The Watch-Phone

This is really hot! This is not the first time useful electronics have been reduced to be able to fit on the wrist, but this is certainly an improvement on the watch-radio,watch-calculator, etc.
The LG-GD910 comes in a curved metallic case that straps onto the wrist like a watch, uses a 1.43-inch touch screen, and moves data at snappy HSDPA speeds.

It will offer other features, including a camera for video calls and snapshots, a text-to-speech engine for voice dialing and composing text messages, a built-in MP3 player, and Bluetooth. Plus it is water-proof!!!!

BlueTooth..... Watches


Bluetooth wristwatches are all the rage! Sony Ericsson hopes so, because it has a vested interest. The JV has announced its latest model, the MBW-150, complete with AVRCP support for wireless control of your music phone. This follow up to the MBW-100 comes in three styles (Classic, Music, and Executive, pictured left to right) that all perform the standard caller ID / SMS notification thing, while tossing in the highly-desirable ability to change tracks and adjust volume as well as view track info on the face. No pricing or release details were immediately released.

Garmin Mobile 20 handy for smart phones


In this day and age, buying a standalone GPS device isn't the only way to get navigation help.

If you have a cell phone or smart phone, you can add software or GPS accessories to turn your mobile into a handheld navigation device. One such solution is the Garmin Mobile 20.

Unlike some of the other car kits we've seen, such as the Palm GPS Navigator Car Kit, the Mobile 20 works with a number of Palm and Windows Mobile devices (Garmin also offers a separate accessory for BlackBerrys) and offers turn-by-turn text- and voice-guided directions and acts as a hands-free speaker system.

The setup and hands-free integration isn't quite as sophisticated as the Palm accessory, but it delivers accurate directions as well as some nice extras, such as traffic alerts and weather updates. The Garmin Mobile 20 is available now, but it's on the pricey side at $299.99.
