RIP: Microsoft discontinues SPOT Smart Watches - MSN Direct to Continue

Published: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 17:34:06 +0200

In
a
recent forum posting, Jon Canan, program manager of Microsoft
MSN Direct
unveiled, that the SPOT
Smart Watches
with MSN Direct have sold out and Microsoft/Fossil have no further plans to
continue the 2006 Smart Watch series. While Microsoft plans to continue to move
forward with MSN Direct and seeking out new opportunities for devices that would
benefit from the MSN Direct service (like the recently released

MSN Direct service for Windows Mobile smartphones or GPS devices), Microsoft
has, along with its watch partners, no immediate plans to create a new version
of the Smart Watch.
