For the cyberpunk who has everything - a telephone for your teeth
Tanka
I'm sold. How much and how long do I have to wait?

Actually, there is currently a rudimentary form of cybereyes (you get a general 3-d outline of things in your way) in use today, and cyberears are currently in development by Texas Instruments. There's also some research going on for a doodad that can be placed in a paralysed person's brain which would let them move the mouse cursor on a screen (although moving a wheelchair is likely not far off.)
Cyberteeth are all very interesting, but I'd rather have my phone in a over-the-ear pickup/speaker system similar to the bluetooth models sold today. It would be fantastically hard to do, but possible.

WOW, I want one, that is hands free with a difference!!!

the only problem would be calling out, how would you put in a phone number??

Unless it is voce activated?

maybe it's bluetooth technology.

If it is, take my name off the list.

Just in case you're being serious...

Bluetooth is a wireless protocol. A very shitty one, at that.

Yes, tanka. Thank you. I was just enjoying the coincidence while you merely shudder with dread.
