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.

And exactly HOW do you enter data into this?

I really can't see how you're supposed to get text onto this thing. Stylus? Nah, it's too small. Voice recognition? Yeah that won't look weird and stupid talking to your watch all the time, plus I doubt it'd be very accurate especially in noisy environments. Looks like it's upload from another device then, which makes it seem pretty lame to me. Either that or some really lame button combos to get text on it, which is even worse, even if the buttons are onscreen.
