It is equipped with a touch screen interface, a mini keyboard and provides a 320 x 240 pixels resolution.

Dislikes
Prices range around 2000 USD mark for the WL 1000 and its offspring, the WL 1100. It a relatively high price point, but it is not that unreasonable, given just how much advanced technology this thing packs. Not much else not to dislike, but don’t expect this puppy to replace your netbook or office pc anytime yet. The watch may be a bit too go go gadget and too chunky for the more fashion conscious geeks out there.
