So your hand is your telephone... but can it take pictures?!

Not sure if this is the coolest/dumbest thing in the world.

I'll vote for dumbest... or at least a close second to almost anything starring Steven Segal.

That's awesome! Every time I use a headset I appreciate the wireless technology that allows me to do it, but I always felt it was missing something. I'm tired of having that free hand with nothing to do. Obviously I could just talk on the phone without an attachment, but how is that trendy and pretentious? It's not. Certainly not enough for me. This would really help get the message across to people that I'm a busy man, I don't even have two hands to do stuff with I'm so busy. And fashionable with the color coordination. About time. Perfect filling of a market niche.

uncomfortable for long term use... but i can see 13 year old girls going nuts for it...

(talking into thumb and pinkie) Yeah, I'm at the Metallica concert! Listen!

(holding up hand with thumb and pinkie as Devil's Horns) YEEEEEEAAAAAAH!

So much for text messaging.

I think you'll still be able to send text messages... you'll just have to learn ASL.

Hahaha!



In regards to texting and other functions.... I'm assuming that there is still a phone in the equation. My understanding is these would be blue tooth accessories. So if you need to text, you'd probably just dig the phone out of your pocket.

Thats pretty amazing. It is kind of pointless... but still amazing.

 

[David Jimerson]

I hate rings. Would never use it.

 

[ZazaCast]

I see how you get "hello" and "goodbye"... but how do you gesture "F*CK YOU"?

 

[ugafan]

shaka phone?

 

[Rick Meyer]

I see how you get "hello" and "goodbye"... but how do you gesture "F*CK YOU"?

And how do you slam it down to hang up on somebody when you want to make a point?

I hear they're developing a third, discreet accessory ring for that purpose.

Well turn one into a nose ring and the other into an earring and maybe they've got something there. Or how about a tongue stud?

Segal was bad ass for awhile. A refreshing action hero that strayed from the Rambo / Arnold type.

Check

1. Under Siege (1992)
2. Out for Justice
3. Marked for Death
4. Hard to Kill (1990)
5. Above the Law (1988)

I believe he helped bring Aikido into the American mainstream.
