Microsoft showed off the newest additions to its growing Smart Personal Objects Technology initiative at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, including an updated line of SPOT-enabled watches and a wireless weather forecasting center with an information link through MSN Direct.

Watchmaker Fossil said it will ship this spring the latest version of its Abacus-brand smart watches. The new watches will feature twice as much storage as before, improved battery life, and faster performance.
