Is it just me, or do many gear companies seem to be trying to come up with the next "Best thing since sliced bread" gizmo?

Apeks has their STATUS regs that tell you when your reg needs service. Give me a break.

The Oceanic computer mask. Sorry, I just don't get this either. Sounds cool, but I don't see this becoming mainsteam for diving.

Then this I3 thing. I have to agree with Will. If you are inflating & deflating during the dive, then you probably have a bouyancy problem.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for new technology. I think LED lights will eventually replace just about everything being used today. Both above & below water. Why? Because it's a more robust design that gets more powerful each year.
