Then again, anyone that doesn't think it's a somewhat stupid idea in the
first place will have read about it weeks ago ;) Like, maybe...
http://slashdot.org/articles/00/08/08/1256229.shtml
which was 3 weeks ago. Just as stupid an idea then as it is now. Give it a
decent sized screen and all the other useful bits, and it might be not
quite as silly, but would probably lead to embarassing wrist injuries. ;)
Actually, the idea isn't _completely_ stupid, just needs to be a bit
bigger than a watch. Excessive miniaturisation isn't a good thing. It's
like those people that think it's a good idea to write the entire bible on
the back of a stamp or something. Very clever, but you can't bloody read
it! Fools!
I'll go and lie down now.
