One device I wish I could have got to see at Gadget Show Live 2009 is the s-w-a-p: Smart Watch and Phone!
Here’s some detail on their Classic model (pictured above), from the website:
If you fancy knowing more, you can check the s-w-a-p website here – there are also links to distributors there too.

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

It was great to see one in the flesh however as the show was pretty noisy i couldnt get a demo the LG one looks like its gonna be way better than this, the ui on the SWAP was far too small to be usable and i hated that youd have to use the stylus for everything. it also looked really complicated to use.
