Toshiba: Unveiling Things Left and Right at CeBIT
Posted by Pat Logsdon in "NEWS" @ 07:16 PM
Toshiba, apparently possessing more veils than a shy belly dancer, has been taking the wraps off of many interesting devices at CeBIT this year. Next up: the Wristwatch PDA!
"The Wristwatch PDA...offers a fully functional high-end PDA in the comfort of a modern digital watch. It uses a wide screen hi-definition display for videophone conferences. It will integrate with your other Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices, [and] it will even broadcast to the nearest WiFi TV or smart display."
Not surprisingly, Toshiba seems to be pushing devices that use their tasty new 0.85-inch hard drive. According to Toshiba, these new concepts "are a vision for the ‘digital human’ of tomorrow". That explains the model with the binary skin problem, but does little to explain why their mockup department put a Palm OS on the screen. :roll: Hello, Toshiba? Clues available for .25 in the foyer. :mrgreen:
What do you think about this idea? Can you put enough screen real estate on the wrist to have true PDA functionality? If you could, would you want to wear it?
