The World’s Wildest Wearable Gadgets

Metal-Detecting Sandals
Creep out sunbathers by walking on the beach with the Hammacher Schlemmer Metal-Detecting Sandals. The shoes geek out your feet with an integrated copper coil featuring “beat frequency oscillation technology”: When you step over metal, the system sends an alert to a battery pack strapped around your calf. It’ll flash and vibrate, letting you know about the potential treasure below. The Metal-Detecting Sandals sell for about $60.
Geek-o-meter: 
I detect a guy walking around the beach by himself.

I think the Solar Backpack charger is a pretty neat piece of wearable green geek chic.

Don’t get too dependent. Most of this won’t work well at Rooster Rock park.

Your link on the home page goes to the Radio Shack swhuld not change it’s name page.
Not too bad for a tech site…..
Wait, no, fail….

@tron… but that’s one way to make money. every time you click next, the page loads anew and the website receives a new “impression” and the ads are delivered anew… etc.
Usability is often not the main concern of website publishers, when they have to make a living off of their site ^_^

Um….couldn’t they make it a little more fashionable? Great idea but really, I wouldn’t want to look like a fisherman all the time.

I love the Bluetooth device ring, so chic and functional.
