LG was the first big name presenter at the Consumer Electronic Show and they started off with a Bam! Pow! Wham! as they introduced the LG Watch Phone. Holy Timekeeper, Batman, it’s finally here. Call Dick Tracy, quick!
What we have read about in comic books for the ages has come true. The LG Watch Phone wasn’t a big secret, but now it is official: the Watch Phone will go into production. With a 1.43-inch touchscreen, where you can type messages, make phone calls and also play MP3s, it’s packed into just 13.9mm thickness. The phone is expected to roll out in Europe in the later half of this year.
This chic, wearable phone is a follow-up to the prototype that LG introduced at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2008 and includes a number of upgrades, including a full touchscreen interface, 3G capabilities and video calling. Most importantly, this watch phone will actually be available for purchase.
“Our new 3G Touch Watch Phone is stylish, sophisticated and the height of technology, but it’s also undeniably fun. How else can you reenact those scenes from your favorite sci-fi or spy movie?” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The Watch Phone also demonstrates LG’s technological leadership, proving that we can bring all the components in today’s most advanced mobile phones down to a very small scale.”
