The French have given us a miraculous amount of incredible aesthetics over the years, but now, Samsung is plan on releasing a watch phone, the S9110, exclusively for them. It is the world’s thinnest watch-phone, at 11.98 millimeters, an accomplishment that is probably considered the world’s most arbitrary bragging point. It features a 1.76-inch touch screen, and wireless e-mail syncing with Microsoft Outlook. What’s that you say? You don’t want to hold your watch up to your head? Well, good. You are a rational person. That’s why Samsung has made it Bluetooth compatible. But if you want to hold it up to your head, it’s also equipped with voice recognition. Really, if you think you’re too cool for a calculator watch, have a fetish for Knightrider, Dick Tracey, James Bond, AND the French, then this is the watch for you. Unfortunately, it costs $649. Which is way too much for something that may not be practical. You’d have to be wearing a watch, and a bluetooth headset. Also, it’s exclusively in France. It’s a mystery to me why they’re getting this product launch, it seems like it’d be much more logical in Japan. I hate franco-bashing, but realistically, if you’re French, and need to have a watch that is also a phone, you are terrible at being French. Relax. Have some paté de foie gras.
