Microsoft's SPOT watches will be late
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Watches equipped with Microsoft's Smart Personal Objects Technology (SPOT) will not be available until early next year, missing the holiday shopping season target. Microsoft and watchmakers Fossil of the U.S. and Suunto Oy of Finland only recently started a large test, too late to make the December gift-giving season. For the watches to be widely available around the holidays, they would have to be shipping to retailers in September, said Roger Gulrajani, director of SPOT at Microsoft.
