Is this Dick Tracy's Wireless Wrist-computer at last?

The wrist calculator has come and gone. There have been wrist PDAs too, but here's the first - surely? to be a Palm PDA or even a Pocket PC device

<1/> The $145 Wrist PDA

First seen at Fossil the Wrist PDA takes your Palm data even into the sea. It's supposed to be water-resistant to a depth of 30 m - probably not good enough for scuba work, but perfectly good for the pool or the surf.

Priced at $145, it's a read-only device, with a joystick for navigation.

It links to the standard PDA via infra-red; so it won't do instead of an ordinary Palm.

The almost identical Wrist PDA/PC - FX2002 is the Pocket PC equivalent.
