【摘要】：威廉希尔app 整理了苹果公司(Apple)的iWatch面世是早晚的事。从理论上说，这样的设备可能会让计算应用向前再迈出一大步。有了这样的手表，用户就不需要掏出手机来读取信息、查看提醒或获得导航指令了，那么下面我们来看看它到底有哪些吸引人们的功能。
Apple would be a case of "when" rather than "if." In theory, such a device could push computing forward. Users could check messages and get alerts and directions without having to whip out their iPhones. (And Dick Tracy would be spinning in his grave.) Here's our quick list of features we'd like to see find their way into the still mythical device.
鉴于各种传闻甚嚣尘上，所以你肯定会认为，苹果公司(Apple)的iWatch面世是早晚的事。从理论上说，这样的设备可能会让计算应用向前再迈出一大步。有了这样的手表，用户就不需要掏出手机来读取信息、查看提醒或获得导航指令了(“至尊神探”也能在墓中复活了)。本文将简要介绍一下我们希望这款目前尚披着神秘面纱的设备具备哪些特性。
Device pairing. Apple (AAPL) was recently granted a patent for a technology that would allow the two-way transmission of data between a portable media device and an accessory. While most Apple patents never see reality, this one opens the door to a watch that pairs with an iPhone so users could say, view messages, calendar events, Facebook (FB) notifications, or get turn-by-turn directions.
设备配对。近期苹果有一项技术获得了专利审批。它能让便携式媒体设备和辅助设备之间实现双向数据传输。尽管绝大多数苹果专利从来就见不到天日，这项技术却为这只手表打开了与iPhone配对的方便之门。这样，用户就能通过它直接浏览信息，查阅日程安排和Facebook的提醒，逐个路口获得提示转向(turn-by-turn)的导航功能。
Accelerometer. Imagine what an accelerometer would enable the iWatch to do. Given popular bracelets like Jawbone's Up and the Nike+ (NKE) Fuel Band, the iWatch could also be a similar health device, keeping track of things like steps taken and calories burned.
加速计。想象一下加速计将能使iWatch具备哪些功能吧。看看现在流行的健康腕带，比如Jawbone's Up和耐克公司(Nike)的Nike+ Fuel Band，iWatch可能也会成为类似的保健设备，能够追踪走路的步数和消耗的热量。
Curved display. Another patent Apple filed in 2011 reveals the company is working on a flexible screen wrist band with a touch-sensitive curved display "across a portion of the wearable video device where the flexible display overlaps itself." Sure, it'd be an aesthetic thing, but a curved high-resolution display would be -- for lack of a better word -- hot.
曲面显示屏。苹果公司2011年申请的另一项专利显示，公司正在开发一种柔性屏幕腕带。它带有一块触控的曲面显示屏，“这块屏幕部分覆盖在可佩戴的视频设备上，它的柔性屏幕可以折叠起来”。可以肯定，这会是个绝美的产品，而高分辨率曲面显示屏将更加“性感”——我实在找不到更好的词来形容了。
Rechargeable battery. Chances are an iWatch wouldn't run for long on conventional watch batteries, so we hope Apple finds a way to make it rechargeable via Lightning cord or even partly by wrist movements like today's kinetic watches. Equally as important: at least a full-day of battery life in between charges.
可充电电池。iWatch如果用常规电池很可能无法续航太久，所以我们希望苹果能通过闪电接口数据线(Lightning cord)，或至少采用如今的动能手表那样的技术，利用腕部活动来为电池充电。同样重要的是，两次充电之间至少要能保持一整天的续航时间。
