No better locomotive

Apple technology. It has been shown from details like floppy suppression of their computers to launch touch phones or tablets. Although not in any case the inventor of these devices, yes that drives like no other before. With that hope Apple is expected to enter the smart watch market that will encourage the watch industry in general.
