It’s hard to fathom the twisted minds of men that can conceive and create a device of this perfection. In your Victorian alternate timeline, it is still 2009. While Apple exists, it has come to resemble something only Snow White’s dark queen could conjure.

Yes it is real. It is a fully functional iPod of the first generation. The eyeball? The wheel. Created by the mad, mad men of SteamGearLab to thrill, entertain and terrify your friends. Here is their description.

The “eye-Pod” can be worn on the wrist via the leather cuff, or placed on its custom Victrola base. All functionality of the iPod remain intact an a hidden USB cord retracts from the base to either a wall charger or your computer. There are hidden pressure plates that when touched send a strobing “static charge” into the quartz crystals on either side of the magnified viewing portal.

My thanks to BoingBoing for bringing us this news.
