Fossil’s First ever Palm source powered wrist device for under $300.00

 

John C. Dvorak with Palm Source CEO David Nagel

Good Chance if you own a handheld type of device its powered by palm. Palm OS is the worlds most popular software for Palm handhelds and smart phones. Fossil has developed the world's only Palm Powered handheld device that you wear on the wrist. Now that’s smart. It’s a innovative technological fashion statement. Fossil's WRIST PDA will run all Palm PRC and third-party applications. The stylish WRIST PDA is perfect as a stand-alone Palm OS device, or as a secondary Palm device.

In this case smaller is better. If your like me and hate to walk around with a pocket full of technology then this device is for you. Palm will release, All new, OS 6.0 sometime at Q4 2003 or beginning of 2004. I would expect to see future generations of fossil products to be lighter, include a color display, a camera, telephone or simple wireless communication device. WI-Fi from your Wrist, try that Dick Tracy
