JKOnTheRun is blogging from CES 2009 about LG’s new 3G Touch phone watch and, I have to say, it finally makes sense to me.
I’ve been wondering when someone was going to produce one ever since Bluetooth headsets became practical…I mean, nobody wants to talk into their wrist like Dick Tracy (or into the back of their hand like on Babylon 5).
I have yet to dig into the specs, but I see it has a music player, at least. I’m against feature-bloat, in general, but I already run headphones up my sleeve when I’m working out. Voice recognition gives it that added future-y fee — and I assume that also works with bluetooth — so that you don’t have to tap your wrist like an old Casio calculator watch. I’m also assuming that there is no email or such, so this can’t replace my Blackberry. (I wonder if it will voice-type messages…hmm…)
