Talk to the hand!
Due to the superior acoustical properties involved, the next version of the phone will be interfacing with the nasal cavity. Company officials tout this version as having intrinsically greater privacy effects, as well.

Now you can pretend to be an undercover agent without talking to yourself.
Now we have absolutely *no* way of telling who's crazy and who's just talking to their friend on their phone. Thanks a lot!

Another japanese technological miracle. Stick one finger in your ear and talk to another and look like a complete twat to everyone within close proximity.

Yeah, then when you've finished your call, you should have to touch your pinky and thumb against a table, to hang up. Now *that* would look really silly! ;-)

It's about three inches long, with a joint (or "knuckle") about halfway down and another one 3/4 of the way down, a hard, shell-like section of about 1 square cm at the end which you need to cut every week or two and it's kind of "flesh" coloured.

First Atomic Clock Wristwatch
I can already see the next business opportunity: fake cell phone handsets which clip on to your hand so you can "hold" them while sticking your finger in your ear and making a call on your watch. Other people don't need to know your phone handset is fake! $19.95 + s/h.
Could be worse... It could be a nasal finger phone.
"Kad dou hear be dow?"
...I give you the finger, and you can take my damn phone call!
An alternate version will soon be announced that will provide even greater privacy through subvocalization. To make this work, the user will have to stick the thumb of his other hand in his mouth. Look for the official annoucement in 1st Quarter 2004.
