LG Phone Watch For The U.K.

LG Phone Watch For The U.K.

It’s that wonderful, inevitable Dick Tracy device – the Watch Phone. Made by LG, it’s going on sale next month in the UK, from mobile operator Orange.

The device, technically the LG GD910, was showcased at Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress. It offers a 1.43” touch-screen display, voice dialing, and uses a Bluetooth headset rather than having to deal with the wristset’s minute speaker.

According to Orange, the watch phone will be available for a limited time as a pay-as-you-go set, but have not offered a price.

CES 2009 Overview and Recap

There is no doubt that Palm owned CES with the Palm Pre, effectively doing from within the show what Apple did from outside two years ago with the iPhone. But this was hardly the only big thing: We saw 3D everywhere, wireless power, affordable or ecological gaming machines, incredibly attractive and affordable laptops, tiny inkless printers, multi-screen laptops, ever smaller PCs, and the first time Linux was used to improve Windows.

How Google Plans to Kill Microsoft

We may never know if Google tricked Microsoft into going after Yahoo or not (it is my belief they did) but they sure love the drama. Think about it, in effect their two biggest competitors are currently focused on each other rather than on Google and this leaves Google free to move against both.

Google’s strategy long term is simple: They want to own the online advertising revenue stream (and they currently have about 70% so you could argue they are basically there today) and they want to cripple Microsoft.

Fossil Abacus AU4002 SPOT Watch Review

Quote from the review:

“The days of Dick Tracy are alive and well with watches like Fossil’s Abacus AU4002. With information delivered throughout the day via MSN Direct, the AU4002 serves as a time keeping piece which keeps you current on news, weather, stocks and other data which may serve some purpose in your life. The watch itself runs $129, with service plans ranging from $39.95 a year and up. The physical characteristics make the AU4002 a little too geek-chic looking for some, but the information you can get from it helps to offset that.”
