Fossil Dropped PALM OS PDA Wristwatch Price to $79
The Fossil Wrist PDA watch FX2009 and FX2008 are now selling for a low $79.00 on Fossil.com.
Not even a year ago when we reviewed the Fossil Palm OS powered wrist watch
it sold for $249. This is quite a drop in price. I do not think this is driven by the huge numbers Fossil sold of the Palm OS watch. Looks more like a clearance. Anyway, I think this is
now the cheapest Palm PDA
on the market. It is also the smallest.

Fossil Wrist PDA now only $199.99
|
Amazon.com is selling the Fossil FX2008 Palm OS Wrist PDA for $199.99. That is $50 less than Fossil charged for it on Fossil.com.
Looks like Fossil made friends again with Amazon. Amazon was already taking orders of the first Fossil Wrist PDA years ago, which then did not get shipped. Amazon sure was not too happy about it. Fossil.com is not shipping the Wrist PDA right now. Maybe Amazon has all the inventory right now. More details on the Palm OS Wristwatch in our Fossil FX2008 Wrist PDA Review. Buy the Fossil Wrist PDA now for $199.99. |

Fossil Wrist PDA Review: Is this a toothpick?
|
I met Fossil at the
CES 2005 in Las Vegas to get a first look at the Palm OS powered
Wristwatch. I was following Fossil's Wrist PDA since they
announced their first
attempt in November 2002. It was an amazingly cool gadget back then. Fossil canceled that model in 2003 and it never went on sale. Since January 2005 Fossil is selling the Palm OS PDA watch. Read the review to find out if the Fossil Wrist PDA is still a cool gadget or just an interesting way to carry a toothpick around as our I4U Gadget Model Christine found out (see photo).

Fossil Palm OS Wrist PDA FX2008 Review
FossilWristPDA has maybe the first review of the Fossil Palm OS Wrist PDA that was launched at this years CES and is already available at Fossil.
Quote:
"I believe it is nearly unnecessary to tell you that this watch isn’t small. However, to say that this watch is huge is not really true. The watch is big but thanks to the sleek design by Fossil, this watch has a very nice professional touch unlike many other similar watches.
The fact that this watch is using a Palm OS is without any doubt a big plus. Since it is very easy to adjust existing Palm applications to work with the rocker switch, I’m convinced we’ll see more and more applications work smoothly on this wrist pda watch.

We had the scoop that Fossil will introduce their new attempt on a Palm OS powered wristwatch at the CES 2005 already in November (unfortunatly we had to take it down).
Yesterday I held the Fossil Wrist PDA in my hands at the Digital Experience! show and Fossil also issued a official press-release. The new Fossil Wrist PDA features 8MB memory. The screen is a greyscale LCD with 160x160 pixels. The screen is of course a touch screen like on a real Palm. The mini-stylus is integrated in the wristband clasp. The Wrist PDA also has infra-red and USB connectivity. The battery lasts approx. for 3 to 4 days. The PDA Watch runs Palm OS 4.1 on a Dragonball Super VZ 66Mhz CPU.
