Handy Wristwatch Phone
femto writes "ABC is reporting that Japanese researchers have demonstrated a wristwatch phone that uses the wearer's finger as an ear piece. To make a call, you put your finger in your ear and speak into the watch on your wrist. " Finally a phone that makes side talking look cool.
Talk to the hand!
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!

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?"
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.

Wow, now I can finally look like my hero, Inspector Gadget!!
"Go Go, Gadget Phone!"
when someone answers their finger phone and then says "it's for you..."
"Hello. Oh, OK. Here, it's for you.".
Blech!
So to activate bluetooth, do I grab my balls?
Dignitary: I'd shake your hand, but I just made a phone call with my finger in my ear.
Bush: Oh, that's okay, the last three years I've had my thumb up my @$$.
Old joke -
"Did you know you've got your finger in your ear?"
"I'm sorry, you'll have to speak up - I've got my finger in my ear..."
(Spudley Strikes Again!)
Hello -- it makes your finger vibrate. Think about it!
