The latest tasty nugget to emerge from the ubiquitous murmurings is that Apple’s smartwatch will come with support for third party applications and will boast its own App Store.

This makes sense as the Cupertino company would obviously want to run some live demos when it unleashes its latest must-have product.

The big Apple launch event kicks off 10am Pacific Time – that’s 6pm in the UK. Wareable will be reporting live, make sure you’re online for all the big iWatch release news.
