Tag Heuer Announces their First Android Smartphone, Link

There seems to be no end to the number of mobile phone manufacturers that are coming into the market, nowadays. The latest to join the smartphone segment is Tag Heuer’s Link. The device runs on Android’s earlier version, FroYo. Of course, for a smartphone launching now, the operating system seems to be a little outdated. The other features also are quite mundane, so to speak.

Links to the rich and famous!

Tag Heuer have manufactured the Link to be more of a style icon with a little sprinkling of smartphone features at the user’s disposal. Here is a small list of specifications that the Link boasts of:

• 3.5-inch TFT display touchscreen
• Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth 2.0
  5 megapixel camera
• 246MB internal memory
• Expandable to 8GB via MicroSD card

Tag Heuer being a company preferred by the well-heeled has not loaded the Link with a lot of features. Sources rather say that the smartphone boasts of good looks and users can choose between steel, titanium or 18K rose gold and Tag Heuer is throwing in some diamonds to enhance its looks. If that doesn’t sound good enough for the elite, users can also opt for leather with the case being made of Calfskin leather.

Expecting the Link to be a high-priced? Well you’re right in doing so. The Link can be yours at a very paltry (for the rich and elite, that is) $6820 (approx Rs. 3,41,000).
