There's a very interesting article in this month's Wired mag about Fossil and their PDA watch. Of particular note in this case here, is how they are fanatical about size - if something can't fit within their maximum allowable watch dimensions, it's not a go - people won't buy a watch that is too bulky and awkward.
As cool as a watch phone is, I have a feeling this rule will hold true - that looks gigantic!

I'd personally have some concerns about radiation having a phone strapped to my wrist... 8O

I don't know about that. Don't you keep your phone in your pocket right now? At least the wrist is mostly bone... :lol:

It would be VERY close to perfect if it was a tri-band GSM watch/phone. Isn't there an American market for this kind of gadget? I think so.
They also said the magic word: Bluetooth!
If they include support for America, I'll be in line to get one of these. Oh, and if it's not going to cost a fortune either.
