Zypad wireless wrist-wearable war-phone
Once a watch simply told the time. Then along came Casio and digital watches, and soon calculators, thermometers, altimeters and even compasses were added onto the growing feature-list of this humble device.
Today, it's the mobile phone that's become the rampaging wildebeest of technological innovation, forcing older-tech devices such as cameras, videos and even the humble watch to the edge of extinction, as it encompasses more and more of the features once the preserve of these old 20th century devices.
But now, a new beast stalks the battlefields of gadget-land (and actual battlefields, too); a strange new hybrid born from a mutation of the mobile phone, the PC and the humble digital watch. This new species is the Parvus Zypad WL 1000 wrist-wearable wireless computer.
The Zypad is a military machine, designed to give the soldier instant access to computing capabilities, and featuring hands-free operation, WiFi, Bluetooth, and built-in GPS tracking. It also would seem to need the arm of Schwarzenegger, which gives a clue as to this strange beast's parentage: the Sony Ericsson W710i!
For those needing this mobile computer phone thing, it's designed for battle, so will be a). expensive, and b). extremely limited to those not in the military. If you still need more info, the Zypad WL 1000 uses Windows CE or Linux operating systems, and features an AU 1100 processor clocked at 400MHz, 64MB each of flash RAM and flash ROM, a 3.5” QVGA (240 × 320) touch screen with automatic contrast adjust, and an 11-key keypad.
