BUILD IDEA: Wrist Mounted Computer

RovertScott
RovertScott over 12 years ago

There are so many tablets in the market, yet I have not found one that was practical for my needs.

I want something with the convenience and availability as looking down at your watch, with the most essentail of apps.

 

Hence I was looking at the Wearable Wrist Mounted PC... except for the fact that aside from Sci-Fi, none really exist in the consumer market.

 

Wrist Mounted Computer

1. A sleek and elegent Audrino or Rasberry Pi (not sure which is better for the task) that can be strapped to your wrist.

2. Touch LCD Screen with stylus.

3. Programmable Quick Luanch App Buttons.

4. Navigation Buttons / wheels for when in situations that would make the touch screen inconvenient.

5. Wi-Fi capable for checking Email and/or browsing the web.

6. 32GB of onboard memory that can be acessed via USB interface.

7. The ability to read any and all stored documents or files.

8. Intigrated Analog Timepiece (because it is functional even when the screen is in power save mode and it makes it stylish)

 

Great for mechanics, engineers, and anyone who hates dropping their iPhone or tablet.

    So it wouldn't matter much what model Android phone I buy to do this? I'm looking at a Galaxy SII.
