^^That's a great article and does make me laugh that as Americans we always think everything is designed for us. That health "bigdata" software is a joke and could be sooooo much more integrated, but is simply an afterthought to apply the technology to Western culture and derive a 1-10% market, relative to exactly what the article above points out. They haven't even put in an app to add your genetic information or a proper EMR yet, which is weak. Apple's products will always do well in different parts of the world. I think based off the individuality of the iWatch (just by putting different designs on the screen) it'll do well in Japan as well, as fashion more than anything. I mean, since this is a fashion board, you can in theory make the iWatch match literally anything you wear instead of having to own tons of watches to do that (assuming you actually care about matching, since now everyone wears black/white/gray like all of us on SZ). For some people that's really attractive in itself. Just more as pop-culture accessory bling or whatever.
Take those populations and well....for marketing the iWatch.....who really cares about the Western world, right?
In contrast to most, I think it's not a bad deal for the price and function (relative to other watches, which don't appeal to me at all....in fact, I hate watches) I think it'll do extremely well, globally.

Anyone else install OS X Yosemite with great results? I was expecting a nightmare since the online reviews are so poor, but it has improved performance really nicely on my MacBook Pro. The internet runs way faster and honestly, just about everything including Mail and iTunes seems to run faster. Pretty happy thus far.
