    Imagine calling someone by accident whilst exercising your wrist.

    "What, mom?! No, I was just churning butter, honest!"

    Hang on, isn't the shoe phone supposed to precede the wrist phone in the psuedo-spy tech tree??

    straps in such a way it rests in the palm.

    I got a phone call...hey, it's for you...TALK TO THE HAND!!!

    Or insert Vampire Hunder D reference...of course the soul sucking ability would be cool too, but I wonder if that would be good or bad for the battery life?

    Trust me. Once these things become popular, it will be a social norm to guess, he's talking to someone via a device, not into random space. I hate it myself.. fookin' confusin'.

    Back in the Bay Area, right after the Jabra in-ear hands free mic was released, the San Jose police were called because there was a "well dressed man, in the parking lot, screaming frantically and very angry... to himself."

    When the police got there, he sure enough was screaming his head off still. They form the traditional circle and he is completely oblivious to it, until one of them gets close enough and says, "Sir, I'm going to need to ask you to come with us." He then looks over, and says, "Hold on a sec."

    The cops at that point just started laughing at the guy, and told him not to yell at himself in public anymore :)

    Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital [phone] watches are a pretty neat idea
