what I want to know is how BIG that wrist is. These types of devices have a tendency to be ginormous, and they look stupidly huge on the average geek's wrist.
It doesn't look too big to me. I don't have skinny fingers, and by the video neither does the demo guy, and when he's typing numbers it looks as though his finger covers about half the face, horizontally. I'm wearing a Timex Expedition that's about the same width.
@superfresh, the connotations behind most written comments on the internet are not received as intended by the intended party (or by most parties, for that matter).
Thus, unless the sarcasm is blatantly obvious and/or stupid, most people wouldn't get it without a /s tag. In your case, your sarcasm was neither blatantly obvious nor stupid, and you forgot an /s tag... hence the low rank.
15 years ago, I submitted a copy of a design I'd been working on, to the Sony Canada Corporation. This watch is just a small part of a unit that strap onto your arm, carries your MP3 files and other documents (portable data bank), touch screen like any other pod device, and hosts a bunch of other groovy information and latches onto peripherals and households... and 15 years after, this is all a company like LG can come up with? People should email me asking me for these ideas... There is way much more out there that can be done than a watch with a little "slide to next screen" button...

Nothing says sexy CES time like a hairy wrist.
Oh. baby.

What I want to know is why it's the right wrist? And that's coming from a lefty.
Oh, and FAIL. MSN Watch FTW.

@superfresh. I was unaware that the MSN watch could make phone calls or play music...or do anything useful...or continue to exist =P MSN Direct FTL.
@MyHeadisFed: I was unaware that sarcasm was so easy to miss.
