And since the ZINE ZN5 will have a Kodak camera, it goes without saying that it would have direct link to the Kodak online image gallery for viewing, storing and sharing with friends and family.

Now that we mostly don’t need traditional wristwatches to urgently tell us the time, playful watch designs seem to have largely replaced the utilitarian digital watches of old. You can go sci-fi futuristic with watches from Tokyoflash or go the other direction and get something like this Zihotch Retro Phone Watch from AudioCubes.com, which reminds you of the olden days of rotary dial phones (you can pick it up for $80). Made by Japanese company Maywadenki, it’s a rather huge piece if you have a tiny wrist, so it might be more appropriate as a Halloween costume if you go dressed as an old style phone booth.
