inPulse Bluetooth Watch for BlackBerry Available for Pre-order inPulse Watch Available for $149; Shipping to Begin in February 2010

That s right BlackBerry lovers, after we ve seen the Storm 2 officially
unveiled by Verizon Wireless and after we ve showed you that a new
BlackBerry OS is coming your way, we have one more piece of news related
to RIM phones. Allerta, a Waterloo-based company, has a totally new
gadget, a Bluetooth watch for the BlackBerry, the inPulse.

The new device is going to be available to the masses only in February
2010 but that doesn t mean you can t pre-order it right now. The inPulse
is a Bluetooth watch designed to work perfectly with your BlackBerry
smartphone. Don t get me wrong, it s not a watchphone as it won t be
able to do everything your Berry can. But it will be able to connect via
Bluetooth to your smartphone and retrieve precious information from it.

Besides Bluetooth connectivity the inPulse comes with a 1.3-inch OLED
display which can display SMS and MMS messages, emails, incoming call
details or alarms. That way you won t have to look for the smartphone
all the time. The gadget could definitely be useful if you happen to sit
through long classes, meetings or boring movies.

But do we really want a gadget with a screen so small? We keep asking
for bigger, better touchscreen displays for our phones so why should we
bother our eyes with a 1.3-inch screen that can only reveal so many
lines of text at any time? Are we that lazy that we d rather check out a
watch instead of reaching for the actual BlackBerry to read mail and
messages? I won t even be mentioning driving around and reading messages
from a watch because it might just sound too scary!

This smart watch will is available for pre-order for just $149. What do
you say? Is that a fair price to begin with? How much would you willing
to pay for it? I will remind you that LG actually has a watchphone which
is certainly more expensive than the inPulse.
