If you are in a situation where you need to keep track of your e-mails, phone calls or text messages, but cannot be caught with your BlackBerry out as you stare at the screen constantly, the inPulse for BlackBerry might be a wise investment. The smartwatch passes messages along to you about e-mails, phone calls, text messages and calendar reminders that you failed to see on your BlackBerry handset. You can even see a listing showing the names or phone numbers of recent callers, the title of e-mails that were sent to you, and the time and location of your next appointment. When a call comes in for your BlackBerry, the watch will vibrate and caller ID shows of the number of the person who disturbed your important meeting. You get the positives of staying connected via BlackBerry, but you get to have your hands free. The watch runs $149 and can be pre-ordered at freeupyourhands.com. No launch date has been revealed. As we told you when we last wrote about this device in January, the inPulse is not a phone, but is basically an extension of your handset.
