New GSM Watch Phone Launched
Kempler & Strauss says that it has launched the world's smallest full-function GSM quad-band cell phone watch, the W PhoneWatch. The W PhoneWatch features a touchscreen with an intuitive micro-touch interface that enables users to operate the phone by fingertip, eliminating the need for a stylus to dial phone numbers or create text messages.
The W PhoneWatch allows users to store up to 4GB of music, voice recordings, photos, or video via the integrated micro SD slot, and supports playback of all multimedia files. The feature set also includes: calendar, address book, voicemail, SMS, call log, speed dial, ring tones with vibration mode, calculator, stopwatch, and various games and utilities.
"We're truly excited to bring the new W PhoneWatch to market as it delivers to consumers a wearable, full-function communications solution that frees them from the tether of the traditional cell phone," explained Isaac Calderon, President of Kempler & Strauss.
The W PhoneWatch incorporates a GSM phone that supports the 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, and 1900MHz bands. The 1.5-inch TFT LCD micro-touch touchscreen features a screen resolution of 128 x 128 and displays 260,000 colors. The watch measures 57 x 45 x 18mm and weighs 2.5 ounces.
Fully compatible with Bluetooth v2.0 headset and hands-free devices, the W PhoneWatch incorporates a still camera that captures JPEG images at resolutions up to 640 x 480. The integrated video camera captures video in MPEG 4 (AVI) format at a resolution of 128 x 104. The W PhoneWatch supports video playback of MPEG4 files and music files including MP3, WMA, WAV, and AMR.
The W PhoneWatch, which can be charged by USB or via the included battery charger, provides up to 150 minutes talk time, up to 150 minutes of music playback, and up to 100 hours of standby time.
The Kempler & Strauss W Phone Watch is backed by a one-year warranty and is available at a list price of $199 USD via authorized Kempler & Strauss distributors.
