Myvu Shades

Myvu Shades look like sunglasses, but they double as a personal video screen. They let you watch a video played on an iPod on a bigger screen than an iPod has. They can even be used while you are walking, running, or otherwise engaged because you can see over the video that is playing if you want. It uses two 320x240 displays like Solo Plus and the battery life on Myvu Shades is 10 hours.

The drawback to the Myvu shades is that the shades don't work with some people's facial structures. It is suggested that you try them out before you buy them.http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/myvu-shades-301-ipod-edition/http://www.amazon.com/review/R3I0L1VXE5J44F/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R3I0L1VXE5J44FMyvu Crystals, which are the counterpart of the shades, cost $180, while Myvu Shades have come down in price to around $70.http://www.techbargains.com/news_displayItem.cfm/164332?r1=1
