[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Shortly after introducing HealthKit at its
Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on Monday, Apple released a
fitness themed ad to the tune of “Chicken Fat,” the JFK-era ode to phys
ed sung by Robert Preston," Anthony Wing Kosner writes for Forbes. "In a
brisk minute, the ad manages to show six fitness devices made by other
companies: the Misfit Shine, Fitbit Aria Scale, Wahoo Fitness Blue SC
Speed/Cadence Sensor, Withings Health Mate, Zepp Golf Sensor, and Adidas
miCoach Smart Ball."
"In addition it features a dozen third-party fitness-related apps: Wemo,
Misfit Shine, Argus, Withings, Zepp Golf, Johnson & Johnson Official 7
Minute Workout App, Strong Lifts, TRX Force, Sprinttimer, miCoach Smart
Ball, Wahoo Fitness, and Nike+ Running," Kosner writes. "So here’s the
question: would Apple really be putting a spotlight on a bunch of
devices that it intends to put out of business with its forthcoming iWatch?"
"I don’t think so," Kosner writes. "Instead, I think that Apple’s
emphasis on the number and variety of these third-party fitness-related
devices and apps is a way of foregrounding the iWatch’s role as a
companion device to all of the products featured. HealthKit itself is
meant as a central, secure database for all of a user’s health and
fitness-related data. The more different data sources a HealthKit
enabled device can integrated with, the higher the potential value of
the device to a user."
