Gadget Gift Ideas
Apple has released their new concept gadget design, iWatch; a bluetooth wristwatch that can synchronize with other Apple gadgets such as iPhone and iPad. With silver colored casing and full LCD screen, this concept gadget surely looks stylish and futuristic, and maybe useful for Gadget Gift Ideas. But there is no more than that. Despite its 16 GB internal storage, this Eco Friendly Product can do nothing but looks stylish and futuristic.
Do we really need a gadget that is able to connect ALL the other gadgets we have? Its ability to answer calls from your iPhone sounds like a joke to me. Do you “really” need a gadget to answer a phone that you placed in your pocket? I do find the weather display is useful to be put on a wristwatch, but RSS Feed and photo display? Would you prefer to see news or images on two inch screen? My eyes feel tired already. To make it even more ridiculous, the designer team decided to add the extra feature of in-build mini projector called the pico projector. Now my wrist feels tired.
