Because I already have enough freaking gadgets. Because I already carry around three different devices that can remember all my contact info. Because I never check that contact info anyway. Because I should just give the damn 200 bucks or whatever this thing costs to Greenpeace or something.

Yet nonetheless I crave it. And dig the hilariously over-the-top ad copy on the web site of Fossil, which makes this Palm OS-based delight:

Ever since the comic book hero Dick Tracy first strapped on his amazing wrist radio six decades ago, science fiction fans have eagerly anticipated the day when such fantastic gadgetry might become reality. Now, thanks to the Wrist PDA with PALM OS®, their wait is finally over.

Sometimes I hate being such a geek. I am such a sucker for this sort of landfill.

Somebody please email me now and tell me not to buy this thing. Christ almighty.
