“The first in a range of new products, is a beautifully crafted ladies hand-bag…” Sorry, but that looks like a throw back to a 1970′s cheap travel bag.

How much does this thing weigh?

What are recorders for? Set your timer, don’t try to watch TV on the train, let alone in the car! (Visions of someone trying to drive and watch TV at the same time, visual GPS units are bad enough!)

And I can really see how your drunk friends at a bar are really going to get a lot out of your showing them your favourite photos or videos.

The only thing I can think this may be useful for is more walking talking advertising to subject those around the bearer.

I can’t wait for the Wallet TV, Bowl TV, and TV TV brand extensions.

Also, I just saw on the site that if you like the bag but don’t want the TV, you can buy the bag only for only 150 pounds! ;D

Yeah, I have to agree that this bag wouldn’t stand up to much wear/tear without the screen breaking. And for the price (295 pounds, regularly = $450 USD), you might as well just buy an iPhone or a video iPod!

I like the idea of being able to scroll pics on the bag, but considering the small fortune this thing costs, I’ll just get one of the ones with plastic slots for photos!

Well, I just double checked the date on the calendar because I thought for sure this was an April Fools Day joke!!

Even my two teen girls think it is pretty stupid!!

Good gravy–how long did the idiot who invented this think the screen would last?
I am very rough with my purses, going so far as to have had a horse step on my good coach ™ purse flap 25 years ago!! Oh well, that’s what I get when at a ranch!!
As I put the purse down on the ground, the silly thing fell over and the flap wound up on the horse’s side of the fence…nice horseshoe imprint…

Don’t think any TV purse would stand up to that kind of abuse—OR the crap and clutter a mom carries in her purse when the kids are little!! or pre teens/teens…and then what I wind up carrying for the DH, too!!

If that doesn’t spell the end of the handbag as anything but a childrens’ toy, I don’t know what does. Buggy whip!

I could see this being useful for a transit commuter who wants to discreetly watch DVDs to and from work, but whoever designed this apparently didn’t take into account the amount of abuse most handbags and totes suffer. That screen would not survive long.

The sad thing is I’ll admit that’d I actually want one of these if it could hold a laptop too. I spend a lot of time on public transport and editing photos. Oh dear.

Oh no, that’s what ipods were invented for!

We didn’t put a disclaimer on this one … so just to ward off potential comments …

We do NOT want you to buy this. We just want you to laugh!

It’s time to watch less TV, not bring it with us everywhere we go (It’s called programming for a reason)!!!
