if it can use palmorb then i am intrested, bluetooth would be a killer app for this thing as then i could hook it into my sysetm and see if i can make my Z pull the phone number from the phone and disploy on the watch then route the audio to my bluetooth headset smile.gif, all we need is a serial port i guess wink.gif

now where can i ind one of these in Australia?

Hmmm. . . Dismantled mine today, just to prod, and discovered something. The IRDA chip (2mmx10mmx2mm) has 8 pins on the back, and a larger pin holding it down. So looks like you could steal a serial port from the IRDA. However, you have a total of 1cmx0.5cmx0.2cm space internally to fit a bluetooth module, although you could hang it of the hole (full of translucent plastic) for the IRDA beam, which is about 2mmx12mm square.

Don't know if that link's any good?

Even just as it is, it's a cool, and useful device. (Just a shame about the 1 to 2 day battery life. Ah hell, who cares, you can charge it from a USB port!)

I like intelligent gear. That's why I bought the PalmWatch in the first place, instead of say. . . The Citizen Bluetooth Watch.

We all charge our Zaurus every night, right? We need to, after our long day of wardriving and audio playing. I find myself charging it even more often sometimes.

So why bother about extra battery life? And entertainingly, the WristPDA is pretty bulky, but most people seem to think that makes it look cooler. o.o
