Eurotech has released more information about the wrist-worn PC I wrote about here. That makes it the first full featured computer you can wear everywhere. Think about your notebook - nothing to take lightly over the day. This PC weighs just seven ounces (or 200 grams).

The operating system is Windows CE or Linux. The WWPC is based on an AMD AU 1100 (MIPS) processor, with an Intel XScale-based version under development. It boots from 32MB of flash, and has 64MB of SDRAM. Storage can be expanded through an SD-card slot supporting cards up to 1GB.

It includes some wearable-specific innovations like a patented orientation sensor that can be configured to induce standby when the user's arm drops. Additionally, the device's tilt sensor can be used to detect motionless operator states, while a built-in GPS receiver and "dead reckoning" technology enable the device to serve as a location-transmitting beacon.

Other features I haven't mentioned yet:

* Direct-access keypad
* L1 16-channel GPS receiver with active helix antenna
* IrDA (up to 4Mbps)
* Bluetooth v1.1 (up to 721 Kbps)
* LAN 802.11b (up to 11Mbps) with "hardware coexistence handshake"
* Specific internal antennas
* Supports "different configurable audio/video user interfaces"

The PC will ship in June and pricing will be around $2,000 according to Eurotech. Eurotech was founded in 1992 by Italian physicistlinks Roberto Siagri. Eurotech Bloomberg Chart
