Sounds like a good solution, esp. if it handles flipping the character
recognition.

I've found as long as two palm devices are held reasonable steady
they can exchange info via infrared.  Or with the right cable it
could connect to one of those serial keyboards.

The watch mainly seemed to me to be a stealth display/input device
with the downside that it might not be continously connected.  The
battery life seemed to indicate it wouldn't make it through the day
if it was constantly beaming or using the serial port.

I'm beginning to think everything involving wearables eventually
gets back to (lack of) battery life.
