Computer WristWatch

Post by GAT »

I am trying to find a good, new wrist-top computer.
I was thinking about the IBM WristPad with Linux, but it's not out yet(I think...)
What are some suggestions for a good wrist-top?

Honestly, I don't see how these things can provide a good user experience, but…

Links don't work.
They go to let me bing that for you and let me google that for you.
Maybe just post the device's name.

The ZyPad WL1100 may be up your alley if you have $1000-2000 to blow on something that runs Windows CE 6 [or "Linux based on Kernel 2.6"].

I used to have an old Xybernaut wearable PC, but that's not exactly a 'wristwatch'. It had the CPU pack and a battery pack on your belt, a display be it a wired 9" wrist-carrable touch panel or a painful-to-use heads-up-display, and some way of interfacing (the touch panel, a headset, or a wired wrist-mount keyboard/mouse.

One problem with the Xybernaut HMD was its' size at the time, but it looked so frickin' cool:

You could also get the Poma, a CE(4? 5?) wearable... $1500 brand-new:

The Poma had another fun problem. One USB port. It was either the keyboard or a painfully awful to use handheld thumb-touchpad.
