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.'"
It costs over one thousand dollars. And, who wants video calls in such a tiny screen?
Just by googling "watch phone" I found many different waistphones for US$ 250 or less.
In soviet russia the government regulates the companies.
The phone on your wrist is a decent idea which is severely flawed for several reasons.
1: Extreme lack of space for all that needs to go in it.
2: Lack of space to dial numbers.
3: Kinda annoying to charge, especially due to the fact that it will need to happen often.
Also, I fail to see how this is newsworthy, dealextreme.com offers several watch phones.

Also, the link isn't only slashdotted, the page is even suspended for using to much bandwidth.
