Quad-band watch phone rolls on Windows CE 5.0

Filed under: Cellphones, Wearables

Ready for some honesty? We can think of a good handful of timepieces that we’d buy before we dropped $629.95 on this catastrophe, but for folks with pants too slim and hands too full to carry around a separate cellphone, we suppose it’s a so-so alternative. The EGP-WP98 claims to be the first quad-band GSM watch phone to come with Windows CE 5.0 installed, and while it’s supposed to tout a SIM card slot, water-resistance, a 266MHz CPU and a 1.45-inch display with handwriting recognition (for real?), that little line informing us that specifications are “subject to change without notice” makes us a touch leery. Nevertheless, you can also expect (though you may not get) a 1.3-megapixel camera, WiFi, a T-Flash expansion slot, multimedia player and built-in Bluetooth. According to one particular e-tailer, it’ll be ready to ship on April 25th — whether or not anyone’s fat-fingered enough to push an order through, however, remains to be seen.

Eee PC-like Deep Blue H1 mini laptop hits the Philippines

Filed under: Laptops

There’s certainly no shortage of Eee PC competitors these days, and it looks like another one recently snuck its way into the Philippines, where Blue Digital’s diminutive Deep Blue H1 is apparently now on sale. Unlike the Eee PC, this one packs a 1.0GHz VIA Esther processor, though it boasts a similar 7-inch 800 x 480 display, along with 1GB of RAM, a 40GB hard drive, and the LinPus Linux distro as the standard OS, with Windows XP available as an option. Our tipster in Manilla also informs us that while it’s only available in basic black at the moment, you’ll apparently soon be able to get your choice of white or sky blue models as well. No word on a release anywhere else, unfortunately, but those in the Philippines can snag one for Php 16,995, or just over $400.

[Thanks, Alan]

Game Boy Boots Aren’t Cool [Fashion]

If you want to show off your love for the Game Boy, I can think of quite a few better ways to do it than by wearing some seriously ugly boots with Game Boys strapped to the front. Not that I’m a fashionista or anything, but I mean, come on. They also come in high heels form, which might be even worse. Check those after the jump.
