Seiko Watch Company has been making watches for eons, but this must be its coolest make yet. Quite similar in concept to the Bracelet Media Player, the new Seiko watch has already been deemed the most beautiful watch for women, and you couldn’t agree. After the release of the male watch, this Seiko watch made for the fairer sex is modeled after its predecessor. Made from thin flexible e-paper, the watch makes use of Electronic Ink to display the time.

Fashioned like a bracelet, the watch comes in silver metallic colours that add zing to its couture status. The continuous sapphire crystal body displays the time in two modes: efficient mode that displays the numbers in simple font and mystery mode that displays the numbers in a curvier more appreciative font style. The watch uses a new high contrast ink for display and does not need much power, meaning the battery will last long. Unfortunately, the watch comes at a high price, $2000 to be exact. But which lady could say no to this beautiful piece?

The Harry Potter movies that audaciously show-off posters and newspapers with moving pictures have increased the desire in the tech world to create thinner and even thinner displays. This desire, coupled with the need to appear fashionable, may have lent to the creation of this next gadget-cum-jewelry piece. The Bracelet media player by Chocolate Agency will make your eyes pop out. This bracelet is completely made of e-paper which can displays media clips.

The e-paper which is thin and flexible enough to roll into the shape of a bracelet, can be worn around the wrist and need only be unrolled to view movies et al. The concept of a bracelet means you have a cool looking jewelry piece that allows you to carry, on your wrist, a whole movie theatre. The Bracelet media player is also quite eco-friendly since it is powered from the kinetic energy created by the person wearing it. No clues on the price yet, but I am not sure men would racing to get this gadget.

Can’t believe something as thin and sleek as paper can bear the load of the fattest people in the world, for the paper thin gadget is target to the weighty souls only. We are talking about the ePaper scale from the house of Duck Image Studio.
The ultra-thin weighing machine, e-paper homes pressure sensing sheets which help displaying the weight n the e-paper display as anyone rides on to it.
The weighing paper (machine sounds too bulky for it) is waterproof and easy to wipe and can also be rolled up like a calendar for easy storage. So you can use it inside your bathroom, without letting anyone know how much have you put on since your last birthday.
e-Paper sounds great, particularly for the weight conscious people. They can always keep it with them and keep a track of those grams even when are on the move!
But something that’s so easily accessible and convenient to use can also add a bit of negativity. Negativity in terms of health as people can get obsessed with their weight and keep checking it every hour…so in my opinion keep it at your home only if you can control your self and keep a decent and a healthy way to weight management rather than use a recourse against yourself.

A good news for all those who loved communicating and setting reminders through the hard to ignore ‘Post-it’ ot ‘Sticky’ notes as nowonwards, the good old ‘Post-it’ notes will also be used to send reminders and messages through e-mails or a mobile device as they get converted into their electronic avatar!

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed electronic sticky notes called ‘Quickies’, which is aimed at merging the digital media with the paper world with a view to improvies ’staying organised’.

These can be digitally searched, so even if you forget where you put the Quickie, a keyword search on your computer can easily give you an access to all the Quickie notes that you put on forthat articular keyword, making your work simpler!

Quite similar to the Post-It notes in appearance, Quickies combine artificial intelligence, natural language processing, ink recognition technologies, and RFID tags into a modern version of the reliable analog. When placed inside an electronic pad the handwriting gets converted into a digital form, which is recognised by the Custom software.

So, the next time your boss changes the time of the meeting when you are away, the Quickies  will automatically send him/her an instant message regarding the same.

Hmm…seems the electronic-post its will be a great deal of relief to those who are still a bit uncomfortable when it comes to using keyboards and computers.
