Eurotech has oficially unveiled yesterday ZYPAD, the wrist-worn pc with integrated GPS that we have talked about in a previous post. This new device weight 290 grams and is worn at the wrist. The idea behind this unique GPS enabled PC is to leave the hands free according to Roberto Siagri, Eurotech’s president. Eurotech also claims that they have managed to deal with power consumption very efficiantly by using an accelerometer that will detect when the user’s arm hangs down beside the body and placing the device in standby mode.
