Dick Tracy mobile phone watch for $500

M300Ever since I was a kid (no, not THAT long ago) the image of Dick Tracy in the comic books using his cool wrist watch communicator has been lurking in the back of my mind.  There’s just something about talking to someone on a watch that gets the old geek juices flowing.  Imagine my surprise when I saw this today, the M300 watch that houses a GSM/GPRS (Tri-band) phone with speaker phone, Bluetooth and MP3 player.  It supports dial-up networking too so communication is assured and is quoted to get 200 minutes talk time and 80 hours standby.  According to the specs the display is OLED to be kinder on battery life and it should start shipping next month.
