CES 2008: LG Watch Mobile Phone
Here’s the deal with watch phones. They sound futuristic-chic on paper, but they’re just not practical. LG’s concept is a bit different than previous attempts. It has a built-in speaker, but it also has integrated Bluetooth so you can can gab without having to hold your wrist up to your mouth.
You can also view text messages on the concept watch’s huge display (I asked if it was OLED but no one knew the answer). There’s even a little scroll wheel on the bottom of the watch so you can send canned or full text messages, as well as call up contacts. I also found out that the concept rides on GSM, which means one would be able to insert a standard SIM card and then start making calls–if you could buy one.
We say “bring this concept to market.” Judging by the looks of disappointment on showgoers’ faces when they learned that the LG Watch Phone wasn’t for sale, we think it could be the must-have timepiece for gadget geeks.
