Hearing Your Call Inside Your Head

All you Matrix lovers, even ones in rush-hour traffic...here's one for you. Sanyo has developed a new handset with a difference, one which enables users to listen to calls inside their heads - by conducting sound through bone. So no more straining to hear when in noisy situations...[Source: Mobile Commerce World]

The new Sanyo TS41 phone is equipped with a "Sonic Speaker" which transmits sounds through vibrations that move from the skull to the cochlea in the inner ear...If the user holds the handset to the top of the head, the back of the head, cheekbone or jaw and plugs his or her left ear, the call will be heard internally on the left side.
