Ooh, exciting news for folks in Europe. Arne Hess writes:

"On Möbius conference, which is currently hold in Seattle, Microsoft confirmed that the SPOT concept is coming to some countries in Europe as well, at least Microsoft is negotiating the possibilities to launch the service in several countries including Germany, Austria and Italy."

That would be good news indeed. Of course, it seems simple, and yet I'm sure that negotiating with all the regulatory bodies, radio stations, and media companies across various countries is probably a daunting task. I'll be curious to see whether "roaming" from country to country with your SPOT watch will be as seamless as traveling across the United States, or if further settings (or even fees) will be involved. I definitely have my fingers crossed for a "global" smart watch.
