Suunto have released their D6 dive computer watch. From the picture below it looks to be a great watch. It sports many functions which divers will find useful. 3 modes are included which has a Gas switching system, an integrated digital compass and Suunto’s RGBM deep stop algorithm. The display is crisp and it provides all the information you need such as depth, time, direction and your decompression status.

Klegg have updated their Mini MP3 player with more memory and it now supports video also. 3 versions will be available, 1Gb, 2GB and 4Gb. They each support Bluetooth and have MP3 / WMA / MPEG4 / WMV / DIVX / AVI playback.
The 1.8″ screen is small… and I am not sure how good that will display video.

I just love these concept designs from Yanko Design. The Triple Watch Cellphone is a wrist watch that converts in to a mobile phone. Seems more like a transformer watch. If used as a speaker phone it can remain on the wrist while driving.

I havent seen a device with 2 headphone sockets since my sisters bright Yellow Sony splash proof sports walkman.

The Nintendo Wii (pronounced We) might be getting to us 2 months early according to Chris Morris of CNNMoney.com. The Wii is already being developed and is looking good for an early launch.
