From the report: Even though it's one of the tiniest cell phones you've probably ever seen, it would be difficult to lose this one. As its name implies, the "ring-cellphone" is worn on the finger, and includes all the components of a functional cell phone.

This ring-cellphone concept, designed by industrial designer Tao Ma of Nanjing, China, incorporates fashionable design with technology. The stylish ring is designed to be worn by both men and women on either hand, and features a small round screen that looks like a gem.

The device offers only the most basic communication functions of making or receiving a call. When answering the phone, users draw out a mini-microphone to talk into, and hold it close to their ear to listen. The ring also has tiny buttons, and Tao Ma explains that its operation is simple (though it´s difficult to tell if the phone includes a full number pad or if it uses another dialing scheme). The ring-cellphone can also be charged on a sleek, vase-like charging base.

Tao Ma is previously known in the world of "fashion-tech" as the designer of the Bracelet Phone and the Quartz Tele Concept. He also won the 2004 Sony Ericsson Mobile Phone Design Competition, a contest geared open to participants from universities and colleges in China.

    I think I'll stick to a bluetooth, thanks. It'd be great for kids though, make it bright and colorful and then stick it on their finger so you can call them whenever you need to. Kids would love it.

    Now talking to your hand will become the new rage. It will be harder to distinguish the insane from the sane now, but I like a good challenge.

    The next thing, Chibichan10?

    Can you say Eye-pod? And soon after, borg implants maybe?

    It's called a Commlink. It's a combination phone, computer, MP3 player, game platform, GPS device, and Camera. They can be integrated into clothing, held as a squarish device, or implanted. Most are rigged for neural input and feedback.

    Wouldn't this make random people be tempted to say, "Beam me up, Scottie!" It's already bad enough the public looks they are talking to imaginary friends on their Bluetooth headsets.
