Cast out your mobile phones (but keep the SIM card it’s quite important) and get ready for a new dawn in mobile technology. The sWap Watch has arrived. For too long the mobile phone has dominated the landscape of techno communications while the trusty watch was left alone on the bedside table gathering dust while we its selfish masters galavanted from meeting to meeting keeping time with our trusty pocket sized PDA’s. The mobile phone heartlessly usurped the watch of its fundamental duties but the ‘sWap Watch’ is out for revenge and will not stop until the mobile phone has gone the way of the Sun Dial and the Dodo. The tables have now been turned. The sWap Watch doesn’t just double as a mobile phone – it’s like having a multimedia centre strapped to your wrist and all without the crushing shoulder strain. Want to check your emails? Surf the internet? Listen to music? Take Pictures? Watch a movie? MAKE a movie? It does ALL of these. It’s in danger of completely eradicating boredom revolutionising every minute of your day into a potential fun zone. The next time you’re stuck on the train you’ll just need to check out the 1.5 inch screen on your wrist for an instant fix of entertainment that’ll turn your commute into a pleasure cruise rather than a chore. The memory card slot allows you to insert a Micro SD card to upgrade the 512MB on board memory to a whopping 2GB. With all that memory you’ll have no problem storing all the MP3s and movies you’d need for a short jaunt. If you really get bored (and with this watch it’s hard to see how you could) you could even check the time (from one of the many different watch faces stored in it’s memory) or make a phone call. The watch will accept most SIM cards so upgrading is hassle free and making calls couldn’t be simpler – just plug in the hands free kit and you’re good to go. If you really want to go one step beyond and banish those pesky wires along with your mobile phone then you’ll be ecstatic to hear that the watch is Bluetooth compatible. You won’t even have to fork out for the headset as it’s included in the package. This may just be the last gadget you ever need to buy. The future has arrived and it’s a wristwatch.
