It won&amp;rsquo;t. The is no iWatch. I&amp;rsquo;m not saying it will &lt;em&gt;never&lt;/em&gt; be released, but not in 2014, and likely not for at least a handful of years after that, if ever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There have been compelling discussions on this. One by &lt;a href="http://furbo.org/2014/03/13/wearing-apple/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"&gt;Craig Hockenberry at Furbo&lt;/a&gt;, and another by &lt;a href="http://techpinions.com/why-should-i-care-about-wearables/28559" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"&gt;Ben Bajarin at Techpinions&lt;/a&gt; - both are excellent reads. Craig&amp;rsquo;s highlights a multitude of serious concerns for entering the wearable space and poses the quintessential question for Apple:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
