Calling all hackers! Come out to the Hacker Dojo in Mountain View, CA on April 17 for an inPulse hackathon. If you've already got an inPulse watch, that's awesome - bring it along! If not, we'll be supplying some watches to hack on. The hackathon will start at 11a and go until 9p. We'll be providing a mid-afternoon BBQ, wifi and watches. At the end of the evening, we'll organize a little demo session where you can show off your creations.
Paul Graham, from Y Combinator, has generously offered to drop by at the end to check out the entries.

inPulse is a hackable Bluetooth wristwatch. Visit www.getinPulse.com. inPulse has a colour 96x128 pix OLED display, Bluetooth chipset and a vibrating motor. We've launched an open SDK so you can write your own apps. inPulse can even be connected via Bluetooth with smartphones like Android, Blackberry and jailbroken iPhones.
Watch apps can be anything from custom watchfaces, to single-button games, or even internet-connected data displays. We've published example apps at www.getinPulse.com/apps, and there's a healthy watch-hacking community going over at forum.getinPulse.com.
If you want to get started creating watchapps, download the inPulse simulator and start hacking right away. Be sure to check out the inPulse forum.getinPulse.com as well!
