The over-the-ear style headset features a flip-down monocle display that can be used to watch videos or surf the web. With 4GB (Nikon Media Port UP300) or 8GB (Nikon Media Port UP300x) of onboard storage, the Nikon Media Port UP headset can download data from the web (via a WiFi connection) to enjoy later or just play video and music. Integrated motion sensors allow for hands-free webpage navigation media playback controls through head-motions (up, down, left, and right).
The Nikon Media Port UP headset brings your favorite media with you for on-the-road pleasure. Because, you know, real life is just so boring.
The Nikon Media Port UP300 ($580) and UP300x might not catch on in the mass market, but it's definitely an interesting idea. Now, if this Borg-style headset were to sport a Bluetooth connection to link up with a smartphone, would anyone use it?
