The Vyne

If you enjoy wearing your gadgets instead of merely holding them, then you need to check out the the Vyne. One of many inventions to help you wear your portable device, the Vyne is a belt-like flexible plastic strip with a holder at one end for your iPhone, iPod touch or other similarly sized device. The other end has a smooth curve designed to wrap gently around your neck.

Place the Vyne around your neck, attach your iPhone and you can watch movies hands-free while you walk into oncoming traffic or rest on the couch. Pricing and availability is not yet known but one thing is for sure- there is little doubt that you will turn heads when you don the accessory in public. You may also notice an alarming increase in the number of friends who now wear an "I'm with Stupid" T-shirt in your presence. Then again, if you are an influencer, you may just kick off the hottest trend of 2011.

I'm surprised I haven't seen this yet here in Japan.

What is this for? Just to *really* ensure the wearer never gets laid?

This, a bluetooth headset, and a belt clip would be all we'd need for a Revenge of the Nerds remake! :)

Seriously, I'm not hating, I'm glad people get excited about gadgets, but having people walking around airports watching movies or yaking on their phone while watching a WebEx *IS* going to get annoying - at least now *some* hand use is required. If this catches on...oh man, they can be shoving a Big Mac at the same time! :)

Bad idea for FaceTime too -- that's not a good angle for ANYbody.

Wow and I thought it was difficult to hold my head up in bed to watch TV. Not anymore! ; - )

I will be the dork on the treadmill streaming Netflix.

Sorry, it's gonna happen.

Won't use it outside that venue though.

Uh, if you're on a treadmill, you don't you just plunk the iOS device on the infopanel/shelf in front of you and watch?

I do this while walking, and lately (using some nice bluetooth moto S305 headphones), I leave the device on the shelf while running too.

I'm sure there will be plenty of idiots who use it while driving a car or riding a bicycle.
