Another ring-finger cell phone

Yet another ring-finger cell phone, this time spotted by phoneyworld - but there is no link to the company who developed it. "The Finger Phone is a small bluetooth headset that you can wear like a ring. It remains connected to your cell phone through bluetooth, writes phoneyworld.

The user is expected to wear the ring on his index finger and then insert it into his ear when he wishes to talk. The "electromotive speaker" transmits vibrations through the finger."

I found a write-up in Reuters thanks to News.3Yen.com. The wearable handset device is called the ‘Yubi-Wa and is made by NTT DoCoMo.

Other ring-finger cell phones:

-- Technojewelry - Penta Phone, Ring Phone and GPS Toes - Technojewelry for IDEO incorporates emerging electronics into everyday attire. Penta Phone and Ring Phone are concepts for mobile phones.

-- The Ring Phone - The winning submission for the "2004 Siemens Design Challenge"was a phone consisting of two finger rings, one ring for listening and one for speaking.
