LG Electronics made a splash at the Consumer Electronics Show when it introduced a fully functional, touch-screen wristwatch cellphone.
The watch-phone is expected to be available for sale in the second half of the year.
It looks a little clunky from the photos displayed, but has many features, such as:
- a built-in speaker for text-to-speech
- an MP3 player
- a Bluetooth compatibility camera which can be used for videoconferencing
I am not sure that I would want to watch TV on my wrist, but I do like the idea of all-in-one gadgets. How handy to have devices such as GPS, phone, camera, video recorder, all bundled together, like my fetish object, the Nokia N96.
Why carry 10 gadgets when one can do it all?
As well, LG and all of the major television manufacturers are expected to push 3-D technology at this year’s CES, according to a story on CBC.
That could open up all kinds of opportunities to develop more interactive games …. combine that with a Wii (with better graphics of course!) ….
