LG Launches Watch Phone In India
roh2cool writes "If you are a watch freak and also happen to be a fan of ultra rare (and expensive) gadgets, this might just interest you. The LG GD910 watch phone looks like a normal watch – except for the fact that it can double up as your mobile phone when needed. 'It is quite thin at just 13.9mm and packs in 3G and Video Calling capabilities as well. The phone is quite stylish and the front fascia is covered by scratch-proof tempered glass. It comes with a Bluetooth headset so you don’t have to keep talking like David Hasselhoff talked to his super-car KITT in the “Knight Rider” series.'"
... the obligatory Dick Tracy mention.
Phones in India are normally cheaper than here in Canada, but 49,990 rupees is 1138.21 CAD, you would have to be stupid to buy this phone.
Anybody know when it comes to Canada?

... And, who wants video calls in such a tiny screen? ...
Honest, it's the small camera in this video watch. No, really, it's bigger in person.
At 12:00, go to the dollar store, find the biggest one dollar regular watch with a band they have. Now buy one buck worth of velcro strips in the same store. Velcro your regular phone to the front of the watch. That leaves three bucks for lunch. Show off to your buds at work all afternoon your new high tech wristwatch cellphone ;)
When your website in India gets slashdotted and you call tech support, who answers the phone?
I fully expect Apple to release an iWatch. Something with a super high resolution 1/2 inch screen where I can read graphic novels, listen to mp3's, watch high definition movies, while talking to grandma on the phone and swaping recipes with her online because I deserve to be one of the elite. Oh yeah, and it comes with a minature black turtle neck and levis case so I don't scratch the screen.
