I’m skeptical of the early 2010 release date for this thing, since it seems pretty concept-y at this point. And how is it going to stay on your ear?!
The idea is fine, though: in one form it’s a ring that you wear, I suppose, on your finger. When you get a call, the little OLED display (deluxe version only) lights up and you can answer it by twisting the ring into its earpiece form. Somehow I don’t believe it’ll work as well as they want it to.
There will at least be different sizes of rings, but I can’t imagine they’ll be comfortable to wear, since they look pretty girthy. It also looks like an alien implant or something. Not exactly haute couture, but at least it’s distinctive. Supposedly it’ll be out in early 2009 for $129, or $175 for the deluxe one with the screen.
In general, looks awesome. But how do they account for different ring sizes? And will they make them out of platinum so guys can make it double as a wedding ring?
What if I have really big ears and really small fingers?
Then I feel really sorry for you :)
If this thing actually works, I was just thinking to wear it around a belt loop if it’s too bulky. At least it’ll be easier to carry than my current headset.
This thing looks pretty cool but it also reminds me of something slimy from that’s about to go into my brain and take over my mind…I think I like it. Hope this thing works, I’d get one to try out. http://ziggytek.com/
Yeah, I feel like it reminds me of something specific, but I can’t put my finger on it.
I can really only hear out of one ear to begin with but I’d buy one just for the functionality
Nice gadget… i like it…
I like this idea, …. I have been looking for a bluetooth handsfree that “lights up/flashes” when you get a call. So, the idea of a caller ID display is a bonus as far as I am concerned.
When is it out in the UK??
I think you are wrong…it is not creepy…it is oh so cool.
BTW, it will be out in early 2010, not 2009.
