LG watch phone enters HSDPA era


CES
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.
