Pioneer Unveils 50-inch HDTV
HDTVs: they're everywhere! The wave of high-definition television sets descending upon us grows by the day, and Pioneer certainly isn't going to miss this bandwagon. They've unveiled their new Pioneer Elite Pro-FHD1 Plasma TV, which besides having a goofy name clocks in at 50 inches and can scale as high as 1080p. The picture is crisp and clear, thanks in part to the ultra tiny .576 mm pixels on the set, and partially because Pioneer just rocks. Be prepared to take out a second mortgage to acquire one, however; the set itself runs for $10,000. But if you're looking for a 1080p set in a smaller-than-enormous size, then Pioneer is the way to go.

iWatch: Time for a New iPod
Just in case you're unhappy with how large you MASSIVE iPod nano is, say hello to the iWatch. While this design isn't actually in production at this time, it's an extremely neat concept, featuring 10 GB of music storage and Bluetooth capabilities so users can listen to their music without being physically attatched to their arms (which would look really weird). While I would prefer an adjustable band for those of us with larger-than-normal wrists, you have to admit that the solid white bezel/band looks extremely slick and stylish, as we would expect of an Apple product. Let's hope Apple notices Peter Burns' design so that we may one day enjoy the pleasures of wrist-mounted audio.
