Looks cool.

But when I do upgrade my venerable analog watch, it's probably going to be to a http://lunatik.com + ipod nano 6g. A little more expensive, requires a jailbreak, but a hell of a lot more functional, and doesn't require uploading my code anywhere to compile it once jailbroken.




That was my plan too with the hope that I could do something similar to this and load/write my own apps. I actually received my lunatik kit with a ipod nano 6g about two weeks ago.

1) the ipod nano 6g has not been jailbroken.

2) the ipod nano 6g has no bluetooth built in

This watch is a better fit for what i want to do now - get up and running now with a programmable wrist based terminal.

I love the design of the lunatik but until the nano 6g is jailbroken I'm just wearing a nano on my wrist. The novelty of which has worn off since I can't hack it to do anything special.


Has the nano been successfully jailbroken? Last I saw was that some of the images/text could be changed but I wasn't aware of anyone getting actual new code running...?


Seems I was mistaken and the answer is "not yet".


Well also, it doesn't run iOS so a jailbreak wouldn't be that interesting..


On the contrary, it would be a very interesting little platform to play with.

Just because it doesn't run iOS doesn't mean you couldn't write code for it :)
