Remember August 2009? It was a simpler time; a time before the nation had to worry that whatever was on the news was just the result of giving a 6-year old and his dastardly parents a big-ass balloon. Right around that time, word got out that RIM was cracking away at a Bluetooth watch for the BlackBerry line, only to disappear off the radar entirely – until today.
CrackBerry, proving their prowess amongst BlackBerry blogs, has verified that the project is as real as can be and brought the pudding to prove it. They’ve got not one, but two renders of the (surprisingly basic looking) device, along with a handful of details:
- It’s been designed from the ground up for BlackBerry compatability
- “Big, bright, and beautiful” OLED screen
- Primarily intended for showing incoming calls/messages
- Based on the filename of the leaked renders, it might be called the “inPulse”.
So what do you think – whether you’re a BlackBerry owner or not, would you rock a Bluetooth wrist accessory?
A handy (harhar) control would be awesome… for some of the apps on the iPhone.
Definitely. I’d buy/use this. My blackberry is always at my side but I certainly can’t always take it out to see what’s just come in. This would be something of daily use for me.
Kinda want one right now…
I want to get rid of my BlackBerry in favor of an Android device. So no. I would not.
Android version, anyone?
You better believe that I would wear that with pride. Seeing that the watch I wear now is from wal-mart, is gold, and cost 12 bucks I would have no shame in wearing this.
I would buy an Android version of that in two seconds. I’m all about the weird and clunky and retro watches.
You know what? That’s a really good idea.
Hey HTC…
I would hate to own that….
Blackberry is the only one worthy enough 2 make something like this…. Android will crash and apple would break too easily just like they’re products. Way to go RIM!!
I’ve waited all my life for something like this. Bring it on. God I hope it is a) real and b) good.
