Article Summary
March 30, 2006 Italian embedded computing specialist Eurotech has released details of an upcoming Linux or Windows CE computer that’s bound to turn heads when it finally hits the streets later this year. The 200 gram Eurotech EvryWear WL 1000 WWPC (Wrist-Worn Personal Computer) is quite a bit larger than the most ostentatious watch, but is apparently comfortable to use and packs a ripping feature set including a 72x55 mm active display area on the wrist, with touchscreen (input pen on the strap), direct-access keypad and joystick, support for USB HI devices, microphone, flat speaker, headset/stereo headphone jack and it can be configured to access any remote host wirelessly, has an inbuilt GPS, Bluetooth, Fast Infrared, WLAN and a high performance CPU with the same power as a desktop computer. The WWPC has been designed to be as adaptable as possible and we see it being of special interest to Emergencyservices, Security, Defence, Healthcare, Maintenance, Logistics, in fact any area where hands-free access to large amounts information is a necessity.
