||
| Time: 09:42 EST/14:42 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

In his annual "state of the industry" speech at COMDEX Fall 2002, Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates showcased a wide range of new devices, innovative software and industry partnerships that he said will bring exciting new benefits to consumers. Demonstrating a number of scenarios that showed the potential for computing to play a central role at work and in the home, Gates provided a first look at Microsoft® OneNote, a new Office family application that helps people organize and use information more productively, and offered a sneak preview of smart personal objects under development at Microsoft Research, including a travel clock, key chain and wristwatch that deliver timely, personalized information. | ||

That alarm clock sounds Sa-weet!
Even the ABMs have to admit that Microsoft SHAKES things up. The stupid alarm clock has been sitting there, without major change, for 15 years. |

| I am curious as to how many people actually travel with their alarm clocks (across multiple time zones). So in general this clock would need internet connectivity, why not just open a browser and get all that you need. Seems to me that a PDA already does most of these things. |

| so, I'm guessing version 2 will be able to determine the wake time based on your Outlook and hotmail calendars? |

| Actually I carry my Braun "travel alarm" with me all the time. It never fail to wake me up. Seriously I saw an alarm that project the time on the ceiling or on a wall; I would like to be able to see a web news page or Outlook today projected in the same way. |

what about all of those lovely people that give me wake up call when I travel? This will put them out of a job. This is grounds for a law suit! MS is leveraging their monopoly in desktop to force their way into making wake up calls.
I see a lawsuit, better yet we should go with the Java/Linux/Lindows/Apple version. |

let me beat nomblev to the punch...
<Im Not Serious>Apple's iPod has a clock built in. This is just another example of Microsoft trying to steal technology from Apple.</Im Not Serious> |
