Using MEMS to Miniaturize Mobile Phones

securitas writes: "The NY Times has a feature on using microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS) in cell phones to replace bulky passive components like the filters, resonators and duplexers that make up most of the size of today's phones. In theory, they say, you could have a cell phone in a ring on your finger. Besides making everyone seem like James Bond, a ring-phone would give new meaning to the phrase 'Talk to the hand.'"

Great....

So now we're going to have a bunch of yuppies talking to their fingers while they drive.

Does this mean people are going to get pulled over for talking on their cell (in areas where it's illegal), when all they were really doing was picking their nose?

What an injustice... what a travisty....

One Ring to Bind them?

Actually, One ring says I'm committed to my wife. The other Ring shows my commitment to technology!
