AS VEGAS — LG Electronics Inc, hoping to tide through a global economic downturn and emerge stronger, wants to keep up spending and unveil new products to boost its North American presence.
From a watchphone reminiscent of James Bond gadgets to a dozen new high-definition TVs, the South Korean tech giant introduced a slew of new products at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Wednesday and vowed to keep developing more to shore up its premium branding.

Very nice!
Is there a market of people wanting to talk to their wrists?
I would think the battery life would be terrible on a device that small.
Does it come with JoeJitsu on speed dial?
I’ll need his help in busting Flathead and Mumbles.....
Hello? Bluetooth. No one will be talking to their wrists.
Why not? People are already walking around talking with their hand over their ear.
What would really become popular is something that makes them walk and talk while holding a hand over their ear while rubbing their belly with the other hand- something like a battery charger that runs of static. People wouldn't really care how stupid they look if they thought they were being 'green'.
So you have to keep a blue tooth in your ear all the time?
Wow. You must not be a technophile nor own a bluetooth headset...
Not really. The smaller the device, the less power it needs.
I own one. Tell me about it.
I’m waiting for the phone implant...
The battery in my RAZR isn’t much bigger than the dimensions (WxH) of that phone.
I came within half a minute of giving an idiot on an elevator an implanted Nextel phone/walkie-talkie. Who would have thought that using a device a foot from your mouth and ear is better than something nearer to your head?
Saw it this morning. SOoooo getting one.
Bluetooth headsets suck. Not worth the money you have to spend on them. You get better sound with cheaper wired headsets, plus it's just more batteries to keep changing. There are just too many other sources of static interference for blue tooth to work good on the street. They are ok in less 'noisy'places, like at home, but when driving you end up saying "what?" 100x more than you normally do. Plus with blue tooth there is a greater possibility that your conversation can be picked up by others.
Been there - done that - know that feeling... ROTFLMAO
Not me. I hate cell phones. I keep mine turned off most of the time when I leave the office. I leave the work associated with the office at the office. Who really wants to be constantly tethered to the office with their PDA, when they can enjoy a nice relaxing commute home without being bothered?
I find people that walk around in public, while in line at the bank, or a store, in elevators etc. gabbing on a cell phone, to be very annoying.
