Sony Ericsson LiveView
I’m intrigued by Sony Ericsson’s new LiveView gadgets – a watch-sized add-on for your Android phone that serves as an additional display. I can imagine this being quite handy in crowded situations, like on the subway, or when you want to check for updates or new messages without retrieving your phone from the depths of your pockets (especially helpful during cold, snowy days like today’s, when you might not want to unbutton your coat to reach for your phone). Engadget has a review but isn’t fully convinced of the product with its first-generation kinks. These things remind me of the concept of personal area networks from a few years back, which never really took off aside from Bluetooth headsets. I wonder if the iPod Nano might be headed in a similar direction down the road. Shape- and size-wise it would make a lot of sense.
