Do you want the time or the www ?

from the internet-on-your-wrist dept

HP and Swatch have announced a partnership to build a wristwatch, that can not only tell you the time but let you surf the web too (lead from Nanogirl news). I like this idea of accessing the wireless web a lot more than others because there's less of a chance of losing your watch than other such devices. My main concern with this form of surfing would be the small screen's visablility.

    Maybe they could make it a monacle instead...

    Just put a little rubber eyepiece on it so you hold your watch up against your face, that would make the screen bigger. OK, maybe that's a bad idea...

    It's a shame that none of these digital watches I see are ever good as a dress watch...
