Watch your watch

Didn't know if any one had noticed these things yet, but I think they are sooooooooooo cool (despite the lack of backlighting). Unfortunately they do not have built in mini jacks for A/V so they are no use for portables. But if some one where to figure out how to get composite of those teeny tiny boards then could you imagin the size portables we could make?! Maybe even NOAC in a altoids case :shock: any way no matter how much I tell my self not to buy it I know eventualy I will get one because there just so geeky :lol: :wink:.


BTW does any one remember the Seiko tv wristwatch from the 80's. It appeared in some Bond movie (of course they just so happened to forget to mention that the real thing was in black and white and not color).
Any way it had a tuner/battery unit that you had to put in to your pocket walkman style and you watched it on the watch. Here is a review of the modern one that also includes som history on the 80's one.

is it wrong of me to wonder why they made it a uhf/vhf tv (useless) when instead they could have made wristwatch videophone...

come on, if they could do the TV, cellular video phone isn't too far off. and then I could play dick tracy

Still, if you could get an AV input on that, you could use one of those NOACs and just use the built in games. That would be sweet, though you might have a hard time seeing your wrist…
