“The Most Talked-About New Devices Are Wearable”

Even people who want a Google Glass sort of eyewear will not use such a product until it stops being the creepiest thing you can put on in the morning. Perhaps that’s another reason why Apple just hired Angela Ahrendts from Burberry. From the Economist:

“A bigger job will be to ready Apple for the coming fusion of fashion and technology. The most talked-about new devices are wearable. Google’s Glass smuggles a smartphone into a pair of spectacles. Samsung’s Galaxy Gear squeezes some smartphone functions into a wristwatch. Apple is also keen to surf the wearable wave. An iWatch, which Apple may launch next year, would pull it towards Ms Ahrendts’s home turf, since it would compete with fashionable timepieces like Burberry’s.”
