Video on Your Wrist

July 3rd, 2007

The future is coming at us slowly but surely. We still don’t have any flying cars, sassy robot maids, or triple-breasted alien skanks, but at least we’ve got some cool high-tech video wristwatches to play with until they arrive.

Video/Mp3 Watch

It offers 2 gigs of flash memory, enough to store a good chunk of your music library and maybe a few episodes of your favorite show to watch during downtime. But as the snafu-ridden PSP taught us, it’s probably best to show a little discretion and leave your porn at home. ($99.99 from ThinkGeek)

TV Watch

You won’t get HBO, Comedy Central, of even Skinamax, but you can at least watch any channel which you could pick up with rabbit ears. The LCD monitor offers 280×220 resolution, and the included headphones double as an antennae for improved reception. And hey, you can even use it to tell time. ($119.95 from Amazon)
