Finally, a belt that does more than hold up your pants
It was number 5 on CNN Money’s list of top tech flops. That seems a tad harsh. This is more like “useless and bizarre.”
It’s a belt-buckle-slash-personal-media-player by egokast. Retailing for $289, it features a stainless steel case, 3 1/2″ LCD display, and a 2 gig memory card. Apparently you can load your own videos onto your… belt?… or choose to download “egovideos” from their site. Then you can, well, walk around proudly playing your belt for about four hours on a charge.
In case you were wondering, egokast is their word for personal media players “turned outward.” “It’s your ego,” says the manufacturer, “let it blaze.” I think it’s going to take navel gazing to a whole new level.
