So, with wireless you can get a message AT ANY TIME, ANYWHERE.
That's the promise anyway, but we know that's not really true. You cannot, for example, get an email in the shower. I used to think you could not get an email while jogging either. But you can! A friend sent me a notice for a watch that has an email interface. Naturally, it's one-way (the battery would not last too long if it was two way!), but with Yahoo! web alerts that's pretty good. I was thinking, as I was jogging down a local trail in the morning, that I needed to know that the jobless rate had gone up during the last quarter. I'm lucky to have run over to Sears and purchased one of these fine timepieces for $100. The accuracy is incredible since it is essentially network time. When you go to another time zone, the watch automatically detects that and changes for you. And, you can re-route the email address, as I did, so that you can get email at an easy-to-remember address.
