The World’s Wildest Wearable Gadgets
Most of these 15 pieces of tech coutre won't make you more fashionable. Just way, way more geeky.Posted by JR Raphael | Monday, July 27, 2009
Bluetooth Earpiece Ring
Announced just days ago, the AbsolutelyNew ORB Bluetooth earpiece ring brings a fresh look to the dorkiest of devices. The ORB starts as a sleek-looking metallic ring, putting caller ID info and voice-to-text messaging at your fingertips (well, near your fingertips, anyway). With one simple twist, the ORB transforms into a stylish S-shaped Bluetooth earpiece.
The ORB’s basic model is set to go on sale for around $129. The $175 deluxe edition, which has the ring-based caller ID display, will follow in April.
Geek-o-meter: 
Forget the diamond ring–get her this.

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….
But don’t mind the slide show at all…..

@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.
