Apple to launch Watch in seven more countries from 26th June

Tech News - Apple had directed people to order online, preventing long queues around its stores that have become a norm with the company's rollout of new products.
             
"We believe making the Apple Watch available for customers to purchase at an Apple retail store will drive increased sales volumes," Cantor Fitzgerald analysts wrote in a note.
             
The company said all orders, except one model, placed through May would be shipped to customers within two weeks.
             
"The response to Apple Watch has surpassed our expectations in every way," said Jeff Williams, senior vice president of operations. "We're also making great progress with the backlog of Apple Watch orders."

The company has not given any sales figures for the watch since it began taking orders, but has often said demand was outstripping supply.

Apple Watch will be launched in Italy, Mexico, Spain, South Korea, Singapore, Switzerland and Taiwan on June 26, the company said. The watch is currently available in the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan and the UK.
             
Apart from online stores, customers in these countries can also buy the devices at Apple's retail stores and some authorized resellers.

Developers wrestle with making 'killer app' for Apple Watch

Tech News - While app makers are passionate about developing for the Apple Watch, some are skeptical about the prospects of coming up with a big idea for the little computer on a wrist that hits stores on April 24, said Markiyan Matsekh, product manager at software engineering firm Eleks.
             
A killer app that grabs consumers' attention will be key to the success of the Apple Watch and could spawn new companies, as the iPhone did. The photo-sharing app Instagram grew into a USD 1 billion business bought by Facebook Inc, and Snapchat has gone from a mobile messaging app to a company valued at USD 19 billion.

Apple has blocked some features, such as the gyroscope and accelerometer, on the development kit, and the watch simulator cannot test all functions, developers said. Apple declined to comment on why developers cannot access certain features.              

"The limitations are discouraging," said Matsekh, who helped develop a Watch app to control a Tesla Model S without involvement from the electric carmaker. App designer Mark Rabo believes Apple is spurring creativity though restraint.
