Photo Viewer Wrist warmer

I bought one of these keyring photo viewer, it was only a tenner so I thought "yeah why not, might be able to hack that into something cool".

So it turns up and the first thing I do with it? Pull it apart and stick it in a wrist warmer :)

Step 1 Pull it apart

First step as always is to pull it apart. There are 2 small screws holding the back on, remove those then prise the case apart.
There are now 2 more screws on the circuit board which need undoing. Undo (or in my case, trash with nail clippers) them and take the board out.

I have a question if u really want to see some picture on your wrist warmer why wouldn't you just buy a mp4 watch? like this one:

neat. what's the resolution of the thing's display (how many pixels)?

i bought one of these frames, and am having trouble... the included software requires a specific version of the mars semiconductor chip's driver to be installed on the PC... however, apparently, some newer copies of XP (maybe those with sp2 included) have a newer version of the driver preinstalled, and the software for transferring photos wont work... I am guessing on some of this, based on my experience with it... if anyone knows a different reason for the dreaded "driver version not match" error, please let me know... any solution to the problem will make you my hero, forever.

I suppose you could use this to display a to-do list. This is really cool, nice job.

well that was my other idea, i'm forever writing todo notes on the back of my hand. I'm trying to find a small flat PDA that allows you to scrawl notes on instead. So far all i've found is the Rexx PDA, but theyre still way too expensive to start pulling apart!

You could try a Fossil / Abacus WristPDA. They run PalmOS and have a grayscale touchscreen you can write on. They're quite old (cheap) and easy to find in eBay ( here's one, but bid at your own risk ).

Are these not otherwise known as 'sweat bands'? E.g. whan you're playing tennis they keep the sweat off your grip? L
