Sanyo offers a bone-rattling innovation

Talking on the phone even in crowded, noisy places will be made easy thanks to Sanyo's new TS41 handset that sends vibrations through the human skull to relay sound, according to USA Today via Techdirt.

"It works as a regular cell phone when the folding handset is opened, but users can also use it when it is closed by putting it next to their faces. The tiny vibrations from the phone travel through bones in the face to the ear — even if the phone isn't placed next to the ear. "The voice sounds clear even if you're wearing earplugs".
