eurotech_wearable.jpgeurotech_wearable_manekin.jpgImagine strapping one of these things to your wrist.


It reminds me of the Origami project Microsoft unveiled recently, except it's even sillier, so I thought I'd throw this one into the mix.

 

It's called the Wrist Worn PC(WWPC), developed in concept by Eurotech. In other words, it's not real until I see a formal announcement. But for all you Inspector Gadget fans, this device does offer built-in GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth, for all your wireless connections. It has an "outdoor" touchscreen which I believe uses a virtual keypad. The WWPC apparently works for both left and right handed people(Woohoo!), and Eurotech claims the device weighs around 7 ounces, not too bad for a wrist worn PC.  

 

The not-so-great news is that the device is powered by either Linux or Windows CE. You might as well get a cell phone/PDA if it's Windows CE. Linux might be a better option. The site doesn't talk about processing power, but I imagine this thing can get pretty hot over time.
