There was a bit of digital binoculars discussion that cam up quite recently in a thread here. This item showed up on my Google News feed, so I thought I'd pass it along.
It looks like there is a ways to go yet, but with this thing being powered by Android, and thus having access to the Google App store, apps like the excellent iBird Pro and many other nature oriented apps, may point a future direction. Some will find more appeal here, and others quite a bit less, but the door to digital binoculars seems to be opened (however primitive things like this may be), and we will go (or perhaps eventually be dragged) down the hallway.

Binocular may not be the best suited name here either
