During the break, I found a website that features a lot of the new apps that are gonna run on the Apple Watch.  It\u2019s a simulator, in a sense. The apps are actually installed on facsimiles of the Apple Watch, and you can tap or click on the graphics and make them work. <\/p>\n<p>So whatever the app is gonna do on the Apple Watch, it demos itself in this website.  I think it\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/watchaware.com\/\">WatchAware.com<\/a>.  I\u2019ll find out in just a second.  I don\u2019t have that here. I should have had that in front and center so I could give it to you, but I\u2019ll find it in just a second.  Anyway, it\u2019s a good little prepub website.  It\u2019s not related to Apple.  It\u2019s just an Apple blog that\u2019s decided to get a bunch of developers to submit their apps, and they\u2019ve simulated them as they will run on the watch on this website. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/watchaware.com\/\"><img id=\"eZObject_103069\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushWatchaware.jpg\"\/><\/a>WatchAware.com.  I think there\u2019s some 27 apps&#8230; (interruption)  What is it?  Say it again?  (interruption)  WatchAware.com.  Is that what it is now?  (interruption)  Watch&#8230; (interruption)  Is somebody saying yes or no to me?  (interruption)  Yeah, WatchAware.com.  I think they\u2019ve installed 27 apps on these icons of the actual watch itself, and you can simulate how the apps will run. Anyway, I sent the website out to the staff today as a public service, and they\u2019ve all been responding. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an app that duplicates the sound of a human being expelling gas.  This is a &#8212; this is an app that farts while you\u2019re walking around.  So Brian wrote back and said, &#8220;Oh, my kid, I\u2019m getting that app for my little boy. He will love that app.&#8221;  Dawn sends me a note back, says, &#8220;I can\u2019t wait for the maps app.&#8221;  So I said, &#8220;Wait a minute.  What &#8212; you\u2019re looking forward to an app on a screen that\u2019s barely 1-1\/2 inches, as opposed to a maps app on your phone that\u2019s either 4.7 or five inches?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>She said, &#8220;Well, yeah, because I can walk around and it could talk to me and tell me where I\u2019m going when I don\u2019t know how to get there.&#8221;  Yeah, so, okay, the watch is gonna talk to you and tell you when to turn left and when to turn right, and that\u2019s what you\u2019re looking forward. Yes, just on your wrist. You won\u2019t have to take your phone out of your pocket, is that the thing?  (interruption)  I don\u2019t know.  It\u2019s a Mars-Venus thing. <\/p>\n<p>The maps apps on the iPhone are to die for, they\u2019re excellent, and here\u2019s somebody telling me they can\u2019t wait for one on a one-inch screen, and it just made me curious. What\u2019s the attraction?  The attraction is the watch is going to talk to her and tell her when to make the turns, and that\u2019s good for me to know.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay.  I\u2019m sorry for the confusion on the website address for this Apple Watch site.  It\u2019s called WatchAware, one word, the word &#8220;Watch&#8221; then A-w-a-r-e, WatchAware.com\/watch-apps.  If you just go to WatchwAare.com, you\u2019ll see what I\u2019m talking about.  If you have any interest in this watch and wonder what it\u2019s gonna do, you can see how some apps are gonna appear on it.  That\u2019s the purpose of the site. <\/p>\n<p>Now, one thing to know &#8212; and I\u2019m not a big watch aficionado.  I\u2019ve got plenty of watches.  I like \u2019em, but I\u2019m not bursting at the seams over this thing, so don\u2019t think that I am compromised here in my comments on this thing.  The thing you have to understand about the Apple Watch at first is, the apps will not run independently on the watch.  They will actually run on the iPhone and be handed off to the watch using the continuity or handoff technology that Apple introduced in iOS 8 and OS X 10 Yosemite. <\/p>\n<p>Only later, maybe late this year, will watches feature apps that run by themselves independently on the watch.  This is being done primarily to save battery life, which is gonna be the biggest challenge that they\u2019ve got with this.  It\u2019s a small thing, it\u2019s got small battery in there, and you don\u2019t want to have to take it off in the middle of the day and not be able to use it \u2019cause you gotta charge it.<\/p>\n<p>So they hope to get a full day\u2019s use, and one of the ways is to make sure the apps are not actually using any of the watch\u2019s processing power.  That\u2019ll all happen on the phone to begin with.  But if you want to see how these apps look and how they operate, a bunch of developers have sent their apps to this website so they can simulate it all and you can see how it looks, and it\u2019s WatchAware.com.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Yeah, yeah, that\u2019s&#8230; (laughing) So let me&#8230; (laughing) Look, it\u2019s not fair to laugh when you don\u2019t know what I\u2019m laughing about, so let me clue you in here.
