So imagine this – you’re walking down the street, want to know how to get to your friend’s house, and simply raise your wrist to ask for directions.
No need to take out your phone. No need to have a Bluetooth headset. All you’d need is a flexible electronic device that could wrap around your wrist and comes fully integrated with Siri.
The voice recognition software platform, which has become the focal feature of the iPhone 4S and is only continuing to grow in Apple’s portfolio, is behind what the New York Times calls a secret new project at the Cupertino, CA-based company.
Specifically, Apple wants to create wearable technology, according to the report. The wrist-strappable concept is the only product specifically mentioned.
However, it wouldn’t be a standalone device. The NYT describes the concept as calling an iPhone "the brain that brings all these things together."
