Alcowatch Breathalyzer Wristwatch

It seems that stuffing a breathalyzer inside of devices completely unrelated to alcohol is all the rage these days, and A&A Products (no relation to Alcoholics Anonymous) of Hong Kong is hoping you never leave home without a blood alcohol gauge of your own. Alcowatch offers a convenient way to keep tabs on your BAC and make sure you're home by curfew. The timepiece sports a digital clock readout, date function, a "temperature alarm," and of course, a blood alcohol tester that detects your level of intoxication from .02 - 1.5% BAC. While the watch may seem like a party-goer's must-have accessory, the design is relatively atrocious, and should probably be avoided by anyone actually looking for (positive) attention while out on the town -- unless, of course, it was mandated by your local authorities based on past offenses. We aren't sure what the Alcowatch will run you when it drops next month, but unless having a breathalyzer on-hand at all times is your top priority -- even over making a good impression on the opposite gender -- we'd recommend just tracking down a designated driver.

Sony Mylo WiFi Handheld

In September, Sony expects to ship a Linux- and Qtopia-based handheld device featuring WiFi connectivity, an Opera web browser, and a variety of text- and voice-messaging clients and media players. The Mylo -- short for "My Life Online" -- will be available in black or white, priced at $350. Despite its relatively high price, the Mylo will not include cell phone capabilities. Nor will it apparently offer compatibility with marketshare-leading instant message services from AOL and Microsoft. On the upside, the device is expected to support VoIP and instant message services available from Google Talk, Skype, and Yahoo! Additionally, the Mylo will include nearly a gig of user file storage, expandable via Memory Stick, along with players for MP3s, ATRAC, WMA, and MP4 video.
