    The wrist-phone has a speakerphone and also support for bluetooth wireless headsets.

    Holding it up to your ear would only deafen you.

    The phones are too big & ugly. I'll stick to my digitally-controlled analog watch, thanks. As for cute laptops, check out dynamism.com, they import the best from japan.

    Ah yes, it was a wrist band that would transmit sound up through your fingers, and you'd put a finger in your ear!

    Imagine a combination! Slashdotters have been scoffing at the idea of holding your wrist up to your ear, but try putting your finger in your ear: your wrist is naturally near your mouth.

    It could be a winner, once they get the battery life improved.
