Fossil / Abacus Wrist PDA with Palm OS
 
  Ever since the comic book hero Dick Tracy first strapped on his amazing wrist radio six decades ago, science fiction fans have eagerly anticipated the day when such fantastic gadgetry might become reality.
 
  Now, thanks to the Wrist PDA with PALM OS, their wait is finally over. As the brain of most handheld devices and smart phones, PALM OS has enabled the mobile-minded to extend their life well beyond the desktop.
 
  Now, with the new Wrist PDA by ABACUS, you can take that life even further. The Wrist PDA represents the ultimate in personal data portability, delivering the power and functionality of the familiar PALM OS in an ultra-small, ultra-stylish package. So you can go where no one has gone before–and take it all with you.
 
  Around January 2005 these sold for about US $250, in January of 2006 i bought mine (Abacus AU5005) at Wal-Mart for US $29. As of January 2006 the Fossil Wrist PDA watch FX2008 and FX2009 are now selling for $79.00 on Fossil.com (Feb 1, 2006) They seem to have disappeared now.
