Las Vegas — LG Electronics kicked off media day at the Consumer Electronics Show in true science-fiction style, unveiling a fully functional wristwatch cellphone.
"This is something you expect to see in a 007 movie," LG chief technology officer Woo Paik said at the company's news conference on Wednesday.
The watch-phone, which LG expects to be available for sale in the second half of the year, works on GSM networks such as the one operated by Rogers in Canada, and features a touch screen.
The device can detect its user's voice within 25 centimetres and has Bluetooth connectivity so an earpiece can be used. Incoming calls and text messages are displayed on the watch face.
