That person on the bus may not be late for his appointment after all. SMS Technology Australia has started production on its M500 line of GSM watches. The M500 is a classy looking square faced watch that runs on quad mode GSM technology. It features a 1.5 inch color touch screen, 128 MB of memory for contacts and files, and full sms support. While it does play MP3/AAC and MP4 video, my strong suspicion is these are use with contact identifying queues.

Recently I retired my iPAQ 3765 in favor of what I hoped to be a Toshiba e805 PDA. Very nice indeed as I have seen a colleague with his. This PDA was exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, due to some rather unconstructive complaining by customers and a rant for another time, Toshiba is no longer making the PDA available. As such I went for the second best thing. An Axim x50v from Dell, which while very nice on the surface has a single if somewhat less then fatal flaw.
