Nukem Forever of wrist computers, is now taking orders and
seemingly even shipping the FX2008
Wrist PDA on their website.
(Not to diminish their popular Wrist
Net Smart Watches but computers on your wrist should be

Powered by a 66Mhz Dragonball with a 160×160 screen resolution, 8MB of
memory, a diminutive stylus and PalmOS 4.1, many existing Palm

amazing news, not only can you still buy a OnHandPC, but new software is in the

(The OnHandPC guys are among the shocked at Fossil’s
announcement.)
Users of either platform will take comfort in the fact that both
Ruputer and Fossil platforms have 3-finger salute equivalents for those
inevitable grey screens.
