LG unveils wristwatch video phone

Out of James Bond's bedside cabinet and into the Korean mobile market.

LG says its device is the world's first watch-shaped mobile video phone. It comes with a touchscreen dialling system, camera and built in speaker.

Apparently it also recognises voices, transforms text to speech, has a Bluetooth function and plays MP3s.

LG will present the device at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January.
