I'm not being cynical about the iwatch. Don't care one way or the other - it's a piece of tech I'll have to support on our network at some point just like all the other Apple kit. Which isn't terribly difficult.

Does anyone know of a smaller android phone that I could buy instead to put on my wrist?

I was just thinking something similar reading the article while looking over at my smallish Samsung S2 phone. A bit smaller, a decent comfortable strap attached to the forearm similar to the mp3 player straps joggers use and it'd probably work ok as reasonable place to keep a smart phone while on the move. Probably only practicable in warmer climates/environments since it might look (even more silly) strapped on over a long sleeved shirt or suit jacket.

Anyone caring to put my crazy idea to the test can now buy an LG 20 as a Pay As You Go upgrade for £0.99 from Carphonewarehouse.com. If you have an old PAYG SIM from one of the main networks hanging around that you have used to make a phone call in the last 3 months then you probably qualify for a 99p LG 20 with free courier delivery. To get to the Carphonewarehouse upgrades page, hover your mouse over "UPGRADES" and then click on "Pay as you go all phones".
