Windows Phone Thoughts: Is That A CE-Based PC On Your Wrist???

"The last time we saw this wrist-worn PC it was a mere concept, and a sketchy one at that. With some outlandish claims like 8 hours of battery life, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, SD card expansion and a QVGA 3.5-inch LCD, we just figured we'd let it sit until its creators managed to throw it together for reals. Well, it looks like they managed to do just that, and the new ZYPAD WL 1000 from Parvus has all those capabilities and more. An interesting supplement to the GPS function is a tilt sensor to recognize if the user is moving, providing an extra Big Brother factor for employers. The unit can run Windows CE 5.0 or a Linux OS based on Kernel 2.6 with its 400MHz processor, and there's also a USB port, backlit keys and an audio jack to flesh out the feature set."



A wrist-worn device, such as this one, may not be exactly what we want in a Pocket PC, but this CE-Based device may fit the bill in some conditions. As is noted, this device - the Zypad, was shown to military buyers in the hopes that soliders on the battlefield would have need for a PC strapped to their wrist. Whatever you think of the usability of these sorts of devices, they do look cool!
