LG watch phone enters HSDPA era

Darius Chang | Dec 29, 2008

Step aside Dick Tracy. The first generation of watch phones were already quite impressive, managing to squeeze in mini-cameras and expansion slots into a form factor barely larger than a tea bag. LG's latest creation, the LG-GD910, ups the stakes by including a 3G HSDPA radio under the hood, giving it video call capability.

The 1.43-inch touchscreen might be a mite too small for a virtual number pad, but with text-to-speech and music playback features, this is an amazing piece of technology. We expect more details to emerge when CES 2009 rolls around, but in the meantime, we keep out fingers crossed that this watch will also be water-resistant as well.

It's official: the geeks have taken over! Not that that's a bad thing, mind you.

Am I the only one that thinks of a high tech Dick Tracy when I see this lol. Video calling, tiny buttons, music (possible fm radio).... this is so awesomely over the top. Massively so.

Great job LG... big tech upgrade from calculator watches.

I may have to steal this from junior93 lol
