 | | With Linux rapidly becoming an industry standard, it's important that developers be able to create new applications across all platforms, including pervasive devices, and the intent of IBM's research is to further that work. |
 | | Designed to communicate wirelessly with PCs, cell phones and other wireless-enabled devices, the "smart watch" will have the ability to view condensed email messages and directly receive pager-like messages. |
