Fossil recently introduced a wrist PDA that runs Palm OS and looks really nifty. Right now it’s probably too bulky to be a comfortable watch, but I’m guessing that it will get smaller as the technology progresses. I think this is a cool idea; It would be cool to be able to have all the information in my Visor available right on my watch, but Backgammon, Solitaire, and Minesweeper are the Palm OS “tools” I use most often and I can’t imagine playing them on a tiny screen like that.

Aside: At the Barry Manilow concert Wednesday night my friend was incensed that he forgot to set the VCR to tape Greg the Bunny. (I haven’t seen this show yet, but he seems to think it’s excellent.) He complained that there should be some way to call his VCR from his cell phone (or wireless PDA) and tell it to start recording. I have to agree that that’s a pretty good idea. That sounds like a money project to me. Is anyone working on this?
