Excellent proof of concept.

I am not into Bluetooth stuff, so I can't say "I can't wait for the Son-of-iBone", but this person is very creative nevertheless.

Every technical person should be a little bit of an artist, I say.

Kill me now. Why must hackers make everything so hard to read? Are they all just 7 year olds?

Comic layouts are fun and easy. Comic Life is a fun little program to mess around with.

Except that it's been done.



http://http://tekkeon.com/site/products-mytalker.php

"Take your calls without missing a beat. myTalker™, the Bluetooth™ gateway from Tekkeon, turns your iPod or MP3 player into a Bluetooth headset. This tiny accessory uses your own music headphones for your calls, so there’s no need to miss a call, or frantically juggle your headphones and mobile phone. You answer and make calls with a single touch of the gateway. And you have one-touch access to advanced calling features like last number redial, voice dialing, and call waiting.

myTalker clips to your shirt or collar, and connects between your iPod or MP3 player, and your music headphones. The gateway uses Bluetooth v1.2 technology to communicate with your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone. You answer and make calls directly from myTalker, so there’s no need to hold your phone. Simply store it anywhere in close proximity."
If this post is in the Lounge forum, it is likely to be my own opinion, and not representative of the position of MacNN.com.
