"Remember the inPulse Smart Watch we showed you a few months ago? Now, inPulse lead designer Eric Migicovsky has created an app that lets you use the watch to check into Facebook Places with just a few taps. \nThe inPulse watch uses Bluetooth to communicate with either a BlackBerry or Android smartphone, and in this case, it uses the phone's 3G connection to hook you up with Facebook Places (will there be a tethering fee?). \nAs you can see in the video above, this clever app uses GPS and map data from the smartphone, locating nearby establishments, and as soon as you choose your current location, you're checked in.\nThe long-awaited app-running inPulse Smart Watch ($149, $199 in black) has been talked-about and anticipated since last summer, but now it's said to be available for pre-order, and a quick peek at the inPulse website uncovers claims of watches shipping in \"16 to 30 days.\" Let's hope this Facebook Places app will be available soon after the watch actually ships. \nWatches that run apps: Is this a peek into the future? How about it, commenters? Could something this small replace the smartphone?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
