smartWatchM makes your Windows Mobile device compatible with the Sony Ericsson Watch

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

This is pretty cool! While the practicality of a watch with a phone built in is somewhat dubious, Sony Ericsson make a rather smatch Bluetooth enabled watch that can be used to display various information from your device. The watch which is detailed on this Sony Ericsson page, has of course been designed for use with Sony Ericsson devices. Thanks to an enterprising developer however, it will now work with your Windows Mobile device, courtesy of smartWatchM!

Event better, when used with WinMo the watch supports MORE features than when used with Sony Ericsson phones! :)

[i]What's your thoughts? Is the watch worth the money? Is the functionality useful?[/i]

I've looked at the watches a few times, but they're big and bulky and expensive.

I can't see me getting one of these until they can route the audio through the watch ala Dick Tracy

[Guest nickcornaglia]

I think this was my idea. I need to find a post to see if implied patents were infringed upon.

But I always thought of it as the front screen of a StrTrk on a watch.

Is that the smallest LED set ever?!

Would be nicer if the watch were full screen showing callerID pics as well.

Coool idea...but not 100% there yet.

That really is an incredible little device. Pretty expensive, but at least the watch looks nice.

[Guest blewer]

Shows potential for the future.

Bit expensive for the limited function (at the moment)
