Word's Smallest Phone is Also a Watch

by Terrence O'Brien on May 31, 2007 at 12:28 PM



In some ways we're shocked this took this long. Yes, there have been cell phone watches and TV watches in the past, but they've all been clunky behemoths that look like home-arrest anklets worn on the arm.

Thankfully, SMS Technology Australia has just released the "world's smallest" cell phone, the M500 Mobile Phone-Watch. Now, your childhood dreams (or, more likely, your father's childhood dreams) of getting his Dick Tracy on can finally come true ... with enough disposable income.

The M500 is shipping now for $999.99 AUD, which is about $740 in U.S. coinage.

For that kind of money, you get quad-band GSM for roaming the globe, a 1.5-inch color touchscreen, Bluetooth, USB, MP3 and AAC music playback and MP4 video capabilities.

Pretty cool, but it's still got nothing on the old school Casio calculator watch.
