Tech Five: Apple Watch now available in-store (kind of)
Customers can now pick up an Apple Watch in stores -- but only if they reserve the watch online beforehand.
Reservations begin at 8 a.m. each day, but because of high demand, Apple advises that selection is limited.
Let's take a look at the technology stocks to watch Wednesday:
Apple (AAPL)
Apple shares were slightly up Wednesday morning as The Apple Store now supports online reservations of the Watch. The company says all Apple Watch models are available by reservation only, and it is possible the watch will become unavailable before the reservation is even confirmed.
Amazon (AMZN)
The e-commerce giant is considering a new Uber-like courier service, which would shake up the way its products are delivered to customers. If the service materializes, the delivery model could broaden Amazon's delivery base as well as cut costs.
Box (BOX)
Cloud-storage company Box announced a deeper integration with Microsoft Office, according to BloombergBusiness. Users now can create Microsoft Office documents and spreadsheets from within Box. Microsoft (MSFT) sells competing cloud file-sharing and storage program, OneDrive. As of morning trading, shares for both companies were up -- with Box shares up almost 2%.
Nintendo (NTDOY)
Nintendo did not announce any new intellectual property at its Electronics Entertainment Expo press conference Tuesday. However, the gaming company did unveil Mario Maker, an interactive tool that lets the player build their own Mario levels, as well as a partnership with Activision.
Oracle (ORCL)
Oracle, a multi-national computer technology company, is scheduled to report its financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter, which ended May 31. According to the Wall Street Journal, Oracle is expected to post earnings of 72 cents a share, compared to last year's 80 cents a share in net income.
