Watch caculators were all the rage...

[Avesther]

...now this

Excuse me, I've got to answer my watch! Yeah, I know I'm a slave to time!

 

[Icthus]

Stoopid.

 

[Avesther]

Stoopid.

soon it will all be implanted!

I imagine the first generation or two of watch-phones (is that what we're going to call these things?) won't be fashionable or practical enough to inspire a significant percentage of cell phone users make the switch, but we could see the watch-phone become much more common by the third, fourth, or fifth generation.

 

[Avesther]

There is always a segment of the population that has to have the latest and greatest fad like Icthus and Treehouse, not to point fingers!

 

[nattyg]

i'm just not sure what the value is of these things? most people want a lot more information than you could even possibly fit on these tiny screens....just fail imo

I suspect it will be marketted to people who are looking for 3G technology without having to purchase a iphone or blackberry.

I suspect it will be marketed to people who love having a bluetooth headset implanted into their ear despite the fact that it makes them look like an idiot.

That's gonna hurt the elbow area if you have to keep bending it to reach your mouth.

 

[blackgravity]

umm, Inspector Gadget, anyone?

all the stuff 3g is good for requires a reasonably sized screen

Does the person you are talking to have to have a collar with three tentacle things coming out of it?

 

[tjguitarz]

They won't go anywhere until Apple does something with them. Then they'll sell like hot-cakes.

You just need something that can make use of the connection. ie...iPod touch

I will stand alone and support the invention of more and more stupid phones.......I think it is awesome. I mean how often do you lose your mobile phone. now it is attached and need never come off (maybe that is not such a good thing).

 

[Tek7]

The irony is that I stopped wearing a watch years ago when I found myself removing it every time I sat down to the computer to type. I now use my cell phone to keep an eye on the time, like I imagine most people do.

 

[blackgravity]

I usually wear a watch when I'm at not at work. It's solar powered...or light powered in general or something.

but,but,but its a watch phone. A phone inside a watch! Surely this means it does not need a practical use. Why would it, its a watch phone.

But if that phone doesn't have a calculator built into, it's useless. Don't forget that.
