Weighing in at a mere seven ounces, the Wrist-Worn PC Concept sports a 2.8-inch touchscreen LCD and can run on either Windows CE, or, get this, Linux (!). Other features include Bluetooth, a GPS receiver, 802.11b, USB connectivity, 32MB Flash memory, 64MB SDRAM, SD expansion, and a tilt sensor. Battery life is six hours in “fully operational” mode, with eight hours of juice normally.
Unlike the UMPCs that are flooding the CeBIT floor, this device is not being marketed at the average Joe. Instead, it is designed for “emergency rescue, security, healthcare, maintenance, logistics, and many other applications.” It seems particularly useful for military purposes, and if they get a working version going, the DOD might be one of the first customers in line.
