Aigo F029 does audio, video, and tells the time

MP3-playing watches are pretty much a niche market, and they come with the bare essentials that are functional but not fun. The Aigo F029 wristwatch is different from the rest of the mould, featuring a full color OLED display with a resolution of 160 x 128 pixels. Not only does it support MP3 and WMA with DRM audio formats, this multi-tasking wristwatch does MPEG 4 video as well. We expect you to squint while watching videos though, as the screen is really too small for a full-length movie. Additional features include a headphone port, navigational controls, and a mini USB 2.0 port. The Aigo F029 is available in 512MB or 1GB versions. Pricing details and availability out of China is currently unknown. It would be cool if the manufacturers added in Bluetooth functionality to eliminate unsightly headphone wires.
