From Breitbart.com:
A Japanese company Tuesday unveiled a new device that will allow people "speak" through their ear so they can use their mobile telephones in noisy places.
(Yes, that is the actual device pictured)
Apparently, this Japanese company felt that the people who walk around with a Bluetooth headset all the time do not look goofy enough. This new device enables a cell phone user to speak via his ear. The gadget picks up vibrations from the ear when you speak.
It's a cool idea, but why does the dude have a hard hat on? Is that required when you purchase the ear-mic? Anyway, I still have not gotten used to people with Bluetooth that walk around talking on the phone. 96% of the time I think they're either talking to themselves or have me confused with someone that they know. So this will only make that worse.
