Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) may have a winner on its hands before its even...announced?
Though some speculation has been made that one of Apple's next devices would be a wristwatch-like device, which probably would run a version of iOS. Some enterprising individuals made a similar setup for the iPod Shuffle Touch not too long ago, looking to sell a frame to allow the device to be mounted on an individuals wrist.
Well, ChangeWave conducted a survey of 1,713 people, with about 20 percent of respondents saying they'd buy the 'iWatch', sight unseen. The positive responses came from Apple's track record of "delivering ultra-convenient, easy-to-use, innovative products with a perceived ‘cool factor.’"
That's a market of about 60 million to 65 million people.
Apple is just about flat on the session Friday afternoon.
