LG unveils 3G mobile phone watch with video calling

South Korea’s LG Electronics unveiled what it describes as the world’s first watch-shaped mobile video phone.

The “3G watch phone” model has a touch-screen dialling system with a camera and a speaker built in to enable users to make video calls over a high speed internet connection, LG Electronic said in a statement.

It also recognises voices, transforms text to speech, has a Bluetooth function and plays mp3 music.

The product has a 3.63-centimetre screen and is 13.9 millimetres thick. It will be on display at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas from January 8 to 11.

The first mobile phone watch was released by an Australian company in 2007, but LG’s model is the first to incorporate video calling.
