Oh, you thought Bluetooth accessories made you look crazy before? Oh-hoh-hoh. You just wait, friend. You just wait.
If Bluetooth earpieces are a 4 on the “How crazy do I look?” scale, this new concept from design studio bck will rank in at somewhere around a 13. Heres the gist of it: you wear two little Bluetooth-powered rings. You put the earpiece-ring on your thumb, and the microphone-ring on your pinky. When your phone call comes in, make the standard “talking-on-the-phone” hand gesture, and bam – your hand is now your phone. And everyone thinks you’re not only talking to yourself, but talking to yourself through your hand.
I’ll take 3.

“Honey, your boss is calling for you”
I’d rather have an ear ring and a nose ring than ‘talk to the hand’.
I don’t get it…this defeats the purpose of ‘hands-free’?!?! No different than holding the phone in your hand to talk.
Except that it makes you look batshit insane.
If this were cheap (i’m assuming it really wouldn’t be) I would get a pair for specifically that reason alone.
“What’s that Chief….. You’re where?.”
Inspector Gadget FTW!
Sorry but.. isn’t that kinda uncomfortable to maintain for long?
And what’s your average call time on a cell phone?
Mine goes from 20 secs to a whole minute.
@leroy: you’re on 2 smthg. nose / ear rings with sublingual extra battery. or simply use the saliva and the mandibula motion while chewing gum to recharge it :D
That’s pretty funny. No thanks though
Okay – this is just plain weird…
I can just imagine what Bluetooth paid some goob to come up with this.
No thanks!
I agree with the above poster, this seems to defeat the purpose of hands free. Seems like your hand would get fatigued overtime as well, especially for heavy cell users.
This is very clever. I would buy it in a minute (assuming the price is reasonable)
well you should see the japanese “dennou coil” anime, where this concept is taken as far as a reality. brilliant anime too.
