MSN Direct Wrist.NET
I just got a Fossil FX3001 Wrist.NET for MSN Direct Smart Watch. I signed up for 1-year of service through MSN Direct ($39.95 includes 3 months free at the end of the year). So far I like it - I went through the activation, and set it up to give me all the important data, like NFL scores for the Seattle Seahawks and the Houston Texans, as well as the word of the day, and breaking news.
I've received a couple breaking news alerts, and I really like that feature. I tested the MSN Instant Messenger capabilities to send a message to my watch. THe first message was received in about 30-minutes, but I was also busy receiving a bunch of other stuff. I sent two more messages late last night, but I never recieved them - they are lost in cyberspace somewhere.
As time progresses, I'll let you know how I like it. I've already set it up to know to switch to the Las Vegas region from Oct 6-9 while I am at ASP.NET Connections. We'll see how it goes.
