Still holding out hope for one of those Dick Tracy-style two-way wrist communicators? Perhaps it's time to lower your standards a touch. Neutrano's new Photowatch eschews that whole video talk thing, in favor of some good, old-fashioned wrist-top digital photo album goodness.

The watch holds between 40 and 160 photos, depending on the model. It's rechargeable via USB, and should get about eight hours on a single charge--not a whole heck of a lot for a watch, but at least it's got a handy built-in time keeping method, being that it's a, you know, watch. The Photowatch is PC and Mac compatible, and according to Neutrano, transferring photos is a simple matter of a plugging and playing, no software required. The watch's "analog" style hand design overlays the photo of your choice, for handy time-telling capabilities. Says the company's president, Gary Rotman, of the device, "Traditionally, the wristwatch is one of the top 10 holiday gift items. Last Christmas, the digital photo frame was the number one selling consumer product in North America...The Photowatch is a perfect example of this unique and natural integration." Makes sense to us. For Mothers' Day, why not combine two things she already has into one thing she doesn't really need?

The Photowatch is available now from Brookstone, for a cool $100.
