CES 2009: 'Real' Pip-Boy revealed, Vault-Tec stock soars

by Alexander Sliwinski on Jan 8th 2009 7:46PM

In the bowels of CES, Engadget discovered the first sign that the nuclear holocaust foretold in the Fallout series is approaching. Yes, what you see above is a Pip-Boy prototype. Sure, Universal Display Corporation hasn't given a name to its 4-inch, flexible, wrist-worn OLED display (designed for the ~~Brotherhood of Steel~~ military), but we know exactly what we'll be using this handy thing for in the future -- well, those of us who survive, at least.

Perhaps we can put this in a way that'll convey the seriousness of this situation:

Step 1: Pip-Boy invented.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Nuclear holocaust.

Check out a video of the device after the break. Start saving for your vault cot now!

Guys c'mon it's 2009, human beings have been at each others throats for... how long now?

I've already collected 200,000 bottle caps! I'm going to be a king among muties! I hope the end comes soon... so this thread will end. Seriously, go post that crap on a cnn/msnbc/faux blog rather than screw up this article about a cool and frivolous gadget.
