It's so people can imitate Doctor Evil and still record their voice.
Mr. Bond.
I am going to kill you by cutting you in half with the Sunstar Laser.
But first...let me tell you my brilliant plan...
lol, cheese grater!
Say that to the Apple fanbois with their macbook pro and mac pro... you don't see them calling it a cheese grater.
I understand Mac pros, but the holes on the macbook pro aren't really.
Oh.. so you mean that's not what those nice holes on my Mac Pro are for?? And all this time, I thought that Apple was all about functionality over form... :-\
*jingle* Mister F! */jingle*
arrested development rulez
they claim it looks fantastic used as jewelery when in standby mode...
lies!
its not wireless, so whats the point?
-Ash-
They didn't even orient the mic jack inline with the ring! At the VERY least you could have it on your finger with a flesh-colored mic cable running up your sleeve to the recorder! I mean come on!
Umm... Maybe even make it wireless? With the mic/ring that big, you surely can squeeze in a battery somewhere...
Thats not very discrete at all.
It gives "talk to the hand" a whole new meaning.
I see what you did there.
Winnar.
All we need is a ring for your thumb that has a speaker and hey presto, you can actually speak to your hand when you imitate using the phone. Now THAT would be ironic... or would it?
You fail at irony.
How ironic.
lol cheese grater- Nilay is a funny man indeed
For some reason, I thought "speaker" when I read "microphone".
It'd be pretty cool to have a tiny speaker ring, but it'd be even cooler if they were cuff links. You could have your own soundtrack playing all the time, when you're dressed up.
Of course, I suppose it's easier just to use your damn cell phone...
Why did they put it on a LCD?
That is one shallow persons ring.
James Bond wouldn't approve.
Should the title read: "Sterling silver ring TRIPLES as microphone, tiny cheese grater?"
Dirge!
Please! People...
This is for folks in third world countries where they can't afford separate cheese graters.
Where is the microphone + speaker cuff links pair!?
No, no, you _look_ into my nose and _talk_ into my lapel.
...
I'm still waiting for the shoe-phone a la Maxwell Smart.
My question, is where do you buy the tiny cheese?
$105!!!? i could make one out of an old pair of headphones and a bunch of solder for free!
