I , for one, dont see 'Linux on a wristwatch' to mean 'Run XWindows on a
wristwatch'.. I see it more for what you can actually DO with a
Linux-powered wristwatch
that watch could now be an MP3 player. okay, 8Mb is less than 3 songs...but
its a start...and an MP3 watch is a LOT better than one of those
walkman-style devices.
it could also be an SMS messenger, an email storage device.....and, with the
correct cable, a miniature FTP storage area....upload your work/files onto your
watch when at work...then download them when at home!
it could even be a Quake server when you're at work... after all, no cables
needed if you use a BlueTooth connection :-)
