How Would 'Healthbook' App Look Like? [Images]
A designer named Carlos Quijano has recently posted some renderings of what may be iOS 8 'Healthbook' app. In case you don’t know, this is an application that will be working with your iWatch and monitor your fitness activity, for instance, the number of miles you walked or the quantity of calories you burned.

iWatch сoncept by Belm Designs
A new concept of iWatch was presented by Mark Bell of Belm Designs for a contest featuring future products from some of today’s tech-giants.
We toyed with different shapes and even based a few on current offerings on the market today. We found that when it comes to a watch or in this case a “Smart Watch”, a traditional circular shape was most favorable. Most people are quite comfortable with the shape and it still exudes class and style.
Apple will use iOS 8 for iWatch and implement some sensors to monitor fitness and health signs for 'Healthbook' app. An expert on sleep research and a 'User Studies Exercise Physiologist' have been hired to work on the project.
According to Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty, Apple may gain $17.5 billion from iWatch sales over the first year.

iWatch first year sales can become a record
