Hi guys,

I just finished this very interesting article at The Guardian, and I thought of sharing it with you to read as well.

Will the launch of the Apple Watch spark the next app goldrush?

Without a doubt. The smartphone, and their respsective app stores were a goldmine reminiscent to the old days of internet boom days. SO much money was made, even on free apps, which made so much money on advertising, ala Yahoo and Google in the mid 1990's. I believe Google even bought one of the app ad companys for a fortune. Wearables will be the next boom. TONS of money to be made in apps and advertising on tiny watch screens.

Still Looking Forward to Apple Watch Release

Hi guys,

Will the launch of the Apple Watch spark the next app goldrush?

This is a nice article. Now I know that I shouldn't expect a plethora of apps when the Apple Watch is released. It was also helpful to know that they will actually run on your iPhone then connect to your watch via bluetooth to use the apps. Now that I've adjusted my expectations, accordingly, I won't be disappoined.
