30 Ok no inline-html. Good boy..

32 Well as for fitting on your wrist might be a problem as you would look
33 like a super-dork.. But I'm becoming rather fond recently of the
34 Hammer/Nail board. With the nail you can put a small tft on it. And the
35 vendor is extremely helpful.

40 one with a tft)

42 The OLED which they said is even eaiser than dealing with a tft

47 As for getting smaller. The only other choice is the picotux.. But
48 that's useless.

50 And if you want to know why you are going to look like a super dork..
51 Just look at the size of the wrist usage cases that exist out there..

56 If the hammer/nail fits your needs come talk to me. I'm trying to get
57 some small projects going around that device.

59 Good luck..
