Nixie, nixie, on my wrist . . .
Message #1 Posted by Paul Brogger on 1 Dec 2008, 12:20 p.m.

. . . look: a wristwatch with a twist.

This from InfoWorld's "Geek Gift Buying Guide slideshow".

(Let me know if it's been linked-to before, & I'll delete.)

(Oooh! Also, do the Wi-fi SD cards suggest wireless connectivity for my HP-49G+?)

[Probably not: "Compatible with all SDHC-labeled host devices (not compatible with standard SD)"]

Hi,

Eric Smith has owned one of these for a couple of years and brought it to at least a few HP conferences. How long has it been now, Eric?

The Woz famously has one too and wears it all the time.

I wonder if The Woz would wear a uWatch?

Here is a video of him talking about it.
