Let your fingers do the talking

A Japanese company has invented the world's first wristwatch phone which works by transforming the user's finger into an earpiece.

...It consists of a wristband that converts digital signals into vibrations that are transmitted into the bones of the hand.

The user puts his finger into his ear for the vibrations to be picked up by the eardrum, which then transcribes them back into sound signals for the brain.

To talk, he or she simply speaks into a microphone on the wristband.

...By touching forefinger to thumb, the user starts or ends a call, and uses voice recognition technology to dial the number. There is no keypad.
