Microsoft introduced a hi-tech watch that will be able to communicate with your computer as well as Microsoft‘s new FM-based national wireless data network. The built-in Smart Personal Object Technology (“SPOT”) will allow the watch to identify where it is, the local time (duh!) and the local weather forecast. More interestingly: it will receive the wearer’s personal calendar sent from a PC… AND instant messages sent through MSN Messenger. The subscription fee might be $5 to $12 or maybe it will be included in the price of some watches, but not with the simplest versions of less than $150. Availability: somewhere, sometime in 2003.
