So it's basically a month or so after the prototype phase, what's the progress? I see some nice photoshop mock-ups, but where's the tech demo. I can say from personal experience, the heart-rate monitoring from the wrist is very difficult - bloodflow noise (generally a low SNR), bad data (constant movement or loose connection), and beefy processing (for a wristwatch at least) to get anything better than guessing.

some good points there; the tech demo is currently using a flexible eink display powered with a beagleboard. Heart rate monitor is difficult and we are licensing the software that optimises down to everybeat for athletic applications.It's an attempt, should make a lot of progress.
