			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After seeing countless movie characters and comic book protagonists with a wristwatch communicator, you&#8217;d think that being able to have one in real life is an appealing idea.</p>
<p><span id="more-85257"></span>Apparently, it&#8217;s not. At least not if it&#8217;s the size of your iPhone. That much is clear if you look at Dmitry Ostrogorsky&#8217;s project up on Kickstarter called the <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1958024164/connectorr-smartphone-iphone-gps-wearable-mounting?ref=recently_launched">ConnectorR</a>, which isn&#8217;t generating much in the way of funds or support (yet?)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-85392" title="connectorr_iphone_wrist_band" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/connectorr_iphone_wrist_band.jpg" alt="connectorr iphone wrist band" width="600" height="399" /></p>
<p>The ConnectorR is basically a leather bracelet with a metallic mount, on which you&#8217;re supposed to mount your smartphone using double-sided foam stickers. Yes, you read that right: foam stickers. On your phone. But Dmitry recommends that you stick the stickers on a case instead of your actual phone so you can remove it.</p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="460" src="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1958024164/connectorr-smartphone-iphone-gps-wearable-mounting/widget/video.html" width="620"></iframe></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in supporting his project, you can head on over to <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1958024164/connectorr-smartphone-iphone-gps-wearable-mounting?ref=recently_launched">Kickstarter</a> to back it. Those who pledge a minimum of $29 or more will get a complete wrist package that includes the Die Cast ConnectorR with custom made, genuine leather wristband. Higher pledges will get you upgrades like additional mounts for your belt or an armband, or a special red version of the ConnectorR among other bonuses.</p>
<p>If you squint your eyes real hard, it&#8217;s sort of like a current day <a title="Real Life Pip-Boy 3000: Level Up Those Repair Perks" href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/09/04/real-life-pip-boy-3000-fallout/">Pip-Boy 3000.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Morphix Technologies has been working on a new bio-chemical detection device for the Marines, but with the world being what it is today, they know that many others are going to want one too. The <a href="http://www.morphtec.com/html/chameleon.html">Morphix Chameleon</a> is a wearable gadget that will let you know what toxic substances are in the air. Once you know, you can protect yourself or even better, leave the area!<br />
<span id="more-68772"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-68773" title="Morphix Chameleon" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Morphix-Chameleon.jpg" alt="Morphix Chameleon" width="600" height="609" /><br />
The device is tough and good in even extreme weather conditions. A color warning on each capsule corresponds to the toxin and alerts you to it&#8217;s presence. It has no batteries and is in fact apparently not powered by anything, so it won&#8217;t fail you in an emergency. It can even survive in water.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-68801" title="morphix_chameleon_chemical_detector_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/morphix_chameleon_chemical_detector_2.jpg" alt="morphix chameleon chemical detector 2" width="600" height="486" /></p>
<p>They are marketing the device to anyone and everyone who may face danger from toxins, like rescue workers, EMTs and those who work with hazardous chemicals. It&#8217;s available now to those of us who might need one. It currently detects 11 deadly gases, and they&#8217;re working on additional sensors for future release.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ShockSlayer">ShockSlayer</a> is one of those guys you can rely on to crank out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7D4-E3GpqM">cool portable game consoles</a>, and the (occasional <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/10/22/glowing-zelda-belt-buckle/">light-up Zelda belt buckle</a>) but it turns out that in his spare time, he likes to play with fire.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-35877  aligncenter" title="shockslayer_wrist_flamethrower" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/shockslayer_wrist_flamethrower.jpg" alt="shockslayer wrist flamethrower" width="612" height="451" /></p>
<p>In this vid clip, SS shows off his work-in-progress wrist-work flamethrower in action. The rig consists of an aerosol can of butane, some tubing, a nozzle and a finger-controlled trigger made from string. It&#8217;s definitely not something I&#8217;d strap to my arm if given a choice.</p>
<p><a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2010/07/06/wrist-flamethrower/"><strong>Click to View Embedded Video Clip</strong></a></p>
<p>Now SS hasn&#8217;t figured out a permanent source of ignition, so he has to start it with a torch, but once it&#8217;s going, it&#8217;s definitely something that could strike fear into the hearts of anyone who tries to mess with him.</p>
<p>While I can&#8217;t in good conscience advocate you guys building this sort of dangerous rig for yourselves, I have to hand it to ShockSlayer for his ingenuity. Now don&#8217;t set the house &#8211; or the cat &#8211; on fire.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It looks like nightmares are becoming a reality for the Japanese. A new cell phone from KDDI, that&#8217;s packaged attractively as a wrist phone, will be able to tell if you&#8217;re slacking off at work. It will then rat you out to your boss!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-29662" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/031210_rg_BigBrotherJp_01.jpg" alt="031210 rg BigBrotherJp 01" width="600" height="448" title="031210 rg BigBrotherJp 01 photo" /></p>
<p>This is definitely some Orwellian technology. The phone&#8217;s accelerometer is sensitive enough to track the movements of your arm. If don&#8217;t move a lot, the phone will report you to your boss.<span id="more-29661"></span></p>
<p>KDDI claims that it can tell if you&#8217;re walking, going up stairs, or cleaning. It will also tell if you are taking a snooze, spending time idling. I can just imagine the situation. A new salary-man gets a job and to top things off, he gets a brand new wristphone watch. A month later, he&#8217;s informed that he lost his job because he wastes too much time doing nothing. No thanks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a girly-girl accessory that looks much more like a swanky piece of jewelry than a storage device for your computer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12154 aligncenter" title="usb_sparkly_bracelet" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/usb_sparkly_bracelet.jpg" alt="usb sparkly bracelet" width="520" height="781" /></p>
<p>But beneath the surface of this sparkly bejeweled bracelet is a hidden USB flash drive. The connector hinges neatly out of the side of the bracelet when you&#8217;re ready to jack it into your computer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12156 aligncenter" title="hidden_usb_bracelet" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/hidden_usb_bracelet.jpg" alt="hidden usb bracelet" width="520" height="427" /></p>
<p>And while all those jewels might make it look expensive, it&#8217;s actually just cheap costume jewelry fashioned from stainless steel (or possibly aluminum) and rhinestones.</p>

<p>The 2GB version is available from <a href="http://chinagrabber.com/2gb-stainless-steel-usb-flash-pen-drive-bracelet-w-bling-stones-for-her---bracelet-1000.aspx">Chinagrabber</a> for just $22.99 (USD), while you can grab the 8GB model from <a href="http://usb.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00763">Brando</a> for $33 bucks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After releasing the <a href="http://toys.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00291" target="_blank">croissant wrist support</a>, Brando is back with another pastry prop. I think this time they&#8217;re aiming for people with simple taste. Crazy people with simple taste. The White Bread Wrist Rest is what it says it is: it&#8217;s a white bread wrist rest.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5996" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/wtf.jpg" alt="wtf" width="520" height="370" title="wtf photo" /></p>
<p>Brando says that it&#8217;s also good for &#8220;decoration&#8221;. I had the slightest suspicion that it was only meant to be eaten, but now I can rest assured that bread is also an ornament.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5997" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/reallywtf.jpg" alt="reallywtf" width="520" height="410" title="reallywtf photo" /></p>
<p>You can get one of these <a href="http://toys.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00376" target="_blank">for $6 or two for $10</a>. Brando doesn&#8217;t say what the white bread wrist rests are made of, so if you order one and receive bread, as in bread bread&#8230; just&#8230;I don&#8217;t know. <em>Caveat emptor.</em></p>
<p>White bread wrist rests. I love this job so much.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever find yourself running out of juice in your mobile gadget?  Leave it to the wizards at Japan&#8217;s Thanko to come up with a new way to keep your devices charged long beyond their standard battery capacity.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/thanko_charger_bracelet.jpg" alt="thanko charger bracelet"  title="thanko charger bracelet photo" /></p>
<p>The charger bracelet straps around your wrist and provides supplemental power to you portable gear when you&#8217;re on the road. While it may look a bit silly, it&#8217;s actually a pretty useful concept. Just pre-charge the bracelet using your USB port, and wear it on your arm. When your gadget is on its last breath, plug it in, and you&#8217;re ready to go.</p>
<p>Gamers will get an additional 15 to 20 hours of play time on the DS Lite, and about 3.5 to 4.5 hours extra on the battery-hog PSP. While the adapters for the Nintendo DS Lite and Sony PSP will definitely come in handy outside of Japan, most of the other devices it works with are more region-specific (like DoCoMo and SoftBank phones).</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t mind looking a little bit goofy, you can pick one up from <a href="http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=ja|en&amp;u=http://thanko.jp/chargerbracelet/">Thanko</a> for ¥4,980 (appx. $43 USD).</p>
<p>[via <a href="http://www.qj.net/Thanko-s-Charger-Bracelet-power-for-your-mobile-DS-PSP-on-the-go/pg/49/aid/105535">QJ.net</a>]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple of years back, GoPro introduced a compact wrist-worn digital camera which let you shoot photos while you participated in sporting activities.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/go_pro_digital_hero_3.jpg" alt="go pro digital hero 3"  title="go pro digital hero 3 photo" /></p>
<p>The problem was that the original only shot really low resolution pics that didn&#8217;t look very good. I&#8217;m happy to report that the company has recently bumped the camera up to 3-megapixels, so it now takes some pretty good quality photos.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/go_pro_surfer.jpg" alt="go pro surfer"  title="go pro surfer photo" /></p>
<p>The $139 Digital Hero 3 straps onto your wrist (or directly onto your sports equipment) and can shoot not only still photos, but can also shoot full motion video (with sound) at 640&#215;480 resolution. The quality of the video is more than acceptable for YouTube, or even playback on a small TV. Thanks to an SD memory card slot, you can shoot up to 54 minutes of video on a single 2GB card.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s all packaged in a durable housing which can handle extreme movement and up to 100 feet of water, so you can even take it in the ocean or in a pool and shoot. Be sure to check out the sample pictures and videos over on the <a href="http://www.goprocamera.com/dh3mp.htm">GoPro website</a>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A while back, we featured the first ever MP4 video player watch. Now you can pick up a wrist-worn player with a full 16:9 ratio widescreen.

The wrist player features a 1.8-inch widescreen color display (isn&#8217;t that an oxymoron like &#8220;jumbo shrimp?&#8221;) It&#8217;s got 2GB of flash memory on board,&#8230;]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A while back, we featured the first ever <a href="/blog/2006/11/03/video-watch-plays-mp4s-for-under-100/">MP4 video player watch</a>. Now you can pick up a wrist-worn player with a full 16:9 ratio widescreen.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/widescreen_video_watch.jpg" alt="widescreen video watch"  title="widescreen video watch photo" /></p>
<p>The wrist player features a 1.8-inch widescreen color display (isn&#8217;t that an oxymoron like &#8220;jumbo shrimp?&#8221;) It&#8217;s got 2GB of flash memory on board, and can play MP4, MP3, WAV and WMA formats. There&#8217;s even an FM radio along for the ride. Oddly enough, even though you wear it on your wrist, it doesn&#8217;t look like the device can tell time (or at least that&#8217;s not in the specifications.)</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a super geeky fashion accessory, you can pick up these players <a href="http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/widescreen-mp4-player-watch-18-inch-display-2gb/">from importer Chinavasion</a> for just $56.74.</p>
