I looked at the features on the apple website but then got lazy.

Does anyone know if the iPod nano can connect to my iPhone through bluetooth and be used to communicate texts, emails, and phone calls to my wrist?

Motorola's new doohickey is supposed to do that but it's gonna cost a lot more money.

because pulling your phone out of the pocket to check your text messages is so goddamn incovenient..

They will probably add bluetooth to the next nano as well as a microphone and speaker (and jack the price up of course)

Getting texts would be cool but imagine how awesome nerds would feel if they could use siri on a wristwatch.

That's some Sci-fi fantasy wish fulfillment shit right there.

used to have one of these

The novelty wears out pretty fast.

Fuck your watch. I got electrodes implanted in my head that communicate over iBrain and beam everything my phone is doing directly into my brain.

^^ but if it were a better display than 1 bar I think the novelty could last a little longer.

I put my phone on vibrate and check it instead of being lazy.

I liked these ones. I think nano in a wristwatch mount has potential as an audio player and possibly a fitness trainer, but txt messages and email is just too much IF you have to carry a phone in your pocket anyways

I wasnt thinking about actually communicating through the watch. only receiving alerts in case I didn't feel the vibration in my pocket

Dude I sit next to at work has one of these. He is a global systems engineer so he's on an airplane all the time, so it's easy for him to just plug his headphones into the "watch" and listen to music instead of draining the battery on his phone.
