Smart Personal Objects Technology will make everyday objects such as wristwatches, alarm clocks, and key chains, better at what they do. These information delivery devices will be able to provide high-value, personalized information that is time, location and context relevant. Enriching their functions in this way makes life easier for you, and with better communication. | ||

| This is kinda cool. If these little devices are cheap enough, I think they will spread like wildfire. |

I currently have a Suunto and this rocks!
The one they are advertising looks sweet. I can't wait to pick one of these bad boys up. |

| Unfortunately, you had better be American and not have a reason to leave the country. The FM DirectBand technology is only in use in America with some overlap with Canada and Mexico. |

#4 - "My guess is it'll be about $150 for the watch and there'll be a $9.99 a month fee for the service"
My guess for the watch would be similar... but where did you get the 10/month cost? If that's the case, this won't fly at all. This needs to be a service just like normal radio... perhaps paid for by occasional ads on the devices. If they make it subscription based, it will almost certainly fail. |
