Now that everybody’s talking about—but nobody’s buying—smartwatches, it’s time for the next thing. The smaller thing. The ring thing:

Smarty Ring is a 13mm-wide stainless steel ring with an LED screen, Bluetooth 4.0, and an accompanying smartphone app. The ring pairs with a smartphone and acts as a remote control and notification receiver.
The ring supposedly has a 24-hour battery life. Here’s video:

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lo… oh, hold on, somebody’s ringing me.
