inPulse: BlackBerry-Connected Smartwatch available for pre-order

Last week it was leaked that a small Waterloo-based company was going to release a BlackBerry watch called “inPulse”. Today, to coincide with the Ontario ban of hand-held devices while driving, Allerta has announced that inPulse is available for pre-order at $149.00 USD.

Allerta describes the display-only Smartwatch as “inPulse is the perfect BlackBerry smartphone accessory – it’s a watch that connects wirelessly to your phone by Bluetooth, instantly alerting you of incoming emails, SMS and calls. inPulse extends the functionality of your BlackBerry smartphone, so when you’re in a pinch you can check your inPulse instead of fumbling around with your phone.”

Here are the specs/features:

• 1.3″ full colour organic light-emitting-diode (OLED) display
• Bluetooth v2.0+EDR
• 150 mAh lithium-ion polymer battery
• Glass lens and full metal body
• 22mm interchangeable wrist band
• Vibrating motor
• Micro-USB port (for charging)
• Over-the-air firmware updates
• Dimensions: 51mm height x 38mm width x 12mm depth
• Charging is also very quick and usually takes less than 30 minutes.
• Battery should last approximately 4 days
• designed to withstand mild splashes (from washing hands, rain, etc)
• Supports BlackBerry smartphone with OS 4.3 and above

If you are going to get one, this is only available on a pre-order basis in USA and Canada. In addition, inPulse is entering the final stages of production and should be ready to ship by February 2010.
