    @weatherman: Up to over five bucks now - too rich for my blood. Still, I love the color scheme from these 80's computer systems. Sure, our systems today are 50 bazillion times faster, but being limited to black and white is a real downer when we had oranges and blues in the "good old days".

    I see the SX-64 below which I used to write computer bulletin board software on for a couple of years. Great memories (until a thunderstorm destroyed it). I wonder if there was a modem available for the UC-2000. Then again, I had difficulty getting any sort of a BBS running on 5K on a VIC-20, so 4K and no disk drive would be quite a challenge. #seikouc2000

    @weatherman: it's ok... most of these are broken now - the radio connection between the basestation and watch degrades ... I've got one & have been meaning to look in to it.

    Oh, also, modem is doubtful. But, it was available as an option for the PC-2

    Surprisingly a really cool looking time piece. However, I really wish they would adopt something other than cookie-cutter japanese movement, and switch the side of the crown. Everybody that wears a watch everyday on their left hand knows that the fancy carved crowns dig into the top of your hand. #maezmsharingwatch

    @DeLarge: Ha, I disagree, keeping a straight wrist and maintaining an acceptable, vertical, f-u post is something similar to physiological contortion. I say, real.

    Just curious, I measured the angle of my f-u post (which is the stupid term I've decided to call it within this reply) i approximately 55 degrees from horizontal without discomfort. I would be interested to see if everyone comes up with something different. #maezmsharingwatch

    @LCL: Ha, while your finale made me laugh, I have to say that 55 degrees from horizontal is < 40, measured with respect to ordinate or abscissa :) So you might have to step your anger game up a notch! It would seem that I use it enough already! #maezmsharingwatch

    Needs an accelerometer so that the orientation is based on the position of the arm. #maezmsharingwatch

    @AkkiRonin: And you're a selfish jerk. Clearly this watch is intended to be a charity watch. Not for yourself, but for the benefit of all those around you. Maybe you need to stop thinking of your own problems sometimes and realize that there's other people out there who don't even have a watch!

    There's 50 million people in Africa alone who do not know what time it is right now. In our world of connectivity and wealth, this is a tragedy. #maezmsharingwatch

    I fail to understand why my comments fail to appear here. I asked an important question for me as I am legally blind. If it will speak the time and is a durable watch it might be worth it for me to purchase even though I do not have a blackberry. #inpulseblackberrywatch

    @KyleW: From the article:
    * 1.3" full colour organic light-emitting-diode (OLED) display
    * Bluetooth® v2.0+EDR
    * 150 mAh lithium-ion polymer battery
    * Glass lens and full metal body
    * 22mm interchangeable wrist band
    * Vibrating motor
    * Micro-USB port (for charging)
    * Over-the-air firmware updates
    * Dimensions: 51mm height x 38mm width x 12mm depth

    None of those specs lead me to believe it will be able to "speak the time". Don't know for sure though obviously.

    Also, your comments did appear @ 12: 10 and 12:09. #inpulseblackberrywatch

    This is rather meh. For a gadget, it's quite limited. I mean for 150$, I would rather have a nicely crafted watch than a overly exerting gadget that tells me what's on my blackberry.

    Logic being, I receive a text message or a e-mail, I do a magical motion, one that destroys the way of people are acting... I reach down in my pocket... I take my phone... And I look at it...

    I just saved 150$, have I? #inpulseblackberrywatch
