We have been hearing about the inPulse “BlackBerry Watch” for ages now. Don let us know that inPulse is now accepting orders for both the metallic silver ($149) and black anodized ($199) version of their Bluetooth connected smartphone watch. In short the watch is programmable and connects to your BlackBerry and even your PC/Windows/Ubuntu machine with its own apps and notifications. The coolest thing is that the watch is programmable and they promise you can develop a “Hello Watch” app in 5 minutes. They have quite a few sample apps available for you to build on and it looks quite fun. The thing I don’t see is the apps that show you Caller ID, text messages, email titles, calendar alerts, and more from your BlackBerry. Hopefully that is still in the works…
Specs for the inPulse watch include:
- 1.3″ 96×128 pix full color display
- ARM7 microcontroller running at 52MHz
- 32kB total program space, 8kB RAM
- Bluetooth 2.1 (L2CAP)
- Over-the-air programming
- Vibrating motor
- 150mAh lithium-ion polymer battery
- Charges via microUSB
- Battery lasts up to 4 days depending on display/Bluetooth use
Either way you can learn more about the watch and pick one up at www.getinpulse.com. Still I am not sure I want a watch that dies less than every 4 days…
