Anyone know what happened to the Atari watch?

[Doc4]

Remember that Atari/camera watch Casio and Infrogrames was working on? Where is it? Anyone know an info on this I really want one. There was a post on Atariage for it but no followup information or anything from that Japanese o any other website.

 

HMMMMMM

I think it'll be a while before we hear anything else regarding this watch. Who knows, it may never even get produced, as there's a good amount of electronics displayed at the CES shows that never sees the light of day. Or it may only get released in Japan, although that would be a shame given that Atari was an American company (was). If we hear anything else, we'll let everyone know.

Thanks, I hope to the almighty that we get it here. I would love to have it.!

It would be nice, although I'm not sure I'd want to walk around with such a huge watch on my wrist. I'd rather have a cell phone that can play Atari 2600 games. It's only a matter of time before someone creates a cell phone with enough horsepower and a nice color LCD screen that could emulate a 2600. After all, they've managed to port MAME and DOOM to digital cameras.

you can probably tape the cellphone on your wrist and it would still be smaller

 

i think they should make a small handheld with USB connections so that you can connect it to your pc/mac/whatever and just upload the roms you want ...

 

you can actually do that with those small notepads, they're just too expensive toys if you only need them for emulation ...

How big is the watch anyway? I thought it was normal size. I don't want a cell phone ghetto blaster hanging off my arm. Tell me it ain't so?
