HP Wireless Watch


Imagine a wearable wireless hub that sits right on your wrist (which is getting a trifle crowded with all the other wrist gadgets coming up). Pretty nifty, huh? Unfortunately, that's all you can right now, i.e. keep imagining. HP dreamed up the concept of a "personal area network" that can handle any wireless connection, be it Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, WiMax or 3G, while looking Tiffany pretty on your wrist. However, the nearest date that HP reckons this will be commercially available is 2016, a good decade later, by which time some of us would need help just putting on our dentures. Still, it's a worthy idea. And like all good ideas, this one may be worth waiting for. Check out the artist rendering meantime.

想象一下一个便携的无线装备别在你的右手腕上,这个设备使得其他手腕式携带的小玩意儿安然失色,是不是很漂亮呢?不幸的是,你现在所能做的只能是想象了。HP构想着一个处理任何无线设备连接的个人局域网,如蓝牙,Wi-Fi,WiMax 或者是3G,而别在手腕上就像Tiffany首饰一样精致好看。然而HP估计要到2016年才能把这个设备投入市场,不过到10年之后,那时有些人将会想把设备装到假牙上了。这仍然是好主意,就像所有的好点子一样,这个玩意儿仍然值得去期待。
