iPod Watch

Designed by Peter Burns, this iPod watch concept is envisioned “as a 10GB player with Bluetooth-enabled earphones.” Unfortunately, like most other concepts, availability and pricing are unknown.

Triple Watch Cell Phone

Here’s a first: a wrist watch that’s capable of transforming into a cell phone — designed by Manon Maneenawa.

Or the user can combine the Triple Watch with a Bluetooth headset and carry on a wireless conversation that way,” he said.
