Headset Uses Bone-Conduction Technology
Wired reports that a new headset is on the way to solve all those background noise problems you have had with your cell phone in crowded areas. This new bluetooth headset uses "bone-conduction" technology that converts vibrations from you jaw into sound. The article claims it should be available as early as later this year for around $200.
I just asked my wife if she'd be interested in talking on the bone phone....
...she didn't find it nearly as funny as I did.
What if you punch the asshole in the jaw who keeps talking through the ballgame/movie/dinner/concert?
What will they hear on the other end?
It's like a koan, man. . .
