Yup, but we've got Bluetooth, a fantastic OLED screen, and example Python, Android, Blackberry code! Also, we're right here on HN to answer your questions!
Ok first question: Why only one button? Two would have been really nice for most things (like back and forward in powerpoint/itunes). Edit: Another one: Why don't you ship outside the US/Canada? I considered buying one, but I'm in Germany :(
For comparison: Texas Instruments sell something called the EZ430 Chronos watch, which has a much lower-res display, a proprietary RF protocol with a USB transceiver, and a bunch more sensors including 3-axis accelerometers, pressure and temperature. It is based on the MSP430 microprocessor which is much less powerful than this thing, its capped at 16mhz or something IIRC and only has around 8K of program space. It i…

Indeed. They are very different propositions. Hence I said "for comparison" :)

(I'd love an accelerometer - sure you guys are well aware of the possibilities)
Give it more buttons and I'll buy it.
