Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
The Apple Watch's release is edging nearer, and even though we don't know exactly when that will be, the excitement is starting to build for the iPhone companion.
