Microsoft SPOT Watches

Posted by michael on from the time-to-reboot dept.

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.

  3. Microsoft hired the wrong dude by Rosco+P.+Coltrane · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    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.
