My New Favorite PDA-Like Watch
Posted by Brad Adrian in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 01:00 AM
In the past, we've written and talked about various wristwatches that can synchronize with your Pocket PC or Palm devices. Typically, these watches are about the size of a grapefruit and the downloading process is excruciatingly slow and complicated. But, I recently found the new Data Link watch from Timex, and it works great!
The Data Link doesn't actually interface with your Pocket PC, but it does synchronize with Outlook via a USB cable. And, as you can see from the screen shot below, it has MANY more downloadable modules than other watches I've seen.
There are a lot of other fun features, like a choice of alarm ringtones, customized backlight settings and the ability to download new applications. I'm not sure if wearing this watch makes me a geek, but it is one powerful PDA-wannabe watch!
