Docomo Sound Leaf phone shades your ears from city noise pollution

soundleaf1.jpg

NTT Docomo decided to end the year off with one last tech flourish in form of the Sound Leaf Plus Bluetooth cell phone. Looking like a cross between a robot finger and an electric shaver, the most unique feature of the Sound Leaf is that it uses bone conduction to transmit sound to the user.

The bone conduction technology is designed to defeat the ambient noise of urban environments without blowing your eardrums out. Running on just two AAA batteries the Sound Leaf will be available in Japan in February of next year for just 13,000 yen ($116).

Hello dvice.com,
Me, myself and I are here to send all your veiwers a very important message about the future. How is it possible to live the future, when we are always living in the present. Now, not all of you may have psycic powers like myself, so that means you have to live in the present and NOT the future! In conclusion, that means that today when you leave your house, turn RIGHT, walk down the road until you reach the sign saying ASHGROVE KELP 2 MILES. At this sign there will be a woman in a green sombrero named Maria. She will give you your mission from there! Please follow out your mission or Maria will find you. Thanks! =D

love,
Jim Beans
