i'mWatch Android watch lets you play James Bond
We’ve seen quite a few watch phones now, and although it doesn’t offer the functionality of some, the i’mWatch looks like the most intriguing prospect yet. This compact Android device actually connects to your phone via Bluetooth – rather than having its own connection – but it’s all the slimmer and more stylish for it. Read on to find out more about the i’mWatch.
We actually spotted the i’mWatch a little while back, but it’s now at the pre-order stage, and available in several different colours and finishes. The i’mWatch runs Android – as with the majority of smartphones – but it’s also compatible with other Bluetooth-enabled handsets.
There’s a 1.54-inch touchscreen on the front of the gadget, and 64MB of memory to help power the Android OS. Although it doesn’t sound like much, it’ll be used to help run simple apps – rather than 3D gaming found on actual Android smartphones – so should be fine for most uses.
The i’mWatch provides 4GB of storage, so you can listen to your music directly from the watch, and it also provides more than the ability to ring or read text messages without having to remove your phone from your pocket. You can also access Facebook updates from the i’mWatch, along with other widgets including weather and calendar functions.
You can select from a host of colours – including red, yellow, pink, green, blue, white and black, and i’mWatch is also available in staggeringly expensive bejewelled variants. As standard, i’mWatch looks set to cost 249 Euros, with the watch set to ship in November 2011.
Would you buy the i’mWatch? Or does the idea of chatting to your watch still leave you cold? Leave a comment and let us know.

Don't see the point in this to be honest,You can strap your ipod to your arm and such and getting a phone out is no hassle. Yes very James Bond-like but It's missing a laser :P + 4gb is not enough for music well not for me anyway aha

looks pretty cool but does it have Wi-Fi and can it run any android games? because i am a gamer i even have site and youtube channel to prove that, i would like the ability to play a lot of games on it. So I don't think i would replace my old IPhone 3G for this, it's a great concept but it doesn't look like it make the performance and demand wanted in an android phone. I'd rate it 5/10 it's good but not for me.
