It looks small in size, but the actual screen size (3.5") is good, it handles 30GB of data which is also very positive. The battery is rechargeable (duh) and for audio only it can play for 18 hours, if you're watching video the battery lifetime is reduced to 5 hours.

The launch date is September, and the price is $349. Good quality and not too expensive, good choice for people that are in need of a PMC.

Parvus has finally launched their wrist wearable computer. The  Linux or Windows CE based machine - depending on user preference  we assume - will operate over GPS, Bluetooth and WiFi.

Expect it  to appear on a battlefield near you in the sometime near future.
