In an age where there are so many new gadgets available, you need something different to stand out. Enter the Video Watch with OLED Screen, a real conversation-starter. At first glance it looks like an ordinary wristwatch with a large display. Upon closer inspection, the Video Watch will show its many talents. It will display video and images brilliantly with a 128 x 128 pixel resolution on a 1.5" full color OLED screen. Colors will display crisp and bright on this well-proportioned watch; it doesn't feel heavy or bulky. The audio comes in quite well, and it handles MP3/WMA playback and six equalizer modes. The Video Watch's built in microphone accommodates recording of notes to yourself, meetings and more for playback. The battery charges via USB and boasts a seven hour playback time for audio or four hours of video playback. Now you can show off photos to your friends and impress them with all the great features you can wear on your wrist. All this and it's a real watch, too- the digital watch displays the time and date (day, month and year). The Video Watch comes with earphones, mini CD with video conversion software, user guide, USB cable and a wall AC-to-USB charger. Available in 1GB or 2GB storage capacity.

Here's one of the most unusual, futuristic items we've found! The Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard has arrived, and gives us a glimpse into where technology is headed. This little gadget laser-projects a keyboard onto any flat surface. You then type onto the image accompanied by simulated key click sounds. You can compose an email for your Bluetooth enabled cell phone or PDA. It displays 63 keys in a full size QWERTY display layout (295 x 95mm projected). The Laser Virtual Keyboard gives you the ease and convenience of regular keyboard typing. This little wonder is only 3.5" high, and works on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that lasts for 120 minutes of continuous typing, with a detection rate of up to 400 characters a minute. It's compatible with PalmOS 5, PocketPC 2003, Windows Smartphone, Symbian OS and Windows 2000/XP. The Mac OSX support is limited, though.
