Will.i.am's Puls wristband has its own 3G, support from AT&T

Is this watch bluetooth capable? It would be awkward walking around with ear buds plugged into a watch. You would need wireless ones. And it's on AT&T. Next question is software updates? Yeah, no thanks Will!

So you would need another voice/data plan to have that along with your cell phone? Keep it. My monthly bill is already out of control!

I bet 3G drains the heck out of the battery if you lose reception.

The article is a bit misleading (on purpose, most likely).

This isn't officially on AT&T's roadmap,not ATM anyway.

It's just 3G capable, as a lot of phones are & will work on AT&T.

I'm also guessing the handful of prototypes is all that will see the light of day.

This guy's introduced various other items that have never went into production.

So it's an Android smart-watch with a cellular radio built-in and takes a SIM. We've actually had those kind of things for a while actually.

Although the $80 ones tend to be rather crummy, I was playing with one at the local Apple Store.
