LG shows off watch phone concept

Make calls from your wrist


12 February 2008 11:52 GMT / By Stuart Miles

LG has shown off a concept watch phone at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

The phone, which seems to be inspired by Dick Tracy, will allow you to carry a mobile phone around with you on your wrist.

Although details are sketchy as to the specs of the watch, LG has told Pocket-lint that everything is controlled either via voice or a roller at the bottom of the screen similar to how the company's Shine handset works.

Other tech that will be included is Bluetooth so you can connect a headset to make calls.

The Korean company says that you will be able to talk directly to the microphone built-in to the watch if you want.

With no current plans to launch the phone watch at present, put this in the nice, but not yet box.
