Dick Tracy, Your Two-Way Wrist Radio Is Here
If you’ve ever secretly wanted to be a comic book hero and you happen to live in the USA, now’s your chance. Subscribers to Cingular/AT&T or T-Mobile can pop the SIM out of their existing handset, put it into the Touchscreen Cell Phone/PDA Wristwatch and find themselves with a two-way wrist radio รก la Dick Tracy. The wrist phone is a tri-band GSM device. You can also purchase a pre-paid SIM card from either carrier.
If you’re not hot on the idea of wearing a cell phone on your wrist, you can always wear it as a pendant, but frankly, that comes with its own set of issues. The kit can do just about anything your regular handset does, and sends SMS and MMS messages; plays back MP3 files; displays movie files; provides basic handwriting recognition; supports Bluetooth headsets; and offers some additional organizer-type applications, like a calendar, calculator, unit and currency converter and an alarm clock.
You can pick up this gadget for USD$250. (Go on. You know you want it…) Now, if we could just find a shoe-phone, we’d be all set.
