Zypad WL 1000, The Wrist Wearable Wireless PC
You might have wished for this gadget while watching Star Wars, but now you can actually have one for real.
Zypad, pronouced as [zaipad], is a wrist wearable wireless PC, which functions just like a standard computer. It weighs only 290 grams but consists almost all the components and functions that a pc can possibly have and more: 3.5″ TFT touch-screen, GPS receiver, Mini keypad, SD slot, USB ports, Stereos, supporting both Windows and Linux…
The most impressive feature in my opinion is the energy saving system that consists of a postition and movement sensor, so when you lower down your arm to the rest position, the screen will automatically switch off to save energy, and when you put your arm back up, it turns back on.
It’s a fabulous piece of machine, I’d love to have one but I think it’s just too futuristic in a way that I wouldn’t want to walk on the streets wearing one on my wrist, maybe it’s just me.
What’s your take on that?

Nice first post Zane and welcome to the team!
I’m sure future versions will be smaller. If only it recharged itself while you walked then it would be perfect!

Nothing is impossible…it can only get better…

Interesting idea! I think I’d be with you Zane in that I don’t think actually want to be wearing out and about - it would take some getting used to, it’s a lot more bulky than a watch.
I suppose you might get used to it, but if i needed something with that kind of functionality, i’d be tempted to go with a Pocket PC mobile instead.
