Mobile Phone in Your Teeth!

thumbtack writes "News.com is running a story that reports that British researchers claim to have developed an implant that could be placed in a tooth and used as a mobile phone. According to the article, the sound would be transferred to the inner ear by bone resonance, and could be listened too anytime anywhere, with complete privacy." This is awesome. Course it would kinda suck if your phone rang when you were asleep.

    Granted, it wasn't a cell phone, but good ol' Kent did have the voice of "god" booming through his skull due to a tooth implant (and that was back before cell phones were really popular)

    I, for one, never lost 4 baby teeth. The 4 corners between the incisors and molars; top and bottom. If they fell out, I would do it just to get surround sound!! I could jog dial with long & short tongue presses. If the display was jacked into my visual cortex like the new "blind man driving" glasses, now we're talking Molly from Neuromancer. :)

    For video, you would use an eye phone.

    I suppose you could dial or mouse around with your tongue. That would give a whole new experience to browsing pr0n...
