It's not the most elegant wristwatch for a cool gadget, but Sony Ericsson's Bluetooth MBW-100 timepiece held our attention for the week we had fiddling with its innovative features, from the caller ID display to the music and call controls, and an out-of-range security buzzer. Take note that this is a prototype sample. Other than that, here are our first impressions of this 007-like gizmo.

O'Neill H3 Fat Controller: Love me tender, glove me sweet
Edvarcl Heng | Oct 11, 2006
We can't put a finger on it, but the O'Neill H3 Fat Controller Glove seems to be a rather handy device. Fancy circuitry at the back of the glove ensures back-of-the-hand intuitiveness for playback control. A built-in radio transmitter allows us to finger track skipping and volume controls while our iPod sits snug in the pocket. We also applaud the waterproof control system which lets us wave goodbye to electronics foul-ups from the elements.
Perfect for iPod owners with butter fingers on a ski slope. Stops them from getting cold feet… or hands as the case may be.

Just to whet your appetite, expect these new entries to sell at less than US$1,000 when they hit the market.
