Microsoft announces wristwatch PDA

Michael writes: Inspired by the PalmOS-based wristwatch announced last week, Microsoft has announced plans to release a wristwatch PDA based on their Pocket PC platform. “Consumers have told us that PDAs just aren’t small enough, and according to market research people will buy anything that fits on their wrist,” said a Microsoft spokesperson. “It’s a win-win situation.”
Product development has not been without its issues. Reviews of the tiny fonts used on the device are mixed, and the stylus may be too large to select individual items. “We tried a smaller stylus,” said one source, “but it kept poking holes in the screen.” The battery lasts a short 3.1 hours, but a countdown timer feature reminds you to charge the device regularly.

I bought one of these and strapped it on. It burned my penis.

Oh, that explains it. There should be something in the instructions that explains that.

We know the head in charge. Hopefully, he had some appointments.

Fuck yeah I had the same problem - ended up in hospital. Third degree burns and the doctors say no more fucking for me. The cunt should come with instructions - would have saved me a lot of pain. Though you do live and learn.
