iPods have made it possible to watch videos, and listen to your music while your on the go. Sanyo has recently developed a watch that will allow you to do the same thing. A watch?
The small wristwatch will allow you watch mp4 video’s, and listen to audio files all from the convenience of your wrist. Pretty crazy. The watch has a battery power of up to 4 hours for video and 7 hours for audio.
The watch is currently not available for purchase in the US, and I have to say, if it was I don’t know that I would ever even consider purchasing one. I’ve always been pretty big on purchasing the newest and neatest gadgets when they become available, but I really can’t get into the iPod and now watch video phenomenon. I can not think of anywhere that I would need to watch a video clip, or worse yet, and entire movie, on the small screen of my iPod.
How many of you have purchase an iPod or other travel device with video capabilities?
I can understand portable DVD players. Portable DVD players are great for long car trips, or airplane rides when you need something to entertain you. To watch a video on a portable DVD player you just have to bring along a disc, and put in the player. With things like this watch, and the video iPods, you have to download the video first onto your computer, and then onto the device itself. That’s a lot of effort to watch a movie.
I’ve tried to get into this craze, but I really can’t. The screens are too small to really relax and enjoy watching what you’ve downloaded onto them. It’s way too much work, for way too little reward. Maybe I’m just lazy.
