This is a great example of people taking a design/idea way too far. I can’t really add much more than what WIRED posits:
The handphone takes this madness a step further. Why have one simple, easy to use unit which can simply be held to the head when you can strap a mess of wires onto the back of your hand? Take a look at the picture. How would you dial it? And how would you do anything else while wearing it? Even the fixings are odd. Instead of a simple velcro strap (which seems good enough for both the microphone and speaker) you have two elastic straps. One to cut off the blood flow to your middle finger and one to do the same for your wrist.
That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this show up in a SkyMall/Sharper Image catalogue (were they not bankrupt).
