The first wristwatch-style PDA has gone on sale in the US, targeted at fashion conscious and tech savvy young users with $140 to spare.
Although there is little new in the technology of the Wrist PDA, which is made by watchmaker Fossil, it is the first time that a non-technical company has entered this market.
The Wrist is a Palm-compatible device displaying contacts, a to-do list, appointments and other information. But at the moment it still has to connect to a conventional PDA to collect its information.
It has 190Kb of memory, the equivalent of 1,100 contacts, 800 appointments, 5,000 to-do notes or 350 memos.
The Wrist PDA can be plugged into Palm OS devices like the m500, the Handspring Visor or the Sony Clie, and Fossil has plans to sell a Pocket PC-compatible model later this year.
Oh, and it tells the time too.
