When the phone rings, turn your finger ring into an earring
Too cool to be true? The Orb Bluetooth headset folds neatly into a ring you can wear on your finger when it's not in use. A tiny FOLED (that's flexible organic light-emitting diode) display shows caller ID and calendar info. To activate the headset, you just twist it from a ring into an "S" and stick it in your ear; it receives your audio via bone conduction.
And best of all, unlike products like Apple's original bluetooth headset, the Orb will come in different ring sizes, to fit all comers.
We sure hope this thing's real! Gizmag says it's due to hit the market come January 2010. It'll be a great new way to ring in the New Year. (Sorry.)
