Japanese telecom giant NTT DoCoMo's Multimedia Laboratories division has invented the world's first wristwatch phone that works by bone conduction. Called Finger Whisper, the phone works by converting the sound that would normally go into a phone's speaker into vibrations in the wrist and hand bones. You stick your finger in your ear to hear the caller. With a finger in your ear, the microphone is close enough to your mouth to pick up the sound of your voice. Voice recognition enables users to dial, and users hang up by touching forefinger to thumb. Folks, I'm not making this up! The phone is currently in the prototype stage.
