"The phone uses the body to make and take calls. "A tiny microphone worn on the wrist like a watch picks up your voice, New Scientist magazine says. "To hear the person at the other end, you place your index finger in your ear. "Makers NTT DoCoMo say the caller's voice is turned into vibrations sent through the bones of the hand. "The finger brings the vibrations directly to the eardrum as audible sound. "The phone, from Japan and known as the Finger Whisper, does away with a keypad and the need for dialling. Numbers are called by tapping the finger in rhythm or by speaking to the wristband. "Incoming calls are signalled by a gentle vibration and the phone is answered by tapping thumb and forefinger together." I was waiting for implants, but this might even be better. And I thought people raving into their cel phones already looked pretty silly; this is a whole new level of entertainment. Thank you, Japan! Thank you!
