DoCoMos Finger Phone

Posted by Hemos on from the here's-a-finger-in-your-ear dept.

A reader writes: "DoCoMo has done it again. This time they have a phone where the speaker is your finger. Put your finger in your ear and listen as you speak into the mic which is integrated into the wristwatch. Also in the wrist watch is some sort of gadget which sends the sound waves up your wrist and into one of your fingers." Thanks to Cubase de Pilsen for sending me a link to one of the pictures.

  1. Sounds cool, but... by GregWebb · · Score: 5

    ... people tend to think it's rather rude to use a mobile in a lot of public places, or to stick your fingers in your ears, while talking to yourself (which is what you'll appear to be doing until people work out about these things) tends to get you dismissed as mad. As far as I can see, this combines each and every one of those problems with remarkable efficiency.

    I'd guess public acceptance will be a huge problem, I'm afraid. This may simply be a leap too far.
