The phratry over atVoxhave blot a curious email that was leak out as part of the Sony hack . Back in January 2014 , Dr. Oz post a subject matter to Michael Lynton , the chief executive officer of Sony Entertainment , ask about Sony ’s upcoming wearable devices . Since Sony produces his show , Dr. Oz saw an chance for good honest-to-god fashioned synergy .
The email implies that Oz was talking with some unknown wearable twist company at the time ( which we can now deduce wasprobably Apple ) and wanted to give Sony the chance to promote their health - focused products . Alas , it appears this synergetic marriage between Sony wearables and bullshit - peddler Oz was not to be .
“ I have been carefully postdate the wearable gimmick market place and am somewhat close to consummating a long condition relationship , but just saw the slice below quote Kaz Hirai and realized that SONY is moving into the blank as well , ” Dr. Ozwroteto Lynton . The “ piece below ” that Dr. Oz refer to was an clause inPC Worldabout article of clothing at CES .
“ We should leverage the SONY - driven succeeder of our TV show into other arenas where SONY thrives , like wellness hardware , ” Dr. Oz carry on . “ If you agree , how do you suggest we proceed ? ”
Who is this partner that Dr. Oz was “ pretty close ” to “ consummating a longer term kinship ” with ? It ’s impossible to do it for sure , but there ’s a good chance it was Apple . Dr. Oz himself was in Cupertino at the Apple Watch announcement eventback in September . And you may reckon he was n’t there out of the forgivingness of his heart .
The curious thing about Dr. Oz ’s appearance to advertise the Apple Watch ’s health features ? He was strangely in the background knowledge . Apple did n’t even invite him onstage , and all the newsworthiness coverage of him at the event isuncharacteristically low Francis Scott Key . Instead , Christy Turlingtontook shopping center stage to advance the new watch ’s health and physical fitness tracking features .
It ’s easy to job that perhaps Dr. Oz signed some kind of deal with Apple before he was called to show about his promotion ofgarbage curesin front of Congress . Those hearings were in June and his appearance at the Apple promulgation was in September . Who knows what the whole floor is , but it ’s strange that Apple would n’t put a huge public figure like Dr. Oz to better apply .
