iWatch to be launched in 2013

March 5: Apple Inc wants to release an iPhone-like wristwatch in 2013, according to a news report.

The Cupertino tech company has dedicated about 100 product designers to the project, according to Bloomberg News, which cited unnamed sources.

The iWatch, which has been rumoured for the last few months, would be able to make calls, show caller ID, check map coordinates, count steps using a pedometer and monitor health-related data using sensors. The device may also run on iOS, Apple’s mobile operating system, according to the report.

Apple has filed for 79 patents that include the word “wrist” in them, the report says.
