No one, we mean no one, steps to Thanko! Just hours after the launch of the SE/Fossil Bluetooth watch comes this critter from the synthetic labs of Thanko. By cleverly combining the "F" from the included FM radio/transmitter and "MP3" from uh, MP3, Thanko delivers the FMP3 watch, or foompthree as we likes to call it. Sure, it supports WMA playback but FMP3WMA just doesn't have that ring. What's novel is that this MP3 watch with up to 1GB of storage can also transmit your audio collection over FM to your radio while doubling as a voice recorder and clandestine USB 2.0 drive for fast and easy, drag and drop file transfer 'tween you PC. The antenna is wired into the watch band resulting in an electromagnetic field around you hand for controlling metallic objects up to 10 feet away. Ok, we made that last bit up, but you know you want it. Available in Japan starting today in 512MB/1GB models for ¥12,800/¥16,800 or about $109/$143. Not bad, really.

display is a small (1.2") 96x64 yellow-and-white OLED display. OLEDs are neat because only consume power proportional to the number of pixels that are turned on -- for a game like pong, that's a relatively small 1-2% of the display, so the power requirements are pretty small. Plus, the high contrast looks great with a game like this. I haven't worked out the power budget in detail yet, but hopefully I can get a day's use out of the watch, and then recharge the battery each night. The charger would also automatically set the time, so there will be no need for buttons on the watch.

ony Ericsson has launched the Bluetooth Watch MBW-100.
The MBW-100 boasts sleek lines, classic looks and represents a first as a mainstream Bluetooth fashion accessory from a mobile phone supplier. The analogue watch is crafted from high quality stainless steel and has a silver facia.
Designed in partnership with watch industry leader Fossil, the MBW-100 has a stylish OLED display beneath the watch face displays who is calling when a call is incoming. A simple key press on the watch can reject the call.

Made by One-Seg (Japan), this nifty watch measures 2.3 x 3.5 x 0.88-inches and weighs in at just over 4-ounces. Simply plug in a Willcom W-SIM card for mobile phone functionality, or you can watch terrestrial digital TV broadcasts on its 2.4-inch LCD display. Pricing and availability have not yet been announced.

Eurotech announced its wrist-worn PC in March. It said a MIPS-based version of the device would ship in June, followed by an ARM-based model sometime later.
The device targets emergency search-and-rescue, healthcare, homeland security, maintenance, law enforcement, logicstics, transportation, and defense applications.
