Embedding A Mobile Phone In Your Ear?
If you thought people walking down the street talking into their mobile phone headsets looked odd enough, just wait until mobile phones are completely embedded in your ear. Some researchers have apparently figured out a way to shrink wireless devices even more. They figure the technology may be useful for more embedded wireless systems, as well as getting a bit closer to creating all that "smart dust" we keep hearing about. Still, as with plenty of research projects, it will be quite some time before this technology gets anywhere close to a commercial product.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
