Is that a PDA on your wrist?

http://www.visorcentral.com/content/Stories/1322-1.htm

Fossil recently introduced the Wrist PDA - a stylish wrist watch that lets you download and store important personal data from your Visor using infrared beaming.

For those of us that are a little slow.

Question --

If the pocket PC watch works with both the pocket PC & the palm, but the palm watch only works with the palm ....

Uhmmm - why would you buy the palm one?

The only reasons I can think of:
1. Price - if the pocket PC watch is a lot more expensive than the palm.
2. Complexity - works & works easily can be two very different concepts. If you have to jump thru hoops to get it to work with your palm - that could be a problem.

Just wondering.

Actually the specs say each watch is tied to its own type of handheld.

Based on the info listed on the specification pages, it looks to me like the Wirist PDA only works with the PalmOS

COMPATIBLE HANDHELDS
Palm OS handhelds:
� Palm III, V, VII, M100, M500 models
� Handspring Visor� Models
� Sony Clie models.

and the Wrist PDA/PC works with PPC.

COMPATIBLE HANDHELDS
PocketPC handhelds:
� Compaq iPaq
� Cassiopeia
� HP Jornada

I don't see where either explicitly states compatability with the other platform.

They work becuase the PPC 2002 can beam thigns nativly to Palm handhelds. To the PPC, the palm version wristPDA appears to be a palm handheld - granted thought that it will not fully support it, as the software on it was made for Palm, so you only will get the basics - the PPC version was made for PPC and supports the features of PPC ..
