World First: LG’s watch mobile phone

As convergent technology becomes more and more popular, LG have decided to push their luck with the first ever watch-like video mobile phone.

The LG - GD910, has a 3.63-centimetre screen and is 13.9 millimetres thick, so this handset has successfully been scaled down to the size of a designer watch. To make a call, there is a touchscreen dialing system similar to that on the iPhone. But smaller.

It comes with a built-in camera, MP3 player and speaker as expected from a new mobile on the market.

With the use of a high speed internet connection, you will even be able to make video calls, though your wrist may get tired if you hold it in front of your face for long enough.

The phone has a Bluetooth connection, and recognises voices. It can even transform text to speech.

The LG - GD910 is compatible with WCDMA technologies and will also support 7.2 Mbps HSDPA data systems.

While a definite release date has not been finalised, it is expected to be on sale across the European markets sometime next year.
