If you're one of those people who hasn't worn a watch since you got a cell phone, that may soon change with the imWatch. The cool, tech-savvy watch connects to your iPhone or Android via bluetooth and lets you text, send emails, tweet and check Facebook with the click of a button. You can even make and receive phone calls thanks to the built-in speakers of the imWatch.
The do-it-all watch has a 240 pixel face and 4GB of storage space. The super cool watch will cost you, though. The imWatch comes in two series: I'm Color, which comes in red, yellow, blue green, pink, black and white and costs about $354 USD, and the I'm Jewel collection which comes in gold, pink gold, white gold, titanium, or encrusted with diamonds and ranges from $853 to $21,325 USD.
Whichever imWatch you choose, you'll surely be the envy of all of your friends who are still playing around on their cell phones -- so 2010.
