Chris, I think you and I are trying to accomplish different goals. I want to be able to glance up and see (exactly) what time it is. It's just a glorified wall clock that's always on and displaying a time. The health information is just to validate the time.
I do have an iPad. Yes, the same device can check time and email, but I'd have to switch between apps to do that which requires several button presses and clicks. I'd rather leave my email up and just glance at the clock. Also, I don't think I'd do all this work just to get time on the iPad. I'd just use the Emerald-Sequoia NTP app :-) On Mon, Nov 28, 2011 at 5:12 PM, Chris Albertson <[email protected]>wrote: > On Sun, Nov 27, 2011 at 8:00 PM, Justin Pinnix <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Sounds like a good idea for a modern handheld, but the relics we are > > talking about don't have WiFi or any means of networking except for > serial > > > It's 2011, almost 2012.
