Default Swatch Pocket PC Phones arrives

When one of the most well-known consumer brand, Swatch, enters this market they do it with style... and power! Swatch will later this spring release a series of Swatch Pocket PC Phones. In true Swatch spirit, there will be different styles, color schemes etc to choose from! In fact, the coolest Swatch Pocket PC Phone accessory is the bracelet that makes it possible to actually wear the device as a watch, on the wrist.

They will all be built around the Pocket PC Phone Edition specification, but here comes the fun part: the Swatch Pocket PC Phones will use the 400 MHz Xscale processor!

As soon as Swatch releases more details, you'll be able to read about it here!



UPDATE: April Fools Day! :-)

That is one of the more amusing things of the day. Almost as good as one of my favorite web comics moving to french exclusively.

If you'd have just posted this and not the Symbian iPaq you might have fooled a few people for longer.

Nice work but you must think we're a pretty gullible bunch!

I emailed the link to my wife, she believed me, she used to work for Swatch, LOL, some of us ARE that gullible.

This is lamentable. I was really hoping Swatch was coming out with a nice-looking PPC phone with color faceplates!!!

Perhaps this joke isn't such a bad (or good) one, after all!? Maybe it is not so far fetched... :-)
