Your real-life Pip Boys now come in two flavors - visually accurate, with few functions; or fully-featured with a different design.

You can actually purchase this sucker, which weighs in at more than a pound and measures 4.5 by 3.5 by 3 inches (a whopper, in other words). But the Zypad WR1100 does include a GPS receiver, electronic compass, biometric fingerprint sensors, and a position detector that switches the thing off automatically whenever your arm hangs down by your side.

It does not, however, pick up Galaxy News or Enclave Radio. So while the Zypad may not be good for your cosplay outing, in case of actual nuclear holocaust, it will help you navigate the wastelands. Provided the GPS satellites are still in orbit and functioning.

lol looks like the 50's cellphone of wrist computers
Sounds less like a general purpose computer and more like a full featured GPS.
Id buy it and paint it OD green. Then id attach a speaker to it and walk around my town with enclave radio and GNR blaring.

But really Id buy it if it were a bit bigger with a touch screen.
Real Pipboys were handheld..

Maybe that's why the chosen one can get some but not the Vault 101 'Vault Dweller'. The fear of getting smacked in the face by the clumsy, ridiculous PipBoy 3000 means that even the prostitutes will only sleep with you in the literal sense.

this device,
get rid of the "cheesy-military-green-that-looks-like-transformer-toy"

then should make great sales in all levels
*Duct tapes his Tablet to his arm*

w00t! Off to kill Raiders!
Connect that up to a power glove and ur good 2 go.
Now... they can make it larger to cover more surface area of the arm... have little compartments (size of a quarter) with memory, chips etc, with wires going in between each compartment... multiple compartments so that it goes around the arm better, all you would need then is a bigger screen for it.
That thing will only do one thing if I bought it.
operate as the sonar in the Alien movies.
