It must be tradition, or an old charter, or something, that means any device must get an app store -- and Allerta won't argue with history. There's a new version of the hacker-friendly [inPulse Smartwatch](http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/18/inpulse-smartwatch-turns-programmable-and-it-can-almost-play-do/), a wrist-computer that pairs with (most) [BlackBerry](http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/inpulse-smartwatch-for-blackberry-wrist-on/) and (some) Android phones. This time around, you'll find beefier construction and any number of *watchapps* that include different watch faces and a presenter app that lets you control PowerPoint presentations as you pretend you're Bob from ReBoot. Android users with any Nexus ([Galaxy](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/24/galaxy-nexus-hspa-review/), [S](http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/10/nexus-s-review/), [One](http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/nexus-one-review/)), [Motorola](http://www.engadget.com/tag/motorola/) or [Cyanogen Mod](http://www.engadget.com/tag/cyanogen/)-cracked phone can pair the device to their blower -- HTC and Samsung use an incompatible Bluetooth stack, sadly. It's available from the inPulse store for $150 right now and we're sure you can think of someone who would want one for Christmas (*hint: it's us*).
