Citizen i:VIRT Bluetooth Watch
Tuesday, June 13th, 2006
First there was a camera, a phone, a PDA and an MP3 player. Nowadays you can find all that was mentioned bundled into one device. Anyone who can afford one can walk around literally carrying his office in his pants. But you still glance at your trusty ol’ [tag]wrist watch[/tag] for the time, don’t you?
The [tag]Citizen[/tag] i:VIRT kinda bundles the wristwatch along with your state-of-the-art camera-phone-PDA-MP3 player thingy. Kinda bundles because the [tag]Citizen i:VIRT[/tag] is still a seperate wrist watch unit. So how does it link with your uber gadget? Bluetooth, of course.
The i:VIRT is capable of hooking up with your [tag]bluetooth[/tag] enabled phone and will act as the first line of call notification. Yes, there is the vibration thingy that the mobile phones do so well nowadays but now you can completely keep the phone on silent mode and rely on your trusty ol’ wristwatch!
The Citizen i:VIRT will alert you to incoming calls via vibration and flashing lights (which I am sure are configurable) and then flash up the caller ID on the watch display. If you have a headset unit, then you may never need to take you phone out of your pocket!
The i:VIRT comes with rechargeable batteries that lasts about 5 days. Recharging is contactless - like the modern shavers and tootbrushes - so it is just a matter of setting the watch down on it’s receptacle to keep the juice flowing.
Another cool feature of the i:VIRT is that it keeps track of your mobile phones’ whereabouts! Okay, that statement can be a bit misleading - the watch doesn’t really know where your mobile phone is - it only knows if your phone is not there. If you accidentally leave your phone behind, the i:VIRT will notify you that your mobile phone is missing once you are out of contact range between phone and watch.
Oh… and it also tells the time - just like a wrist watch should!
