Wristwatch Phone Proves Popular
Clearly, I have no idea what I'm talking about. After suggesting that a "wristwatch" phone was most likely to end up as a novelty item instead of a really useful phone, DoCoMo came out with their wristwatch phone, the Wristomo, in Japan and they sold out of the first batch in 20 minutes. Of course, it still might end up as a novelty item. I do like the "concept" of having one less device to carry... I'm just not convinced of the practicality of it.
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
