Tissot Touchscreen Watch

Where'd this come from?

I happened on it for the first time in a full page ad in the new (June, 2008) issue of Wired magazine.

Looks like they've taken Apple's technology and run with it.

I say again to Apple: give us a laptop screen with a base into which we snap our iPhone, transforming the instantly connected phone into a fully functioning touchpad computer.

Remember Sun's "The network is the computer?"

Well, guess what?

The iPhone is a computer — let's use it like one.

Meanwhile, back to Tissot's nifty watch: Danny Dumas reviewed it last month on Wired's Gadget Lab website, writing that its "quarter pound weight plus J-Lo class thickness..." make it hard to forget you're wearing it no matter what else you might be doing at the time.

On the other hand, he began his review, "Even a sparse description of the Tissot T-Touch Expert watch is enough to stimulate the pleasure center of the gadget geek’s brain."

$1,095.
