BlackBerry Bluetooth watch is wristy business! Want to check emails and texts on your wrist? RIM's got the answer

The gadget du jour for mobile makers are definitely watches. But unlike the LG and Samsung watch phones, RIM – those purveyors of awesome business phones – have announced that they will be unveiling a Bluetooth watch that can snag features from your BlackBerry mobile and stick them on your wrist clock!

The news that BlackBerry will be releasing the Bluetooth watch comes direct from RIM’s very own vice president of accessories, Antoine Boucher. Apparently Boucher has confirmed that the Bluetooth wirst watch will allow you to check texts, emails, Facebook messages and even Tweets on the watch’s screen without needing to pull your Blackberry handset out your pocket.

That’s not all, though. Apparently a new RIM headset will be coming as well – the Alpha 1 – which sports noise-reduction technology and will be available in a stylish black chrome shell. Now all we’re waiting for is the BlackBerry endorsed jackets and hats and we’ll be all set!
