Microsoft recently announced that they will be allowing users to track movie times on their MSN Smart Watches. According to CNET, Microsoft will be adding a movie channel as early as Monday which will allow MSN Direct subscribers to track movie times at up to 10 local theatres in their area.
MSN Direct Subscribers can already access the following information on their watches: News, Weather, Sports scores, Stock Quotes, Daily Diversions, Horoscopes, Lottery, Downloadable Watch Faces as well as the ability to receive (but not send) MSN Messenger text messages and sych your calendar/appointments from Microsoft Outlook to your watch.
I've been using the service on my Abacus Smart Watch for nearly 2 months and am really enjoying it. I can keep track of current weather (current and 3 day forecast) and keep track of a few stock choice stock symbols and receive news updates. The biggest downside of the watch (in my opinion) is that they are rediculously large (although I have very "svelte" wrists), and the fact that you have to pay a monthly/yearly fee for the service). Although you do get quite a bit of information delivered to you, and typically only the information that you want, $10 USD per month is a bit steep. Of course, the yearly rate is much easier to swallow, but can still add up if you want to add the Personal Messaging via MSN Messenger and the ability to add Outlook calendar support.
