Wrist worn Linux computer

“And with the powerful LiOn battery, you get a whole 7.3 seconds of operating time on a full charge!”

Seriously, though, considering the size of the battery on the MacBook, for example, how much time could you get with the battery on that thing? With the LCD on and all those wireless functions, I doubt it could be for that long.

Or maybe it relies on an ATHF-style battery backpack :)

Military grade will most likley mean way better performance since they dont have to worry about too many Safety rules.

I had a friend in Jr. high who was always proud of his calculator watch. I can see millitary liking it, but even Steve Jobs couldn’t make this watch cool.

This looks like something 50 years down the road we’ll look back on and go “Eww…”

I cant really see functionality coming from this. Let alone anything but an eye sore.

Did anyone besides myself notice that this wrist worn “Linux” computer is actually running Windows CE in both pictures?

Maybe they don’t actually have a working prototype yet at all, and are just using superimposed GUI images to simulate a working product.

The unit reminds me of the device that the Predator in the movie of the same name wore on his arm. Does this one have a self-destruct mechanism as well? Oh wait, if it truly runs WinCE, then yes I guess it does.

Sorry for the double post, but this device is old hat now. I was pretty sure I had seen that article a while back.

The “July” release date the article refers to was July 2006, not 2007.

For $2500, I could pay someone to design a wrist-worn holster for a PocketPC, that would run Linux as well.

the stylus will be the first then lost on the battlefield.
