Welcome to our show.

This is a special episode of the Apple Insider Podcast,

and we're talking with Apple Insider editor Daniel Aaron who's actually on the ground in San Francisco and was at the Apple Watch keynote event today March 9th 2015. Dan thanks for taking a couple minutes to join us.

Yeah sure it's a beautiful day here.

Yeah I saw a picture of it's went to other places. Yeah, yeah, look very nice.

So you were in the keynote,

looks like you had a pretty good seat up at the front.

What was the general vibe of the people there?

Were people genuinely excited, kind of going into it anticipatory?

I think it was a typical keynote. It was a pretty packed auditorium. I was right behind the, there's guest seating. I think a lot of the people in front of me

were actual Apple developers on the watch project that he stood up as part of the part of that.

And like I said it was a it was a packed situation. Tim Cook got up and introduced as they always do they introduced the kind of a recap of everything

that they're doing and it was kind of funny every time he had he addressed something new

They would be sort of a like this gasp of like where when's the going into the watch

But the things that he introduced before the watch were actually pretty cool. Of course, the new Macbooks. And one of the more interesting things that nobody realized was coming was the health-related research kit project allows

medical researchers to connect with a large number of volunteers to show their data.

And they were discussing some of the ways

that you can use that data to do incredible things

on a scale that just hasn't been possible before. Right, and when typically started talking about it, it seemed, not to say boring, but it didn't, like

research kit doesn't sound very exciting, but once I actually started describing the kind of diseases that they'll be able to track and

what they'll be able to do with the iPhone I thought it was pretty astounding.
