Sony Ericsson LiveView for Android devices

[Dominic92]

I did a review on my blog www.gadgenator.blogspot.com and it's now available to buy in the UK & France.

Does anyone know if we will be getting it in South Africa before christmas or a website that we can buy it from for SA?

Will it work on a Android 2.1 HTC Hero?

I would like to get one. Looks very cool. How is the battery life though?
Here's a demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nv_T3eL-ts

Should make for a nice watch when you use the strap.

Damn. Discussion about it here doesn't sound too good either: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793941

From that thread:
It's not waterproof, which is a big problem because I'm going to New Zealand in winter and getting wet is unavoidable. I suppose it can deal with a little rain but still, now I can't trust it to survive.
Also seems useless as a watch because you need to press a button to wake the screen, just like with a smartphone. And the time and date is only displayed in text, no nice watch interface or anything.
And on that strap, it wont look very stylish either.

I hope someone makes a better version of this, it could be an awesome thing to own and replace a watch.
