Specs appeal

As if it isn't bad enough, trying to avoid collisions with other passers by who are using their mobiles, who don't give you even so much as a second glance, let alone an apology should they bump in to you when you're walking along the streets, now there's a new gadget on the market.

Orange and Samsung have now collaborated and come up with Micro-Optical glasses. They cost £200 and enable you to watch your favourite films, new bulletins or even play video games whilst wearing them.

Apparently though, these visors have been designed to see above and below the image, so that they can still walk along or even make a cup of tea whilst wearing them.

They're on sale in France now, Britain will follow shortly selling them from later on in the year. Personally I think that they're a bit of a daft idea. If people have enough trouble concentrating on where they're going when they're just on the phone.. how will they manage when watching a film whilst taking a stroll?
