You are aware that in the future everyone will be watching TV on their wrists, aren't you? Apparently the future begins here, because this 12 mm-thick Epoq Video Wristwatch can play back MPEG-4 and WMA video on its 1.5 inch 128x128 pixel screen. Adding to the efficiency of that video are the OLEDs (organic light emitting diodes) that make up its 260K screen, tiny diodes which are a lot thinner, run cooler and use significantly less energy than traditional backlit LCD video displays.

It does more than just play video, too, storing 2-GB of MP3 audio files (a 4-GB model is in the works) on its internal flash memory and packing enough battery power to play those tunes for eight hours on a charge. It even has an FM radio on board, and oh yeah, it also tells you the time of day.

This is a fascinating design exercise using the latest OLED technology, but we're seriously wondering just how pleasurable it would be to watch video for long on a 1.5-inch screen. The cost of finding out is surprisingly low, though, it's $169.95. — Charlie White
