It's a watch that displays what's going on in the world. You
can set it to have your google wave inbox on it, or
facebook status, twitter stuff, etc. If you wanted to be
really brutal or messy, it'd attempt to somehow display
friendfeed perhaps. Perhaps it should be called a "Feed
Watch", then.
It
doesn't necessarily allow any input, but it simply means
you don't have to perpetually either facing a computer's
LCD screen, or pulling a flat device out of your pocket. It
allows you to position the status hunting part of one's life
as incidental, to the side, yet constantly available.
If something remarkable ever happened in the world, as
indicated on your Feed Watch, then you can move over to
the more appropriate input device by stepping up to the
iPhone, and then thinking 'stuff this' and moving over to
the netbook to do it properly, then remembering the
battery is flat, reaching for your heavy laptop, then
remembering how much the data is costing to send,
deciding to wait until you're at home or "work" to do it
there.

Will there also be a version which simply displays a
screensaver (say, an analogue clock face) for those of us who
don't necessarily want to be aware of everything or, indeed,
anything? |

Provided you have a phone that's capable of this, it should be
easy to make with some slight modifications to the Sony Ericsson
Bluetooth Watch, which displays caller ID and alerts you if the
phone moves out of tethering range. I'm pretty sure they have
full-featured smartphones in wrist-watch form factor in Japan,
though, so it's redundant. |
