since [TS]

00:50:51 ◼   ► they know your flight and you're going to San Francisco then they know to put a [TS]

00:50:57 ◼   ► card on there that has your weather for san francisco this card based interface [TS]

00:51:00 ◼   ► but just at the hardware level you know it's this one day of battery life [TS]

00:51:05 ◼   ► Bluetooth connection to your phone with a bright color screen and powell ohio [TS]

00:51:10 ◼   ► has a very different take on that with the background obviously very different [TS]

00:51:15 ◼   ► with the e-paper with the year but what might you be expected Apple to do any [TS]

00:51:19 ◼   ► differently I guess I don't know I i you know i guess im the digital crown is [TS]

00:51:26 ◼   ► sort of their machine hardware characteristics absolutely and I and i [TS]

00:51:30 ◼   ► know that it sounds like a trivial little thing and I pointed this out on [TS]

00:51:34 ◼   ► Twitter the other day and a whole bunch of like Android people were like dude [TS]

00:51:40 ◼   ► all ended where front of a crowd look now but they don't have but it looks you [TS]

00:51:45 ◼   ► know it's placed where it goes on a watch you know it over there in the same [TS]

00:51:49 ◼   ► place where I dot background is on a watch but on all the end right where [TS]

00:51:53 ◼   ► funds that i've seen to date it's just a button you pressed to lightweight upper [TS]

00:51:56 ◼   ► dismissed things or something but i mean that Apple has done that his original is [TS]

00:52:01 ◼   ► the spinning crown and that a big part of the interaction of using the device I [TS]

00:52:08 ◼   ► think they talked about it right that the you know the gesture on the iPad [TS]

00:52:12 ◼   ► you know ten years ago the the the spinning wheel was a big deal and then [TS]

00:52:16 ◼   ► touch multitouch on the iPhone and now this is sort of the new gesture that you [TS]

00:52:21 ◼   ► know he is distinguishing and potentially change the way you're going [TS]

00:52:24 ◼   ► to use this sort of thing right I think that yeah I think you're right though [TS]

00:52:31 ◼   ► in his mouth that's exactly what he said like that each one of those leaps [TS]

00:52:34 ◼   ► forward came with one new thing like the Macintosh with the mouse pointer right [TS]

00:52:40 ◼   ► thing on your desk they slide on your desk and it moves the pointer on your [TS]

00:52:44 ◼   ► screen that's what the crown is to the Apple watch it so when you did the when [TS]

00:52:50 ◼   ► you got to try one on what did you try one of the functional ones on or did you [TS]

00:52:54 ◼   ► just not the I know they have like a demo no nobody had I know I've got to [TS]

00:52:58 ◼   ► try on only Apple employees got the function ones the ones that I got to try [TS]

00:53:02 ◼   ► on we're all running the loop but the loop included like when it included [TS]

00:53:09 ◼   ► things like getting a text message so it's like you know wasn't like a movie [TS]

00:53:15 ◼   ► was playing on a watch it like a series of events [TS]

00:53:19 ◼   ► yeah right but it's still not so bad so did you use the jeweled crown at all I [TS]

00:53:25 ◼   ► got to spend it but I did not get to use it in a meaningful way like it like when [TS]

00:53:32 ◼   ► I spotted it didn't affect what was going on on the watch right Yes thats [TS]

00:53:36 ◼   ► that sort of trying to get it is that almost nobody beside the Apple ppl has [TS]

00:53:40 ◼   ► any experience with how this interface actually works [TS]

00:53:43 ◼   ► oh that reminds me I have a bit of drama from last week with Jon Moulton show and [TS]

00:53:54 ◼   ► I used the wrong word I describe it I described the feel of the digital crown [TS]

00:53:59 ◼   ► as I used toward lugubrious I knew as a really wonderful word that started [TS]

00:54:09 ◼   ► without but lugubrious is a word that means looking for sounding sad and [TS]

00:55:12 ◼   ► and spin that wheel it just has a wonderful feeling feels amazing [TS]

00:55:17 ◼   ► it does not feel like you're spinning a mechanical thing it feels like you like [TS]

00:55:22 ◼   ► it somehow suspended in the world's like past oil and that it's like not even [TS]

00:55:29 ◼   ► touching anything like am going to spend in the oil doesn't it doesn't spin it [TS]

00:55:35 ◼   ► doesn't ever region and point right [TS]

00:55:36 ◼   ► know it's been internally in both directions like a mouse pointer mouse [TS]

00:55:42 ◼   ► wheel right right so if you were if if that's still and I you know people say [TS]

00:55:50 ◼   ► to me like i say like even on the show last week I i'll emphasize I am really [TS]

00:55:54 ◼   ► still have so many questions about Apple I'm kind of bummed about going to the [TS]

00:56:01 ◼   ► events where I go and I don't really have any questions you know I mean like [TS]

00:56:06 ◼   ► it when there's a new iPhone it's not terribly different from the old I write [TS]

00:56:10 ◼   ► like that the better example would be the iPad last year to delete with the [TS]

02:04:37 ◼   ► well I wonder if I definitely there are people inside of Apple who are aware of [TS]
