It is also a battery to charge your ipod or cell phone you wear around your wrist. More of us are not wearing watches on our wrists any longer thanks to always being around technology. Your computer tells the time. Your mobile phone tells the time. Your iPod tells the time. Do you really still need to wear a device that only tells the time around your wrist?

Why not replace your watch with this wristband that acts as a battery for when your phone or MP3 device battery goes flat? Simply plug your phone into the wrist band via the connector (comes with seven different types of phone power connectors) and use your wrist band as a battery. (via)

Like everything else, made in China.

Somehow i don’t see this taking off so well…

What would be really cool if there were portable public recharge stations for well known devices such as iPods, iPhones etc etc… they have something similar JFK.

You raise a really good point about people no longer needing to depend on a watch for the time.

About 6 months ago, my watch broke and I went on a quest to find a new one, suffice to say, I only got a new one a couple of days ago and inbetween the period of having one and not having one, I always knew the time and always arrived on time, which just proves your point.

I think the hardest thing about a watch breaking or no longer being in action is learning not to have something around your wrist.

As far as this device goes, I’m spilt between yes and no. I think it’s an awesome idea, running out of “battery” life is more annoying than anything, but this one specifically, I’m not too sure I would go for it.

Living in a technology era with huge money and power behind releasing new technology, I would hope for something which would charge batteries Wifi-style. Imagine there was a device you could clip onto your mobile, which powered batteries, or a wrist cuff which could do what this gadget does, but wireless – that would be cutting edge in my opinion.

As far as what we want to read.. how about starting with publishing posts more frequently, at least so there’s a reason to subscribe or come back. You have vanished out of the blogsphere to an extent, nobody knows what you’re doing dude – tell us, share with us 🙂

Also, are you replying to comments? We’ll see shortly won’t we 😉

@sean – Why don’t you think it will take off?

@Chris M – I’ve taken a bit of a break from the blogging space after my trip to hospital last year but getting back into the swing of things.

Tesla http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla invented wireless electricity but there are a few conspiracies floating around on YouTube re: why it didn’t take off. Imagine if all electricity were free.

About what I’m up to… coming soon 🙂 You may have also noticed the frequency of updates have gone way up, almost every day again.

TYFYC 🙂

Totally dude, I understand that a break was in order, but it’s great to have some fresh content appearing again.

Ye, I’ve read about the wireless electricity and so forth, I’m just amazed that it’s not more of a reality yet. I read somewhere about a wireless laptop battery charger, can’t remember where it was tho 🙁

Let’s watch that space 🙂
