Migo watch takes your desktop settings with you
We first heard of the Migo Personal software, which
lets you store all your Windows desktop settings on an iPod or USB key, a few months ago. Well, now they've gone
and made Migo available in watch form (and you know how we
dig watches). It's certainly not as
ugly as some gadget watches we've seen, and the 512MB
storage is nice, but the $230 price tag is a bit hard to swallow. Although, believe it or not, that's the same
price they charge for their 512MB USB key.

Keep in mind, though, that it comes with Migo's software, which is $100 alone, and very very spiffy.
I have the iPod version, and it's quite nice, even though the software itself is, true, a bit pricey.

A watch just like this (maybe same brand, don't remember) has been around for at least 2 years on thinkgeek.com. It is basically just a USB key built into a watch, with a retractable cord. Surely there is a program that will save windows settings, with no need for a special watch to do that.

What happened to "Watch This Wednesdays"?

I like how they have the price of $229 crossed out on their site right next to the new low price of $229. Anyway, this looks pretty similar to the Xonix MP3 watch which I found to be better than I expected. $229 doesn't seem to bad if the watch (and software) deliver as promised.

I just got off the phone with the company and they were adamant that they were a software, not hardware company, and that their physical devices were intended to be commodity priced. The software is designed to be platform agnostic - Mac desktop talks to Mac laptop - Not Mac talks to PC, and there will be a Linux offering if the demand is there. The more I think about it the more I realize there is *not* a comprehensive and simple solution for file synchronization that is as intuitive as this seems.
