$5200 USD if this is correct (http://www.pressdigital.com.au/industrial-wearable-pdas-heads-display/zypad-wr1100-milspec-ip67-rugged-wearable-with-coming-soon-p-5294.html). If it was $1500 I'd buy one.

Looks like the Parvus wrist computer (http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/26/wwpc-gets-real-with-zypad-wl-1000/) we last saw almost three years ago has received an upgrade. The Zypad WR1100 is a 3.5-inch color touchscreen device aimed at the defense industries, soldiers of fortune (who, surprisingly enough, make a large part of our readership), futuristic Boy Scouts, and anyone else who needs a Linux device strapped to their wrist. Aside from a high strength / low weight fiberglass-reinforced nylon-magnesium alloy housing designed to take a licking in the field, this wrist-worn bad boy rocks 256MB memory, 128MB flash storage, various connectivity options (including WiFi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee), a GPS, a compass, biometric fingerprint sensor, and an accelerometer that puts the system in standby when the arm is hanging down beside the body. Let us take a moment to ponder the irony of the inevitable Quake mod (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Quake,mod/) this device will certainly see at some point in the near future. http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/4207/090312wristputer01.jpg

If I was a soldier, sure, I'd have one. I wouldn't be caught DEAD in public with that hunk of plastic shit on my wrist :eek:

I'd def. buy one if I was on my feet for many miles, like taking photos or something. Satellite maps, GPS, perhaps the occasional game and listen to music... hell yes. Anytime I buy a media player it has to have a decent size screen + photo viewing + WiFi access. That this thing fits on your arm is awesome.

I sold my Mylo. All I have is an iRiver clix which doesn't do Wifi or big enough for satellite maps. :p
