There have been Bluetooth watches before, most of which have led me to ask "why?" However, they're now no longer the preserve of small-time gizmo makers with a Build-it-yourself Bluetooth-kit and too much time on their hands, as Sony Ericsson have joined the frey with their new Sony Ericsson MBW-100 Bluetooth Watch.

Nokia have announced the extraordinary new Nokia N95 mobile phone, which must be their most advanced mobile phone yet. Seemingly set to out-do the Koreans at their own high-tech game, the Nokia N95 offers an unbelievable feature-set. How does a 5 megapixel camera sound? What about built-in GPS with streetmaps from over 100 countries? Still not enough? WLAN connectivity do you? Oh go on then, throw in HSDPA for blisteringly fast mobile data transfer.
And it doesn't end there! More amazing details of the stunning new Nokia N95 mobile phone after the jump.
Nokia have announced new upgraded editions of their Nokia N91, N73 and N70 mobile phones. The new version are music editions, and as well as new looks, they all sport enhanced storage (8GB, 2GB, and 1GB for the N91, N73 and N70 respectively) and music playing software.

Pantech have announced the new Pantech IM-U140 mobile TV phone. An odd-looking phone this one, as the screen pops up at a 30 degree angle to let you view the TV picture more easily. While making the phone look undoubtedly cool and interesting (albeit in a geeky way), it also seems to make it very large!

LG's mobile phone lineup for this Christmas is looking decidedly trendy. After the huge success the company has had with its Chocolate line of phones, LG is continuing its focus on design, with the new phones looking much better than South Korean phones of old (you listening, Samsung?!)
All manner of extreme gadgets can seemingly be squeezed into the ever-shrinking form of the mobile phone, but one thing that limits these gadgets' usefulness is the size of the display (and the input options, of course, but that's another story). A smartphone, for example, is only usable if you can actually read the documents you're trying to edit.
Fujitsu have announced a completely new barcode that's invisible to the naked eye, but which can be read by mobile phones. The new barcode can encode info such as a URL, which can be decoded by the mobile phone, enabling web-based content to be downloaded onto the phone. As the picture shows, the idea is to get more information about a product simply by waving a mobile phone over it, or over related publicity material.

LG have released a new phone for the visually impaired that can read books. At first glance, the ability o read a book from a phone sounds amazing, but looking at the details, the LG LF1300 simply downloads an audio book and speaks it to the user using voice synthesis. So, not too amazing, but a nice touch from LG for users not usually thought of by the mobile phone manufacturers.
The 16mm thin mobile phone also comes with MP3 player, bluetooth, and keypads specially developed for the visually impaired. I was initially surprised at the lack of a camera, but then I thought that one through!
