This is the future of portable media? Live Digitally reviews the Eyetop DVD system, a portable DVD setup with a pair of glasses with a bulbous ‘virtual 14-inch’ display mounted over the right eye. Live Digitally is pretty generous to the system, calling it a “well-made product,” despite also calling it “hard to watch” and that it made them nauseous. That’s sort of like acknowledging the handiwork of the cobbler who made the boots that are kicking you in the teeth, but hey—some people want the future really badly and I’m not about to fault them for that.
I’ve played around with the Eyetop system for just a few minutes and it didn’t seem very “well-built” to me at all (albeit after a few hundred previous hands futzed around with it at a trade show), so that sort of takes out any reason to drop 600 bucks on it to me. But maybe you’re celibate or something.
