blackberry now aims for your wrist  

Posted by Ximena Cestoni Aguirre in , ,

Allerta is preparing to launch its new "inPulse" Smartwatch for Blackberry. This watch lets you check your SMS, Emails and incoming calls by just looking at its 1.3" full colour organic light- emitting-diode (OLED) screen.

So, if you have your hands full and you cant find your phone, Allerta give you a new option. You just have to glance at its screen and see who's calling or texting.

This product has turned out to be so successful that in no time, it has managed to sell its first batch by pre-orders and is now starting to manufacture their second batch to supply its high demand.

What do you think about this new product? Are you willing to change your normal watch in order to keep in touch or is this going to far?

Now people are going to be talking and receiving text hands free. I think it's all a bit much, is it really that hard to pull out your phone to see who is calling you or to wait five minutes to free your hands before you can text the person on the other side back.
There is also the design it may be a good size for a male but it may be a bit bulky for a females wrist. However if it got any smaller it would be imposable to read.

They've had several attempts over the years. I haven't heard much about the previous once after the initial buzz died down. At least this one has a nice screen. It states that it has one button interaction. I wonder if it is still user-friendly.
I agree with Danielle that it seems to be a device that actually doesn't save you that much time. I read someone that it is common for people going to meetings to place their phones on the table to make sure that they can keep up to date with communications at all times. I think that people who buy this will realize it's not as useful as they thought it would be.
It seems neat but pretty unfashionable. Could this be the modern calculator watch?
