They have been around for a few years, but were never taken seriously enough for the mainstream. However, it seems 2010 could be the year of the SWAP phone, as a renewed interest and a great performance at this year’s Gadget Show Live at the NEC has got people talking about them.The Smart Phone and Watch (SWAP) may look like something straight out of James Bond but this is a new concept in mobile communications and is far less fantastical than it was.
They boast a plethora of features that you might find on an ordinary smart phone such as Bluetooth, high quality digital still and video camera, MP3 and MP4 compatibility, text and calling facilities.
At a UK retail price of £300, the watch is marketed as more of a gadget than a handset replacement. The success of the notepad, the iPhone, the iPod shuffle shows that we like to slim our lives down, we would much rather carry one gadget rather than a separate phone, camera, computer etc. But do we really our phones strapped to our wrists? Is that really practical? So is it a must have or just an object of desire?
I’ll leave you to decide. Before you do, bear in mind that they are bringing out a range of new designs later on this year!
