Real-Life Wrist Communicator Also Tells the Time, if You Care - New York Times: "The watch, to be available later this month, uses a wireless system created by Microsoft called MSN Direct that sends data over FM radio frequencies. For $179, you get the watch and a one-year subscription to the service, which includes news, weather, traffic information, stock quotes and movie listings. After that, an annual subscription will cost $40; for $20 more you can sync your Outlook calendar to the watch and receive instant messages through MSN Messenger."
