The Brando MP4 Watch – This is one of my first Christmas holiday gadget purchases…I love the fun and funky orange colour and the portability of this all-in-one media player. I don’t need to carry my ipod with me everywhere I go now to listen to music or watch some video clips on the go…it can also act as a spy device because I can record conversations without anyone knowing
And don’t be swayed by any negative comments you may find on the Net with converting your MP4 files to NXV format or jpeg files to RAW format in order to play your video clips and photos. The conversion software it comes with makes it easy to convert your photo, music, and video files in order to play them on this watch…I didn’t have any problems with the conversion.
The watch comes in either 1 or 2 GB versions, and in black or orange colours. I bought the funky orange 1GB model for just US$100, which is quite cheap for a watch considering it can do so much more than just tell the time. The 2GB version costs US$140, but I thought the 1 GB was good enough for me, as I’ve loaded a couple of videos and photos on the watch so far and still have plenty of space left for loading more media.
The screen size is too small to watch full movies on, so I don’t know why some people have been complaining that the NXV conversion inflates the file size too much to load a movie. It’s not meant for watching movies, but just for sharing some video clips taken with your digital camera. Get a real PMP for watching movies like an Archos media player (I got the 1st generation model, but just use it as an extra hard drive now), or get the iPhone that just came out, or even wait for the rumored full-screen iPod Video to come out soon.
