WRISTOMO Launches On A DoCoMo Website

NTT DoCoMo has released its wristwatch-phone, �Wristomo� through its own separate website. The website takes orders for the phone which will be shipped beginning on May 7. Wristomo weighs only 113 grams, does wireless data at 64Kbps, and can standby for 200 hours. We�ve looked at Wristomo before at Techdirt, and Mike was somewhat down on the idea. My feeling is �vive la difference�. It�s a variety of devices and form factors that will get consumers with different tastes into the wireless market. I think this terminal will sell well in Japan, but even though it�s waterproof, it probably won�t make the swim to Europe or the US anytime soon.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
