Believe it or not, JATY is far from being the first gadget maker to
think of stuffing a breathalyzer into something
completely unrelated (like a
wristwatch), but this do-it-all navigator really has included everything save for the kitchen sink (and an N64 emulator, but you get the point). Specs wise, you're looking at a 7-inch touchscreen, 533MHz CPU, WinCE 5.0, 64MB of NAND Flash / SDRAM, an SD expansion slot, built-in GPS / T-DMB receivers, USB connectivity, integrated speakers and support for MP3, WMV, OGG, AC3, MPEG1/2/4, DivX, XviD, AVI and JPG formats (just to name a few). Chances are you'll never see this on US soil, so you're looking at a flight to Seoul in addition to ?296,000 ($294) in order to procure one.

That is seriously ingenious- better than pacing around until you feel like you're "good to go" and not as embarrassing as having a little stand-alone breathalyzer in your door pocket. :)
When can we get it on a Garmin?
...
How is that unrelated?
You use navigation to drive... If you're over the limit to drive, you shouldn't drive...
I don't know, if I had 2 shots about 1.5 hours ago, I'd like to know if I'm legal yet. Drinking and driving is bad, yes, but I socially drink 2~3 drinks over 3~4 hr period. Don't hate.
And it's always funny to see Korean on engadget. Makes me miss the food (and tech and cheap stuff)
Where do you blow into this thing..?
why is there an iphone in there?
That is obviously an iBrethalyzer.
Exactly what I thought.
Yeah! It's as if every news that's been posted lately is iPhone related in one way or another.
lol check out the skull and crossbones
Anyone read Korean? What does it say next to the skull and crossbones?
it says "warning."
the lines underneath say:
"500,000 to 2,000,000 won ($500 - $2,000) fine & possible criminal prosecution"
"Please Do Not Drive!"
(Over 0.05%)
Buttons say:
"A link to related laws" & "End"
When you blow over the limit, it automatically displays all muchie-related POI's.
(or munchie-)
is that a 1 or a 7? :p I once worked on a guy who had a BA of 453, and he was still awake and breathing.
it reads DANGER
i wouldnt think a breathalyzer on a watch is unrelated either. you'd always have it with you.
Hopefully if you're blowing a 0.12% BAC you don't need a breathalizer to tell you you're took f'd up to drive...
If this was wired into the ignition that would rock.
Is it just me or does the reader look allot like a phone people are still queing up for?
Actually its just you.
Based off my experience in Korea, this thing will be used by businessmen in suits who have been drinking since 2pm on a Tuesday, to see if they are drunk enough to go home to their wife, or if they should shack up in a love motel with one of the girls from the room clubs where he just paid $500 for a bottle of $60 jack daniels.
it should just give you directions to the nearest police station and/or emergency room if you blow over the limit.
