Hi,

There is an interesting article on MSN regarding an MP4 watch. There is also a link to a Japanes website selling it for $150.

http://technology.sympatico.msn.ca/Watching+my+watch+watching+movies/Wasabi/Articles/mp4_watch.htm?isfa=1

The watch is ugly in my mind but it sort of shows the future of having your watch, MP3/4 player together. Its also a digital photo viewer.

I am not suggesting this as a great deal but I think its pretty clever idea and I think we will see this technology/electronic gimmick evolving in the very near future. I can see the merits of having a watch, video player, photo viewer and add the functionality of a USB key for electronic data transfer and its pretty useful If they can add the built in TV remote control that I saw a couple of years ago on a different watch, it would be beautiful!!!!

Wrong forum.

You can get these for less than 1/2 that price at www.geeks.com - I posted about them a few months ago. Not much interest however.

There now it's a deal thread.

For those looking the blue model with the white dots actually has higher specs than the other versions on the site.

This is MP4 - not MP3. Meaning it does video, photo and MP3. There's also a black version that looks the same as the orange. Both still have inferior specs compared to the blue/white dot faceplate model.
