admin — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:02:13 +0000

I’d like to offer the review of a new gadget which is in fact a considerably more complicated gadget than just sWaP Mobile Phone Watch. It is a true embodiment of extraordinary functionality as sWaP Mobile Phone Watch is not only the high-tech watch with multifunctional 1.5 inch color TFT-screen with the 176 x 128 resolution but also it’s an original mobile phone with the Bluetooth technology.

It should be noted that sWaP Mobile Phone Watch is not another phone with watches or vice versa. It’s rather a communicator. In addition to the SIM card support it’s got 1.3 megapixel camera, alarm clock, a slot for a Micro SD card, 512 MB board memory and playback of such formats as MP3, MIDI, WAV, AAC including MP4, plus connection with the Internet. It looks like multimedia functions are not neglected here…

What is more, sWaP Mobile Phone Watch has a 650mAh rechargeable battery that provides the whole 100 hours of standby time or 150-180 minutes of talk time. The set includes stylus with a handy slot and a hands free kit. You plug the latter into the watch and talk all the way through wherever you go!

The claimed price is $ 370. A bit expensive. However, the device can check e-mail, play the music and movies, surf the net as well as make picture and movies (yes, it can!). So the gadget seems to be worth that money. How do you think?
