Kempler & Strauss has launched the W PhoneWatch, which it claims is the world’s smallest GSM quad-band cell phone watch, along with the Communicator, a Bluetooth hands-free device.
Like just about everything these days, Kempler & Strauss bills the W PhoneWatch “ideal for individuals with an active lifestyle.” In K&S speak, that means a 1.5-inch, 128-by-128-pixel touch screen, a camera, a video recorder, an MP3 player, Bluetooth, and a microSD slot that works with 4GB cards.
The W PhoneWatch also includes a bevy of PIM apps, including a calendar, address book, a calculator, and stopwatch, plus the usual SMS, voice mail, speed dial, and a vibration mode that must feel great on your arm.
The Communicator, meanwhile, sports a suspiciously short range of 16 feet (most Bluetooth devices list 33 feet these days). It also works with MP3 files–could be great for wireless podcast listening–and features a noise-canceling mic and internal windscreen. The W PhoneWatch lists for $199 and is available via K&S dealers nationwide; no word yet on a release date or a price for the Communicator.
