Seiko has developed a wristwatch using E Ink's electrophoretic paper technology and presented a prototype at the BASELWORLD 2005 exhibit in Switzerland. The watch, which not only displays the current time but also a constantly-altering mosaic pattern, is supposed to be launched in Japan within FY2005.
I cannot believe they are putting this wonderful technology into a watch. While we are still waiting for a decent e-book hardware reader, these people are only thinking of watches. Grrrrr.
