Watch Out for This Watch Phone from Chinavision
Have we hit our limit? This new watch has so many bells and whistles it may be too heavy to wear. Let’s start with the phone. The dialing is done via the keypad on the back lit wrist strap. Talking is either straight audio with a built-in mike, or via a bluetooth earpiece also provided. Talk time is up to 150 min. Standby is as much as 100 hours!
It has a 1.3-inch display and it’s a touch screen. Right. I guess that means you can only touch the screen because you couldn’t actually manipulate something in that small space! There is a mini stylus handy that could help when using your organizer or one of the several games. It hides away on the watch so you can keep track of it. There is an MP3 player to listen to tunes wirelessly. Supported formats include: MP3, WMA, WAV & AMR.
Besides a still camera, their is also a video camera… with sound! The screen resolution comes in at a whopping 128×160. Shucks! What did you expect from something that small! It’s screen palette is impressive at 260,000 colors. And yes, you can watch movies. Download them via the USB power and data transfer to the flash drive or load them on an SD card (2GB max).
My one complaint is that I couldn’t find out if it actually told the time! This Dick Tracy special is available from the Chinavision website for about $185 US.
