Anyone got a mirror of the contents? It requires me to log into Google before I can read the post.

One of the more fun gadgets I've been playing with lately is the inPulse smartwatch. It can silently buzz when you get a new email and show a preview of your email. It's has an API that works with many Android and Blackberry phones, so you can program your own custom apps to do things like move forward in a PowerPoint presentation or show stock quotes. It's pretty geeky, but in a very space-age way. I can see a lot of people wearing watches like this in a few years.

Can someone post the text of this article here, for those of us on mobile phones who don't want to log in, or don't have Google accounts? Thanks

edit: already posted. Odd that a public G+ post is not visible from a mobile device without logging into Google.

without logging into Google and creating a public profile if you don’t have one.

I already have my phone in my pocket and I expect it to do all the things mentioned (via interacting directly).

I don't have a phone in my pocket because I hate carrying it. But I do have a wristwatch. If modern smart-phones, and all the things they do, can be turned into wristwatches - great! Then I will have one.

There are three or four watches out, and probably more in the planning phase. InPulse, WIMM (http://www.wimm.com/platform-concepts.html) are the two that spring to mind...anyone have any idea which is better in terms of battery life, small size, expandability?

Edit: Sony SmartWatch should be coming soon, too (http://androidandme.com/2012/01/news/hands-on-with-the-sony-...).
