What Could Make or Break the Apple Watch



The Apple Watch is expected to make its big debut on Monday, and both Silicon Valley and Wall Street will be eyeing the much-hyped wearable for imperfections.
Max Wolff, chief economist and tech expert at Manhattan Venture Partners, had a laundry list of concerns about Apple's entry in the wearable tech scene, chief among them water resistance, battery life and screen size.
Apple showed off its watch design last September, but it didn't provide several vital details that many consumers would use to determine whether to buy one. Many gadget lovers are looking to find out whether the watch is water resistant, Wolff said.
"Nobody wants to pay $500 for something, then wash their hands and have it be a very expensive paperweight," Wolff said. "Also the battery life. It's also fun to have a watch that's alive on your wrist."
Another point of concern for consumers will be how apps work on the device, Wolff said, especially given the watch's small screen. Apple announced last November that developers were starting to design apps for its watch and start battling that challenge.
The watch will only be compatible with the iPhone 5 or newer, running iOS 8, according to Apple. The price was also a concern for Wolff.
The lowest-priced Apple Watch will cost about $350, but anything beyond the base model will cost significantly more, with the average unit costing more than $500, according to Wolff's estimates. Apple plans to offer three lines of the watch, each with two different sizes.
"So there will be some folks who want it and have to aspire to it, and need to upgrade their phones to get it, and probably from a sort of profit perspective for Apple, getting more people excited about getting the phone or upgrading their phone will probably make them more money in the short run than the watch," said Wolff.

Voice Calling Test

Which voice calling app uses the most data per minute? We tested the top 10 Free voice call apps, which use data to place calls, can offer a cheaper way to keep in contact with friends abroad and come to the rescue when you’ve used up your monthly minute quota. However, with multi-gigabyte data plans still often coming at a premium price, the busiest chatters out there could soon eat into their monthly allowance using voice over data calls. To shed some light on the issue, we’ve gone back over our list of  10 free call apps  to investigate just how much data these apps end up consuming. In the list you’ll find popular apps such as Hangouts, Skype, WhatApp and Viber, as well as regional favourites including Line and Nimbuzz. The test method For our test, we subjected each of these 10 apps to three separate one minute calls and recorded the amount of data used by the app after each call. These three totals were then averaged together to produce the result. Bo...

Nexus

Huawei and Google reportedly releasing a Nexus phone this fall This year, we may see a first for Google’s line of Nexus Android phones: a Chinese manufacturer.  The Information  reports that Huawei is in line to produce the device, which is said to be planned for fall. It’s not the first we’ve heard of the possibility; IBT said last month that the Huawei Nexus phone was coming, citing an employee at the company’s UK branch, while  Android Police  published a tentative rumor in May suggesting that there would be two Nexus phones this year — a 5.7-inch Huawei device and a 5.2-inch phone from LG. The relationship between Google and Huawei could be mutually beneficial beyond the phone’s co-development.  The Information  claims that talks are in progress for Huawei to help Google bring a mobile app store to China, where government regulations have restricted the search giant from conducting much business of note. HUAWEI COULD HEL...
