We’ve seen touchscreen watches. We’ve seen watches with DAP functionality. We’ve also seen watches with integrated cameras and watches that double up as wrist worn cell phones. But what about a wrist watch that comes with touchscreen, cell phone functionality and integrated camera that packs in DAP capabilities complete with inbuilt stereo speakers that happens to be waterproof and, (yes, there’s more), which comes in a gloriously tacky golden finish?
Yes, it’s another gem from ChinaGrabber whose undoubted claim to fame is the sustained ability to produce cheap gadgetry that sounds great on paper and looks crap in reality.
This M1000i 1.5″ Quad Band TouchScreen WaterProof WristWatch Phone w/ Bluetooth, Camera, Mp3, Mp4 (to give it it’s formal and decidedly catchy title) measures in at 56 x 43 x 19mm and, as alluded to previously, packs in just about everything you could possibly want in a watch (and then some) that you quite probably wouldn’t be seen dead with.
Offering GSM 850/900/1800/1900 connectivity, as well as Bluetooth, this touchscreen cell phone DAP camera stereo speaker watch (you’ll excuse us if we’ve missed something out here), sports a 1.5″ 260K color 176 x 220 resolution display, comes with integrated 2 megapixel camera (allowing you to capture stills and video with sound), offers MP3, MP4, 3GP, JPG and GIF file format compatibility and no, we wouldn’t be seen dead with it either.

Referred to as both the PeeWee Pivot Tablet Laptop and the PeeWee Premier PC, this 1.6GHz Atom N270 powered 10″ touchscreen laptop is aimed specifically at young children and, apart from offering s sturdy design capable of riding out the knocks and scrapes young kids will undoubtedly throw at it (its both drop and spill resistant), comes with a bundle of ten ‘age-targeted’ software titles as well as handwriting recognition and MS Works 9.0.
Measuring in at 9.5″ x 7.5″ x 1.5″ the PeeWee Pivot Tablet Laptop, as befits a tablet PC, comes with a swivel display capable of swivelling 180 degrees, 1GB of memory (upgradeable to 2GB), a 60GB HDD, 2-in-1 card reader and Ethernet connectivity as well as Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n (interestingly billed as Linux version only though only an XP Home version appears to be available at this time), a 1.3 megapixel camera and, apart from coming with customised themes taking in the likes of Disney can be ‘custom built for your child’s age, name, and interests’ - though quite what this specifically entails, apart from entering your kid’s name, eludes us.
Provided with software that enables parents to snoop on what their child’s up to (for piece of mind), the PeeWee Pivot Tablet Laptop is priced from just shy of $600 and is available as of now.
