Secret Agents need Bluetooth too

Although a bit old, Nydia just sent me a link to the Fossil bluetooth-enabled watches, essentially asking if something like that was really necessary. I say yes, but it doesn't look like these cut the secret agent mustard.

Basically, it just looks like a heads-up display / remote control for your phone. That could be useful in meetings and such. But where it falls short is in notifications. I guess the LEDs light up or what-not when you have an incoming call, but in addition to ring/vibrate, I'd like to see the "shock" option where it shocks your wrist when the phone rings.

If you have to ask why in the hell I'd want a watch that shocks me, I know very well that you, sir or madam, are not a secret agent. The shock option is perfect for when you are captured. At that point, the phone will ring (most likely Agent 99 calling with information that the meeting with Mr. White was a trap), the purloined watch will shock your nemesis, giving you that critical moment's distraction so you can turn the tables.

Giggity Gadgets

At work and amongst my friends, I am thought of as the "gadget guy". Evidently, I am the one with all the little tech toys and electronic gadgets and knowledge of far-too-many websites and web apps. I've got nothing on Jonathan (Atmasphere), however, who normally totes four mobile phones at a time. Wow!

But it was an interesting idea: what do I carry around as "necessary"?

• Phone: Nokia N75
• Tablet: Nokia 770
• Keyboard: Nokia Su-8w
  
• Laptop: IBM Thinkpad T42
• Watch: Guess stainless (fine, it's not a gadget, but another thing to grab in the morning)

The tablet+keyboard can substitute for the laptop when needed. I don't need to carry a camera (phone) or an mp3 player (phone and/or tablet). I used to have an iGo charger that would charge everything, but it decided to cease working.
