Microsoft SPOT Watches

Octagon Most writes "PocketPCThoughts has a report from a graphic designer who worked on wristwatches using Microsoft's SPOT. Tons of design images here and a soon-to-ship model from Suunto here. Data plans from MSN Direct will be USD$9.95 per month. This is the coolest vapor from Microsoft in a long time. It's geeky _and_ stylish!" Our older story about the watches also notes that since it's a proprietary service, when the service provider decides to stop providing it, the device becomes useless.

Microsoft hired the wrong dude

Instead of hiring that web designer Rob to make smart watches, they should have hired, say, Jasmine St. Claire. Now I bet any Smart Personal Object Technology gizmo she would design would be a huge seller, much more than a silly wristwatch.
