The old dog & bone....

In Japan, Sanyo Electric is launching a TS41 mobile phone that you can use just by pressing it to your face. "The tiny vibrations from the phone travel through bones in the face to the ear — even if the phone isn't placed next to the ear, reports AP. "The voice sounds clear even if you're wearing earplugs," says Sanyo. "NTT DoCoMo, has an experimental model called Finger Whisper that is merely a wristband with a microphone and earphone in it. Users talk into the wristband while sticking a finger in their ears, sending it vibrations that the ear and the brain convert to sound," says the report.
