Spike Lee's MSN Direct Movie, Featuring Fossil's Dick Tracy SPOT Watch and Music by NAS
"Today Microsoft will release "Secret Agent Man," a movie to promote MSN Direct, starring and directed by Spike Lee. The screening is invite only, with just a handful of people on the guest list. But why sit there wishing you could be there? SPOTstop.com has it for you now�enjoy! I�ll not ruin the story for you here, watch, enjoy and hit the forums to discuss. The film does require Windows Media Player..."
This movie is pretty cool, although none of that stuff happened to me when I put on my SPOT watch. :lol: Yes, I'll have a review of the SPOT watch coming up very soon...

I would probably buy one of these watches, but there's a BIG problem: no coverage in my town (Medford, OR). Oh well, I guess its a product for just you big city folks. Jason, is Canada covered?
Also, another question I haven't been able to answer, but are any SPOT watches waterproof at all? I know, I know, foolish to even ask, but I thought there's a chance.

I know they are cool gadets but I really fail to see the point...
I can do everything the spot watch can do with my mobile phone plus more. There isn't much for input on a spot watch.
Why would I want to pay another monthly fee to only duplicate services?
I would rather have one of those palm watch things.. or better yet one of those usb flash drive watches. They are not any bigger than a normal watch.
At least if i get one of those notifications on my mobile phone I can respond or investigate further.
now give me a phone watch with bluetooth for the head-set and connectivity for my PPC then we'll talk.

not the best of films - that's for sure...too long to make their point
I hope that MS opens things up a bit to allow more email to the watches and increase the business usage/factor of the watches - like I said many times before (in other posts) selling this strictly to commerical (non-business use) will kill this over the long haul. :frusty:
This has every potential to be a killer app - ditch the pager and let your watch receive the pages - increase the memory capabilty and add a USB dongle (kind like the BMW USB watch - very cool) and there you are:
a watch that can get pages, messages from anywhere (not just MSN Messenger) and can store/transfer files - WAAAY COOOl :drool:
I can see real use for something like that - but outside of the cool factor, this just isn't doing it for me yet. I'll wait for SPOT 2.0

A summary, for those of you who didn't waste your time watching the ad...
Number of women shown: 34
Shots of SPOT watch: 2
I can't believe that MSN would sink so low.

Hmm...actually it is sad that MSN would have a commercial like that...but remember it is a Spike Lee film... :roll:
I'm wondering when it'll get into the cool secret agent stuff...
