Epoq watch, phone, camera, MP3 and video player is enough to make Dick Tracy jealous

watchphone.JPG

We've seen a few cell phone / watch combos before, but most of them look like someone put a phone and a watch in the microwave, and heated them until they melted together. The Epoq EGP-WP88 is an unlocked quad band GSM phone, with an OLED screen that displays stylish analog watch hands in the normal timekeeping mode, and switches over to display your contact lists during phone operation. They even managed to squeeze in a 1.3 MP camera, a video player and MP3 music player, and made it water resistant to 50 meters. As if that weren't quite enough, it also has stereo Bluetooth capability for both the phone and the MP3 player if you don't want to use the tiny built in speaker and mic Dick Tracy style.

While this all might sound like just another pie in the sky concept watch, Lightoftomorrow expects to start shipping them for $550 on March 1st.

Now, if only it could record video....
