No one will suggest you ditch your timepiece for an iPod Nano - but the concept is interesting. The Nano has the ability to show images, play music, and of course, tell the time. The time telling function features the time with the date, but it rather basic with just one screen that can be viewed with either a black or white dial. I kept saying that Apple should have included more dials, and given people the ability to upload custom ones using the basic time program. Oh wait, Apple doesn't do open source, open platform I forgot. If they had good optional dials, people would likely pay for them.
People rushing to stick the Nano on their wrist tells me that people are looking for technologically sophisticated watches to show their face in the mainstream. Yes we can get oddly made mobile phone watches and alike, but these aren't ready for prime time - at all. Wait 5-10 years and we will have some much more legitimate wrist tech that will be more than useful.
