Just in from Overstock.com, a Swatch Paparazzi SPOT watch for $59. The kit comes with a one-year subscription to the MSN Direct service, so it might just make some sense.

* News, weather, stock quotes, sports, diversions, lottery, horoscope, daily diversions, glance, traffic
* Swatch city
* 5 different watch faces and animations

Might be fun to get one to play with the potential messaging applications. I’ve used one for just weather and news, but the technology could be pretty exciting when/if MS starts offering APIs for programmers.

From TheSportingLife.net - Now that the RAZR is old hat, the LG Chocolate phone is going to be what’s hot for the rest of this year. It’s got a slick black (chocolatey) face with red buttons and a slide out dial pad. Yes, it’s a slider and not a flip, so flip-only fans like Jack Bauer may have to pass on this one.

The LG should hold you over until the end of the year, when the new Moto KRZR and friends hit the scene to retake the fashion phone crown.

If your office road warriors need to keep in touch, consider SightSpeed. I just gave it a try last week and it worked extremely well, even over a wireless connection hooked up to a cable modem. The audio was very crisp and the video - while a bit laggy at points due to the connection - was better than I’ve seen in a while. It’s a free download and works on both PCs and Macs. A Linux version is also in the works.

The service also includes VoIP to POTS service, similar to SkypeOUT. Rates are about 2-5 cents per minute.
