Competition in the consumer electronics arena can be brutal. First LG announces a groundbreaking Watch Phone to show at CES 2009 and sure enough, some other company tops that by making a whole range of them available now. That company would be Phenom Communications, who have managed to pair an unlocked GSM cellphone and an MP3/MP4 player and pack it inside a touchscreen equipped wristwatch.
Their “Special Ops” watch (pictured) seems to be their most fully-featured model and comes with a 1.3-inch TFT touchscreen display, video camera, Bluetooth, USB, MicroSD slot (up to 2GB – 256MB card included), a speakerphone and is currently going for a promo price of $295.
It’s not as impressive as LG’s upcoming model, but for the price and now-ness, definitely worth a look.
