When I was a kid, I always got a shiver of excitement reading the weekend
Dick Tracy strip because of the title panel, with those four tiny words pointing at Tracy's wrist: "Two-way wrist radio." And because I'm generally happy to see things from comics appear in real life (except for the ones where
Martians come to Earth and enslave us all -- not cool), I'm pleased to see that I, too, will be able to call for backup when Flattop and Pruneface bust out of the joint. These
walkie talkie watches will set you back $109 altogether, but you'll be able to stay in touch with your fellow gumshoe over a 3 km range (just under 2 miles).
