Fossil Launches New Wrist PDA (FX2008)

Fossil Launches New Wrist PDAReview of the Fossil Wrist PDA on Wrist Watch Review.FossilWrist PDA product page.Engadgetspots the Fossil Wrist PDA at CES.Fossil WristPDA Redux. Fossil has finally brought to market the long awaited Fossil Wrist PDA (FX2008).The Fossil Wrist PDA has been in the works for quite some time now, and was evenshowing up on Fossil's website and on Amazon as long as two years ago. I wrote asmall piece outlining the history of the Fossil Wrist PDA back in November,in case you're interested in ancient history.But for those of you who prefer to look forward rather than back, the new FossilWrist PDA is actually immediately available on Fossil's site, and if you can wait5-7 business days, they will even ship it to you for free!Fossil does not go into a lot of technical detail about the Wrist PDA on theirsite, but here's what I've been able to gather so far:160x160 grayscale LCD touch-screen.66MHz processor. That's twice the speedof the 2-year-old original.Palm OS 4.1 (same as the original).8MB of memory (up 4x from the original).Stylus integrated into the buckle.All I can say is thanks, Fossil, for not giving up on this watch. I'm sure somevery heated and ugly internal battles were fought and won in order to keep investingin this piece of technology. The Fossil Wrist PDA is not the first watch with anintegrated PDA to hit the market, but it's the first to be backed by such a bigcompany, and certainly looks to be the best. (I'll let you know for sure once Iget my hands on one.) (FX2008)
