Idea: Wrist Mounted Pandora

[Sphinxter]

The only problem with the pandora watch is it just keeps counting down, <drumroll/> two months <rimshot/>!

 

[sixela]

Great idea! Who cares that it might be sex repellent!

 

[JayFoxRox]

I love the Pandora. It's so bad.

I think the Gumstix Overo might be better-suited to this.

I'm gonna use my Pandora to hack an ATM.

The picture of Craig with the Pandora is just so awesome! :lol:

But, I wanna rub the nubs with both hands. So this freaky setup is not for me.

My avatar approves of this idea.

Your avatar is weak..

EDIT- I was going to buy a special edition of fallout3 to get the pipboy3000 watch, and then just put a beagleboard in it. hmmm.....

Get an N900 and use a wrist strap or as above - a Jailbroken iPhone (or ipod)

I like this, the added weight would give my pimp slaps the force and stopping power they've been lacking as of late.

Lol!!! That statement is full of win. When I get a Pandora one of the first things I'm going to do is mount it on my wrist. And then wear it to school.

OH WOW! It'd be like BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!!!!

With a flip out screen and everything!!!

I am SOOO engineering a lightweight wrist strap mechanism slash pandora holster that allows for one handed wristy mounted action!!!

Yes, but does your helmet do that "WHOOSH!" thing?

 

[paulguy]

Heh, completely silly. I can see no use for this. And really, I would never risk any of my electronics to a wrist/arm/whatever strap. Too much movement, risks breaking it, flinging the pandora and splitting it in to a nice screen and the pandora cube that we've been hearing about.

Whoops, I was so busy making Toy Story references in my last post that I forgot to provide a link to that tutorial I mentioned yesterday.

It's here. Obviously, the pattern as-is is not suitable for this, since it's literally a carrying case with an arm-strap on it. However, the basic techniques would be useful when combined with some sort of form-fitting carry-case for the Pandora (like the ones available for the various Nintendo DS models, which allow you to open and use the system without removing it from the case) - though how to make one of those is left as an exercise for the reader. (I wasn't planning on making one myself, so I have no pattern ideas for that. :lol: )

That's my idea for feasibly making a wrist-holder of some sort, at least.

Haha, Terminator/Atari Portfolio reference.

 

[Polossatik]

Nice idea, but nothing beats the µWatch in geekness factor.

I still prefer the idea of Pandora as a belt buckle. But I could also see the Pandora as a locking mechanism for a chastity belt. You have to beat some game on it to unlock it. Brings new meaning to the term "Win".

"Win"? I would have gone with "Score".

Even the new stupidly expensive LG mobile phone watches are pretty chunky, the thought of a Pandora strapped to your arm would be a bit silly and you'd definatly look a right plonker. Come on? You'd have to be a bit mentally challenged to pull it off. Makes me think back to the guy on the bike with solar panels, lazor, satalite tv etc etc pic that was on here a while back, I don't want to search for it but maybe he should have a pandora watch added, lol

 

[VRAndy]

Mentally challenged? How so?

Most people that are hard-core into the "Wearable computers" scene are from MIT or Caltech or something.

You aren't seriously considering someone "mentally challenged" because they dare to be different?

Where is Klepto? He's our wearable expert, after all.
