DO YOU keep your PDA with you all the time?. Really? How about during the early morning or late night exercise walk? -if you have one. And can you hear your PDA if it beeps while you're in bed? Well, with the Abacus WristPDA you can have your PDA with you all the time, because it's a PDA inside your wristwatch.

Yes, a wristwatch, that thing that refuses to die, despite some gloomy predictions about it going the way of the dodo. In my opinion there are some situations and places where people don't necessarily want to have PDAs with them: outdoor exercise, while walking the streets of an unknown neighbourhood, while in bed, etceteras.

But in all those situations, we can always have our wristwatches with us. In fact, have those that claim that people use their phones to get the time thought that perhaps we don't even take our mobile phones to those situations either?.

With the Abacus WristPDA you can read eBooks (provided you set the reader to use a BIG font), install dozens of third party freeware or shareware apps -from the thousands available for PalmOS PDAs-, set alarms, install health-related software, play games, beam data to other PalmOS PDAs or sync -all over the IR link-, share data with the to-do list, calendar or phone book in the PC-bound Palm Desktop.
