Linux watch counts down to launch
11 March 2002
Submitted By: Mark McCall
"WatchPad 1.5 features a pager-like application for sending and
receiving
short messages. It also has Bluetooth and infrared connectivity for
connection to a notebook PC, and a fingerprint sensor for user -- or
wearer -- authentication. Linux 2.4 runs on a 32-bit RISC processor, the
frequency of which varies from 74MHz to 18MHz to help save power. By
tinkering with Linux, IBM has reduced the amount of memory required to run
the OS. In turn, this has helped increase the battery life to six hours.
IBM
has predicted all-day battery life will appear in a year or so."
