One year ago, in CES 2008 tradeshow, the company LG showed us a prototype of its future Watch Phone. In those days it was like a diamond in a showcase which we can only see but cant touch it.
This year this has changed, and that future prototype, is now a working prototype which has been displayed during CES 2009.
The LG GD910 is a 3G Touch Watch Phone that includes:
- Touch-screen: Despite the screen only measures 1.43 inches diagonally it seems easy to dial numbers on the tiny dial pad or write text on the virtual T9 keypad.
- Voice commands.
- Voice calls.
- Video calls: The watch features 7.2 Mbps 3G HSDPA compatibility, enabling high-speed data transmission and video phone calls using the built-in camera.
- MP3 music player: The sound comes from the speakers on the watch but it is possible to use a stereo bluetooth headset.
- Messaging (SMS, EMS, MMS).
- Test-to-speech capabilities: it reads text messages and other information out loud for even greater convenience.
- Phonebook and Scheduler.
Besides all this features it is, of course, able to keep accurate time. The phone is set to go on sale in Europe sometime in 2009 in a long range of colors.
Enough talking, see this video.
