Hyundai W-100 watch phone

Again, it seems that many people like the idea of wearing their mobile phones as watches. Now, we have South Korean Hyundai entering the race with their newly announced W-100 model. And while most of these devices look kinda similar, Engadget is reporting that Hyundai’s device is the same/very similar as the one we saw earlier from CECT.

Apparently, users should expect the built-in 1.3 MP camera, Bluetooth, a 176×144 pixel touchscreen, integrated MP3 player, support for English and Chinese languages and the microSD expansion slot. At this stage, we’ve no pricing nor availability information, but I would be surprised to see the W-100 available outside Asia… More photos after the jump.

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
