Anyone interested in this at all? Watch the constantly cutting out stream?

Dazzled by the Apple Watch?

One for my fellow tech nerds.

I watched and yes, it was cutting out constantly.

I don't wear a watch normally. When I do it's one of those old fashioned ones. But it's shiny. I like shiny. I'm getting the iPhone6 though. Not the + because I don't like BIG phones.

I'm a lone Apple fan in a family of Windows, Linux and Android people. Ugh...  ;D

Btw, 240 fps video!!!!!!!! Wow!

Same. 4.7 screen is definitely big enough! i'm still rocking the 4 after 3.5 years, so it's definitely time to upgrade. not sure about the rounded edges, though...

I actually do need a new watch, so might be tempted, but I'll wait to see how good it looks in the flesh cos otherwise it'll be overpriced relative to nicer watches in that price bracket.

Those videos are going to be awesome - can't wait to get filming with that.

I can't wear watches or jewellery. In fact, anything metal brings my skin out in an angry rash. I'll probably get the iPhone 6 though when my contract is up next year, so long as they keep up with the quality of materials.

I can't wear anything other than precious metal either or the same thing happens - gold or silver and I'm fine, but cheap metal nuh. My skin demands only the best.  ;D

As for Apple in general, I couldn't care less about the latest gizmo I'm supposed to want to purchase for hundreds of dollars when it cost them peanuts to make. Out for a jog the other day I saw a guy walking up the road with a tablet to his ear - looked ridiculous. Each to their own. I'm obviously just bitter cause I didn't invent stuff everyone wants to buy. :)

I used to be fine with gold and silver, but they irritate my skin a little these days too. So, I just don't bother any more.

I like to have a good phone. This is my first time with Apple and the only thing I don't like about it is that I can't steal music... but I listen to digital radio mostly anyway these days, so I'm not too bothered. I paid 99p for my ringtone and I never need another one. What I like about the iPhone is the quality. Android phones are plastic and use cheap parts, they usually last two years (if one is lucky) and they're done. When my contract is up on this phone I'll be able to sell it for £100 fairly easily.

So, I think, just on quality the iPhone does it for me. I can't steal stuff, but so what, I've pretty much grown out of that anyway.

Absolutely. The quality is second to none. A good friend of mine mocked the "overprices" Apple purchase 3.5 years ago, and he's had three Android phones (2 Samsung, 1 Sony) go down on him in this time.

The only manufacturer that comes close to Apple-quality build is HTC, but then the software is not iOS standard (it's perfect to sync between my MacBook, iPhone and iPad), so there's really no choice for a top level hardware / software combination.

And Libby, that tablet to the ear was probably Samsung's monstrous thing they've had out for a few years.
