Is That a Phone on Your Wrist?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 01:00 PM
"Samsung has said its GPRS wristphone will ship in Europe in time for Christmas. The device, announced earlier this year, is the world's smallest GPRS phone, claims Samsung. The phone operates in the 900MHz and 1800MHz bands, and provides Bluetooth connections for headsets and PDAs. It has a built in speakerphone, and dialling is voice activated. The screen is a 256-colour 96x63 OLED panel. The phone measures 3.8 x 6.4 x 1.8cm and weighs less than 80g."
Hmm. This would almost nullify the whole one device/two device scenario...if I wore a watch. :mrgreen: I love seeing innovation like this, even if it's a "geeks only" version right now, because these are the first steps towards integration on a much deeper level (think Star Trek communicators, and not the ones Kirk used).
