iWatch becomes reality

NEW YORK

AN AMERICAN company called iLoveHandles has started selling Rock Band, a leather strap that turns your iPod nano into a wristwatch, Mashable.com reported.

The strap has a special notch to accommodate the iPod nano’s built-in clip. It costs US$19.95 (S$26.70) – a small price to pay if one’s lifelong dream is to carry an Apple product on your wrist.

Technology website Gizmodo hailed it as a brilliant idea but CrunchGear has a few reservations. For example, the latter noted that eight hours of battery life is not at all ideal for a wristwatch.

Also, since an iPod is not even remotely water-resistant, you will need to be very conscious not to get your handswet while wearing it or you could very easily end up with a dead device lashed to your arm, like something from some gadget- based horror film, Mobility Site.com reported.
