Gentlemen,

I may have just had the best idea ever in the whole world (if it will work).

What do you reckon the chances are of Voxwav working on this... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Daditong-Watch-Mobile-Bluetooth-Camera/dp/B009GDUP2K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371198477&sr=8-1&keywords=Daditong+watch

We could all finally be Michael Knight.  No more picking up a tablet or taking your phone out of your pocket.  The microphone is simply on your wrist and only costs 40 bucks!!!!

What do you reckon??

The main question, or first question anyway is: does it have WiFi?
It looks like the answer is no, but the tech specs are missing onboth links so it's hard to know.

MrWolf

There is a much more full review of the watch (and very technical) here...

http://linuxslate.com/Review_Z1_Android-2.2-Watch.html

My excitement is hugely dampened by the poor wifi performance he has experienced.  I can't think of a solution short of using bluetooth tether to the phone and use the phones WIFI instead.  Perhaps my dreams are premature and the technology just isn't ready :(

From his article...

"WiFi performance is so poor that in essence, this device does not have WiFi.  I had to literally stand directly under a ceiling-mounted WiFi access point to load Google Play"

This was July 2012 though.  I wonder if there has been improvements or other manufacturers.

I have found a book that might be of interest.

http://www.amazon.de/The-Geeks-Guide-World-Domination/dp/0307450341

QuoteTUNE IN. TURN ON. GEEK OUT.
Sorry, beautiful people. These days, from government to business to technology to Hollywood, geeks rule the world.
Finally, here’s the book no self-respecting geek can live without–a guide jam-packed with 314.1516 short entries both useful and fun. Science, pop-culture trivia, paper airplanes, and pure geekish nostalgia coexist as happily in these pages as they do in their natural habitat of the geek brain.
In short, dear geek, here you’ll find everything you need to achieve nirvana. And here, for you pathetic nongeeks, is the last chance to save yourselves: Love this book, live this book, and you too can join us in the experience of total world domination.

This might also be a useful watch for you all. The watch is definitely not as flash as the other ones above but might have some merit as well :)
