Ever since Fifties detective Dick Tracy had a two-way radio built into his watch, the watch-phone has been the stuff of geeky dreams.
據(jù)英國(guó)《每日郵報(bào)》11月29日?qǐng)?bào)道，自從上世紀(jì)50年代，電影《至尊神探》中的男主人公迪克-崔西將無(wú)線(xiàn)對(duì)講機(jī)裝在手表中之后，手表電話(huà)就成為了一種令人生厭的發(fā)明。
The reality, though, has been a little different. Not only are “real” watchphones such as LG's model gigantic, cuff-shredding monsters, they don't really DO anything.
然而現(xiàn)實(shí)卻有些不同。一些“真實(shí)的“手表電話(huà)——如LG推出的產(chǎn)品，不僅體型巨大，容易撕裂衣服袖口，而且一點(diǎn)也不實(shí)用。
But all that's set to chance with the touch screen i'mWatch - tipping the scales at a svelte 70g, and offering a little more than a really undignified way to hold a conversation by talking to your cuff.
然而這些產(chǎn)品的不足之處卻給一款觸屏手表電話(huà)——i'mWatch提供了商機(jī)。該產(chǎn)品造型輕巧，僅重70克。它能讓你在對(duì)著袖口講話(huà)時(shí)顯得美觀(guān)一些。
There is even a special "App store" built for apps that might work on a 1.5-inch LCD screen - in other words, almost no Android apps currently available.
這款手表電話(huà)的研發(fā)者甚至設(shè)立了一種特殊的“應(yīng)用程序商店”，為這種液晶屏只有1.5英寸的產(chǎn)品提供專(zhuān)用程序。換句話(huà)說(shuō)，目前幾乎所有的安卓手機(jī)程序都無(wú)法適用于該產(chǎn)品。
There is at least a 4GB memory chip built in, so you'll at least have plenty of space to store them.
該手表電話(huà)擁有至少4GB的儲(chǔ)存空間，所以使用者不必?fù)?dān)心產(chǎn)品因儲(chǔ)存空間不夠而無(wú)法安裝這些程序。
Naturally, this being the world of watches, there are jewelled versions designed to part yacht owners from their money - costing? 10,286. The ordinary model is ?234.
自然，這款智能手表將面向全球市場(chǎng)出售。設(shè)計(jì)者為有錢(qián)人士提供了珠寶定制款，需花費(fèi)10，286英鎊（約合人民幣10.2萬(wàn)元）。大眾款則售價(jià)234英鎊（約合人民幣2300元）。
The small screen size could be a blessing, though - it'll last two days between charges, although as ever with claimed battery life, we'll believe that when we've tested the thing for six months.
該產(chǎn)品待機(jī)時(shí)間2天，正如聲稱(chēng)的那樣，我們已經(jīng)對(duì)其進(jìn)行了半年的測(cè)試，并對(duì)此確信不疑。這種小屏幕的設(shè)計(jì)對(duì)于使用者來(lái)說(shuō)將是一種福音。
Standard smartphone functions such as email and weather reports will be built in. Mr Bertolini said: "In the near future, with i'mWatch it will be possible to turn the heating, the washing machine and the dishwasher on and off."
該產(chǎn)品還會(huì)增加一些如收發(fā)電子郵件以及天氣預(yù)報(bào)之類(lèi)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)智能手機(jī)功能。貝托里尼（該產(chǎn)品的設(shè)計(jì)者之一）先生說(shuō)：“在不久的將來(lái)，i'mWatch也許將用于開(kāi)關(guān)暖氣、洗衣機(jī)以及洗碗機(jī)。”
"In the house of the future, where home automation will control and manage many white goods, i'mWatch will be able to integrate perfectly."
“未來(lái)的房屋將使用家庭自動(dòng)化系統(tǒng)控制和管理大型家電，i'mWatch能夠做到完美的整合。”
The watch will go on general sale in 2012.
這款智能手表將于2012年面市。
