Review: Kempler & Strauss W Phone Watch

Posted by on Friday, 19 February, 2010


Short Version: The Kempler & Strauss W Phone watch is a great idea. It’s a compact, unlocked GSM phone that makes a great conversation piece and is fun – if a bit maddening – to use. Can it ever be your “first phone?” Absolutely not, but at $199 unlocked you can’t get a GSM phone – at least one stuffed inside a watch – for much cheaper.

Features:

  • Unlocked GSM phone – in a watch!
  • Touchscreen with limited handwriting recognition
  • Camera
  • Full MMS/GPRS support
  • MSRP of $199.99

Pros:

  • Great conversation starter
  • Cheap for an unlocked GSM phone
  • Bluetooth headset included

Cons:

  • Screen is too small
  • Battery lasts about a day
  • Lot’s of accessories to lose

Review:

In using the Kempler & Strauss W Phone Watch I was reminded of a quote from the Steinbeck book Travels With Charley. In it he describes a venison dish, noting that:

The recipes, the herbs, the wine, the preparation that goes into a good venison dish would make an old shoe a gourmet’s delight.

To be fair, this is truly one of the funnest phones you will ever own. However, like a tough piece of venison, all of the accessories included in the phone make you consistently ask the question “Why don’t I just get a real phone and a Bluetooth headset and call it a day?”

The W Watch Phone is surprisingly small and light. It weighs about 2.5 ounces and is 57mm long, about as big as a standard watch. The screen is about an inch on each side and there is a small speaker in the band. A microphone hides on the side. On the top of the watch is an odd little VGA camera that can take JPEGs at 640×480 and video at 128×104 (!!). It also plays back MPEG4s and most audio files.

These watch phones are not new. A quick perusal on the Interwebs will produce a list of a number of Shenzhen-based watchphone manufacturers who are selling their wares for as low as $99. What Kempler & Strauss has done is add on a bit of design and some quality assurance to a product that’s been available on Shenzhen streets for months, if not years.

I used the phone a few times over the past few weeks and found it to be fun at parties and useful on a limited scale. There are multiple input methods, from tapping the little icons with your finger to using the point of the included Bluetooth headset to pick or scribble out letters and numbers. All of these methods, while sound and approachable with practice, are very frustrating at first.

The handwriting recognition, for example, works as well as it did on the Palm V or the Fossil Palm watch of yesteryear. It appears when you’re entering numbers so don’t expect to be able to write out the Magna Carta on this thing.

The watch can send MMS messages, as well, using photos taken with the piteous camera. The less we say about the camera the better. Below is an actual image:

Other features include “games” – actually just one game that involves catching fruit in a basket – and background sounds that simulate various scenarios, allowing you to blame the phone’s poor reception on your surroundings. “Pub,” for example, makes it sound like you’re calling from a noisy pub, while “sidewalk” simulates a sidewalk.

Making and taking calls with a Bluetooth headset is simplicity itself and the sound quality is fine. Making calls by talking into your wrist and listening to responses from the built-in speaker can lead to madness.

The simple fact that I’m sitting in front of a phone watch right now is a testament to the slow but inexorable ascent of mankind’s prowess as a toolmaker. These are, verily, the days of miracles and wonder and the “Ho-hum” feeling I get when I handle the W Phone Watch is a bit odd. After all, a few short years ago our phones could barely fit in our pockets let alone around our wrists. What Kempler & Strauss – and the OEMs that work for them – have done is laudable and fascinating.

Bottom Line
The W Phone Watch is a cool gadget. If you want to be “that dude” who wears a phone watch, you probably won’t find a better one on the market. If you’re traveling this thing could become a boon companion as it is unobtrusive and works well enough to warrant a second look.

Cell Phones

An electronic device used for data transmission , text messaging and mobile telephony is called mobile, mobile phone or cell phone. iPhone continues to garner huge buzz, growing share and long lines of the cell phone market . Apple drops the newest model as we approach the second anniversary of the first model. iPhone 3GS promises additional features, more memory, extended battery life, network speeds and faster processing. iPhone 3GS delivers its promises, in many ways . The phone’s software ran noticeable faster and the  battery lasted longer .Some features like multimedia messaging and tethering were scheduled last summer. Far from perfect remains the call quality .
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
iPhone 3GS has the same design as the first model having the same external control and the shape. Memory sizes are available in black and white and it is more resistant to smudges and fingerprints. This cell phone it is heavier  although shares the same dimensions as its predecessor. As simple and intuitive the interface is , swiping through multiple pages is tedious and if you are not an organized freak, it is painful to drag applications from page to page . Related apps cannot be categorized in folders and this is something bothering.

The camera has no editing features but has  a decent photo quality. Many basic VGA camera phones have standard options like self-timer, digital zoom and white balance while Apple didn’t include them at first. Then added a new ,,Tap to Focus’’ feature and 3 mega pixels resolution. A small box appears on the centre of the display, as you point the lens towards the subject. Tapping the square adjust the exposure, contract, colour ,  white balance and focuses the camera automatically. Just tap the display at your chosen point, if you’d rather focus on the edge of your shot, and the square moves with you. The camera will focus the entire frame, if you don’t tap anywhere.

For example, we were able to get a clear reading on the book’s title if we photographed a book cover sitting on a desk. The title became somewhat blurry if we shifted the focus away from the book. The entire picture would appear brighter if we focused on the brightest part of an image and the same goes for the darker part. But don’t expect miracles because iPhone still doesn’t come with a flash.

It didn’t feel like a big difference the new automatic macro setting.

On the other hand, the new automatic macro setting didn’t appear to make much of a difference. Close-up shots looked slightly better on the iPhone 3GS than they did on the iPhone 3G, but we couldn’t tell when the macro focus was working and when it wasn’t. As with the autofocus feature, the macro setting is a welcome addition, but we’d prefer to have more control over it. In other words, the iPhone 3GS’ camera is smarter than those on the earlier iPhones, but the camera, rather than the user, still runs the show. The quality of iPhone 3 GS’ is better. Tests of outdoor shots looked less blurry.


cell-phones-3

This iPhone has right on the phone  an easy-to-use video-editing.

The video recorder has a simple interface and you can edit clips right on the display. You can use here the Tap of Focus and controls for video shooting work just like the still camera’s control. The camera shoots are 30 frames per second but the quality is just VGA.  Some videos appear washed out while colours look muted. In comparison with most of the cell phones , iPhone 3GS did better at handling movement. You can upload it directly to your YouTube  account or send it in your e-mail, after you’re done recording.


cell-phones-4

The phone’s video-editing tool is fun to use and utterly intuitive. It is a great tool but little improvements can be done. When you trim a clip, instead of saving it as a new file it replaces the original video. And another thong is that you can trim only in a linear format – that means that you cannot cut the clip and the 2 remaining ends to make a whole.

Another cool feature is the small thumbnail that will appear on the bottom of the viewfinder. This allows you to quickly open a video or photo that had been shot recently. The photo gallery page can be opened by tapping the thumbnail from where you can send the photo to a friend or just see it.


cell-phones-5

The iPod player is controlled by the voice control feature that allows you to make calls. You have to just speak the phone name and number into the receiver and the phone call will be made. If something goes wrong, you can press the ,,undo’’ button. You don’t have to train it to recognize your voice because it is speaker-independent.

Throughout the world, cell phones have become a necessity. The ability to access mail, keep in touch with family and business associates are only a few reasons regarding cell phone’s importance. Cell phones provide the user with a sense of security and is a perfect way to stay connected with others. Due to advances in wireless technology cell phone reception has become of high quality and reliable. They are also very easy to use and affordable . They are almost a status symbol in addition to the security and convenience that comes from owning them .


Where Is My iPhone Videochat, Apple?

Posted by on Tuesday, 1 December, 2009

Dear Apple and AT&T: I have had enough of this. Tell me, why don’t we have videochat on the iPhone, you assclowns? Whatever excuse you may have, I’m here to destroy it.

This morning, the latest Fring update brought videochat to the iPhone. It only works in one direction, from a computer to your iPhone. It uses Wi-Fi instead of the 3G connection, even while 3G is capable of supporting videoconferencing (in fact, it was one of its major selling points, back in the day of its introduction). The only reason for not having bi-directional chat is simple: The iPhone doesn’t have a front camera.

The main thing is that it works. A third-party has created a videoconferencing app for the iPhone that communicates with desktop computers, just using Apple’s standard iPhone programming toolbox. The question now is: If it’s that easy, why don’t we have a camera and iChat AV on the iPhone?

Could it be because AT&T is fearing that videoconferencing on the iPhone would bring their already overloaded 3G network to a total collapse? That’s a valid reason. But if that’s the case, just enable the videoconferencing under Wi-Fi, and be done with it.

Maybe the iPhone doesn’t have enough processing power to do bidirectional videochat? Nonsense. The processor in the iPhone is plenty fast to handle simultaneous H.264 encoding and decoding for videoconferencing applications. In fact, the iPhone 3GS’ PowerVR SGX processor has dedicated pipes to encode and decode H.264 in real time. And even Apple highlights the use of H.264 for videoconferencing applications in other 3G mobile devices, most of them a lot less capable than the iPhone.

Perhaps the VGA camera required to capture the video is too expensive or too big? That doesn’t make any sense either. Not only do other phones have these cameras, but the latest generation is so tiny and inexpensive that I wouldn’t be surprised if they gave one away integrated in every Corn Flakes box soon.

If there’s no technical reason for not having videoconference in the iPhone, then why oh why Apple doesn’t give us an iChat AV client and an iPhone that doesn’t require an stupid contraption to use it? After all, they were the first company to push videoconferencing across their whole product line, and they keep working on it actively. The latest generation of iChat AV—rolled out with Snow Leopard—has more efficient codecs than the previous version.

My only guess: They just want to milk the hell out of their user base. They know their game, these Cupertino boys and girls. They know they have the market by the balls. They know they can keep churning out marginal upgrades because, like Tim Cook said: “frankly, I think people are still just trying to catch up with the first iPhone 2 years ago.” And people will keep sinking dollars in the marginal upgrades like there’s no tomorrow, as shown by the iPhone 3GS.

Why release an iPhone with AV conferencing now when they can hold it for a little longer, as they wait for the rest of the market to catch up? Exactly: There’s no need. And that’s why we will have to wait. Wait until they smell that Google is about to release a phone that supports Gtalk with videoconferencing. Or until whenever they have it planned in their roadmap. Yes, that private roadmap that already has three or four generations of this thing ready to launch.

In other words: Prepare to wait, and keep sucking hard on the Apple Kool-aid, because this is not happening until they feel a real threat from someone else.

Cricket recently announced a new basic camera phone dubbed the Captr (pronounced like “capture”). The flip phone only has a VGA camera, so it won’t take great pictures, but it’s OK if all you want is an entry-level camera phone.
