A Palm watch for an old fossil (well maybe not that old!)


Originally from Arny (Toronto, Ontario, Canada): Sammy, every time I turn around you're doing more and more wonderful things to beef up the site. When the article came out that blog reading was up, I think that your web site constitutes most of that growth. ;>) I love the idea of a Palm watch. There are times when even my T3 Precious is too big. (Ever try to swing dance with a Palm in your pocket?). I remember back in my Newton days, I took a hard look at the Rex PC card organizer from Franklin. Sure I had my Newton, but I thought it would be cool if I could upload my calendar and addresses to the Rex and carry that in situations where the Newton would be inconvenient. Similarly with a Palm. There are times when it is inconvenient. I can see me going for a jog or a hike and not wanting to expose my Precious to extreme situations where a Palm strapped to my wrist would suffice. I don't expect to do everything on a watch that you can on a Palmtop, just like you can't expect a Palm to do everything a desktop PC could do.
I just wish for two things:
1) an elegant way to synch two Palms with the same database
2) that the watch were using OS 5.0 - Why is it Palm's extended technology partners are always a year behind?
