The future’s here, and it’s quite retro
I just got back after a couple of days off work to find two mobile phone watches have landed on my desk. That’s right – mobile phones, in a watch. Watches that are mobile phones. It’s official, the future is here, and it’s come in the form of a chunky plastic wrist accessory.
What next for Pro? Jet-packs? Flying cars? Meals in a pill? Who knows. All I can tell you is that I was running up and down Tottenham Court road at lunch pretending I was the Hoff in Knight Rider.
This particular one that I’m testing today, which strangely came with no product or manufacturer’s name but can be bought here, has Bluetooth, quad-band operation, video recording and an MP3 player, all controlled by a tiny, tiny touchscreen. Keep an eye out in PC Pro for the full reviews.

I think these are great things and are possibly the best inovation since the first modern mobile phone. Does the second one come with the digital camera built-in?

Yes Andrew, the second one comes with a digital camera built in and with a gratis neck collar labelled longitude
with the option of strapping it to your forehead and assisting you with your direction (walking, driving or flying) while you read your emails, surf the net and catch up with latest action packed episode of your favourite soap 
)
So hurry up Mat and write that review – the Star Trek Fans are itching for them!!

The old Dick Tracey wrist videophone is still much cooler… 40 years later and this is the best they can come up with? :-S
