SPOT SDK coming soon?

spot sdk

Looks like Microsoft is going to introduce an SDK (software development kit) for SPOT, or Smart Personal Object Technology, their platform which uses MSN Direct's FM subcarrier network to wirelessly deliver instant messages, stock quotes, news flashes, weather, etc. to wristwatches (and eventually other devices, too). And it's about time. Since SPOT watches are mostly being picked up by geeks (the general public seems oblivious to them), the first thing they'll want to do is add their own content like RSS feeds and custom channels. We'll try and cook up an Engadget channel (if it's possible), because you know you want Engadget on your wrist 24/7.
