LG Dick Tracey Watch-Phone

LAS VEGAS — James Bond and Dick Tracy fans are likely to queue up for this soon. The new watch phone from LG is one of the coolest gadgets at the CES 2009 show.

At a press event today, LG USA President Michael Ahn showed a working demo of the device. It's a surprisingly slim watch that has a touchscreen phone, 3G and Bluetooth capabilities. It also has a camera that can take photos and small videos.

Worn on the wrist, the phone looks like any ordinary watch displaying the time but when a call comes in, the screen changes. Just raise your hand a little closer to your mouth, press a button and you can talk into the watch through the speakerphone capability.

The watch phone is expected to go into production mid-year though the company did not offer any details on pricing.

LG To Premiere Skinniest TV at CES [GADGETS]

Not one to keep a low profile LG has been hitting the consumer electronics industry with some heat. It seems ever since they launched the chocolate (I still don't know what the fuss about that phone was for) they have been cranking out a serious series of products. They have upped the ante again by premiering the LH95 at CES, which is an LCD model with an LED backlight and a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio. With a thickness of only 24.8mm (0.98") it'll make mounting your TV seem like putting up a poster.
