Spy Wear: LG to launch multi-function touchscreen wrist phone

lgwrstphn8492.jpgAs most cell phone manufacturers have found out, it's pretty hard to top Apple's iPhone. But with a simple change in form factor that is decidedly old school sci-fi, Korea's LG may have a winner in the LG-GD910 touchscreen wrist phone. Originally shown off as a concept device at CES 2008, LG plans to unveil a working 3G version of the wrist phone at CES 2009.

The phone also features a tiny camera for video recording or conferencing, text to speech functionality and the ability to play MP3 files. No price has been announced, and it's anyone's guess as to whose fingers will be tiny enough to operate such a small touchscreen, but we look forward to more information when the conference starts next week.

This is great, I can't wait to get one, but I hope it don't take years to get the price level down to afford one! But I sure think, it's going to be the next best idea since--- "Corn Flakes"!

They should do an ad showing someone placing a video call, a second call interrupts, and its from Dick Tracy.
