LG to announce wristwatch phone at CES

Grab your trenchcoat, fedora, and drum-fed machine gun because LG has cooked up the perfect watch to help you bust crime and keep in touch with those you need to be in touch with. One advantage you’ll have over Dick Tracy however, is that the LG-GD910 is a 3G enabled wristwatch phone and it has an MP3 player. The new watch/phone is also said to have text-to-speech capabilities (useful for such a gadget), voice dialing, Bluetooth and a front-facing camera for video conferencing. As with most nifty novelties, this will likely make its debut in Europe before it comes to the US (if it ever does). What do you all think – useful, or pointless?

    Everybody wants this watchphone like everyone wants a message. It makes you “special”. Like the goofy little silly names and pictures you produce for yourself – we can still see the pc you are on….know who you are….and quite frankly – you’re still the same lame prick we’ve known all along. But, with a catchy name like “Hardass” and a picture of Cartman – you’re pretty darn cool!

    Admit it – you’ll hock your He-Man dolls for one of these toys…..just like you do for one of my 8×10 signed/numbered pictures….cannot help yourself…

    I wouldn’t buy one. I can possibly see the watch platform as a web browser, chronograph, calculator,mp3 player, and flash drive, but a phone? NO.

    I love my MSN Direct Abacus2006. Too bad Microsoft is actually MYOPIC about really cool technology. This stupid “Phone Watch” can’t hold a candle to MSN Direct despites all its bugs. “Phone Watches” belong in ‘Get Smart’ reruns, not the successful busy office.

    …Let me ‘elaborate’ (e.g., bash Micro-twit, er, -soft) a little further with this example: …We’ve been using Windows-NT flavored desktop OSs since 1996, and there’s STILL no application that will inspect a user’s profile on the machine to see if it’s corrupt – or WHY.
