The inPulse Smartwatch is the first BlackBerry accessory of its kind. Manufactured by Allerta in Waterloo, Ontario, it allows the wearer to get hands free messages and alerts from the user's BlackBerry Smartphone. It connects wirelessly through the use of Bluetooth technology and can receive calls, SMS messages and emails.

The inPulse is strictly for viewing the data received to the BlackBerry it is paired with. Messages cannot be replied to or composed using the device, although other functions may be added in the future.http://www.getinpulse.com/faq.php

It is charged via a micro-USB jack, and displaying 20-30 updates per day the rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery is estimated to last for up to four days. http://www.getinpulse.com/faq.php

This is the first BlackBerry Accessory of this kind, although it is similar to the MSN Direct SPOT watch. The SPOT watch needed a monthly subscription in addition to the watch itself, which the inPulse does away with by using Bluetooth functionality.

The inPulse Smartwatch was announced officially October 26, 2009, and is currently only available for pre-order, in waiting list fashion. The list price is $149, though no payments are being taken at this time.http://www.getinpulse.com/buy.php It is estimated that the inPulse will begin to ship in Februrary 2010, and will only be available to customers in the United States and Canada.http://www.getinpulse.com/faq.php

In December 2009, it was announced on the Allerta inPulse blog that the first batch of watches is spoken for, and they are now taking orders for the second batch due out in April 2010.http://inpulse.tumblr.com/post/287578074/first-batch-has-been-spoken-for
