RLudlowe Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 LG Touch Watch Phone LG Electronics made a splash in Vegas when it unveiled what it claims is the world's first market-ready touch-screen watch phone. That's right, a phone you wear on your wrist. "You want to think James Bond, 'Get Smart,' [censored] Tracy. It's all that and more," LG spokesman Martin Valdez said. "You'll never have to worry about losing your phone anymore. The tiny, 3G-capable gadget has a 1.4-inch screen but packs a host of features such as Bluetooth, text messaging, still and video camera and a built-in speaker for playing music files.

freddy333 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I saw it demoed on tv over the weekend. It is essentially a mini iphone on a strap. Strikes me as just another 'look what I can do' gadget that I do not need. And if you are tired of having to listen to other peoples cell conversations in restaurants & on airplanes, just wait until people start having to shout at their wrist instead of into a handset next to their mouth.

I imagine it has bluetooth so you can use an earpiece if you want - if it doesn't the next update will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avitt Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 They showed these at the CTIA show a year ago...But I don't think that they had cameras, and they certainly weren't "market ready". I recall they weren't bad looking, with several nice strap options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I wonder how long that teeny tiny little battery will keep that thing running... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
