AllLinuxDevices: Citizen Watch and IBM Research announce research collaboration on Linux

“Citizen Watch and IBM Research today announced that
they have started the research collaboration on Linux Watch
technology and jointly developed their first prototype, called
“WatchPad” to further explore a new type of personal information
access devices for the pervasive computing era.

IBM Research first demonstrated the Linux Watch last year,
illustrating the viability of the operating system across all
platforms, from large enterprise servers, to medium-sized and small
servers, workstations, desktop systems, laptops and the smallest
intelligent devices.

Citizen Watch is the first company that decided to work with IBM
Research to enhance current features and develop new application
technologies for the intelligent watch. Citizen Watch will explore
the possibility of commercializing next generation watches as
communication devices in the future. IBM Research will support
Citizen Watch with its expertise in hardware and software,
including system design, low power architecture, reliable and
flexible IT infrastructure for future pervasive computing and
communication applications.”
