With Microsoft killing the spot watch, it's good news to that Oregon Scientific is putting out a weather watch in it's place. The Meteo Watch will debut next month at about $80, and feature a non-wireless weather forecast from the built in barometer. The watch tracks the weather by measuring barometric pressure trends, and features a reverse LCD display and stopwatch function. Four easy-to-read icons (sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, and rainy) display the upcoming weather conditions in the next 12 to 24 hours.

• Weather forecast using 4 weather icons: sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy and rainy
• Stopwatch function up to 60 hours
• Digital Clock, calendar and alarm functions Backlight function for easy viewing in low light conditions

Microsoft Drops SPOT Weather Watch Project

Microsoft is quietly pulling the plug on their SPOT weather watch and MSDN project. What are you losing? The SPOT Watch aimed at providing real-time weather and schedule updates to the wrists of the weather obsessed everywhere. The technology will no longer be built into any new watches, and the most recent examples have sold out across the web.

Bummer. We really liked this service and we think it was perfect for watches. Hopefully someone else will build this into a watch or provide a similar service in the future.

Flossie bears down on Hawaii as Dean forms in Atlantic

As we've said in the past - it's hurricane season and they've just spotted two big ones - Flossie and Dean. Good luck to all involved - we'll be watching.

Hurricane Flossie inched closer to Hawaii on Tuesday, bringing with it 110 mph winds, pounding surf, potential floods and prompting state officials to declare a state of emergency for the Big Island.

On the opposite side of North America, Tropical Storm Dean formed in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and is expected to become the first Atlantic hurricane of the season as it swirls toward the Lesser Antilles and Puerto Rico. Dean is expected to reach hurricane status later this week.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Flossie was moving at 13 mph west-northwest through the Pacific Ocean at about 5 a.m. (11 a.m. ET) Tuesday, according to the Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu.
