Cell phone watch: calling's all in the wrist

phonewatch_w.jpg

If you're a regular reader of SCI FI Tech, you know that we loves us some geeky watches. There's just something about carrying some fancy tech around on your wrist that we can't get enough of, which is why we love the F88 Wrist Watch Mobile Phone. Well, love from afar — we don't think we'd actually want to wear one in public. Just as the name implies, the F88 is a mobile phone mixed with a watch, although curiously the cell phone aspect hasn't been shrunk down to watch size. Rather, they took a normal-size cell phone and gave it a wristband, which we suppose would be much easier than all the work it would take to physically shrink the phone. Like any modern cell phone, of course this comes loaded with a hearty 3-megapixel camera, although shooting photos from your wrist can't be the easiest way to get a good shot. In any case, if you're buying this thing it isn't for any feature other than its watchlike characteristics, so we'll spare you the details. Except for the price: about $1,111, and it isn't available here in the states. Perhaps someday you'll be able to make a call from your wrist. Someday…
