Wristomo -- "NTT DoCoMo announced that it will soon begin marketing the WRISTOMO, the world's first commercial wristwatch-style Personal Handyphone System (PHS) mobile phone."

I've often wondered if technology sometimes evolves to be like sci-fi and comic books because that is where the idea came from, or because of parallel development.

Does anyone else think that if you aren't lantern-jawed and wearing a trenchcoat and hat that you will most likely look really dumb operating this device?

Maybe I misunderstood it, but it looked like you had to remove it from your wrist and unfold it before using it as a phone.

People are afraid of cancer sticks, yet they'll wear phones next to their skin for long periods of time every day? Uh huh.

My tip is good for basic receiving and making calls. Bad for other functions! Would like to give one of these a test run.

Be nice if webword could sign up for some of these product trials and we have a different group of people test drive it and report results. Like a usability version of a "car show" where they test the latest and greatest cars :)
