Walkie Talkie WatchesNow, that's what I'm talkin' bout. Last week I spoke of my affinity for Dick Tracy-style wrist radios, in reference to the GSM F88. Which was, we all admit, kind of on the fugly side. Trying to cram a fully functional cellphone into a watch form factor isn't really practical, what with all the advanced features they have nowadays.

But walkie-talkies...well, can I get a "hell yeah"? If you're looking for a Christmas present for me the geek in your family, this pair of radio watches could be a great stocking stuffer. Okay, they go for over $100, but can you put a price on pure joy? I think not. Oh, and in case you're wondering, pure joy has a range of about 2 miles.
