  1. Price bump? by greenfly · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Am I the only one that remembered them quoting $149 for this watch back last fall when slashdot did the original story on it?

    It could simply have been a mixup on the part of whoever submitted the story, since their old pda watches (non-Palm) were $149, but still, I got my hopes up until I saw the $300 price tag.

    Jeez louise, that first year they came out (before the Math teachers were aware of their existance) was sweet. You could just blantantly be fiddling with your watch during a math test and no one would know what you were doing. By the next year they'd caught on.

    Are there any purists out their who don't allow calculators in math anymore? Last I checked almost all students use graphing calculators (wimps!)
