Yubi-Wa: Wearable handset featuring a bone conduction transceiver

(via yahoo news), this amazing device:

The prototype handset which the company believes is the world’s first wearable handset, features a bone conduction transceiver, and is used by inserting a finger with the device into the earhole, the company officials said. The exhibition runs from Tuesday until Saturday and feature around 700 companies in this year. REUTERS/Issei Kato
