...well, willing to wait for it

Submitted by Corp! Magazine on August 2nd, 2010

Imagine sitting in a conference room and your ringing cell phone interrupts the meeting because you forgot to turn it off. Or, you have it set to vibrate and everyone looks at you because they all know that sound. What if, instead, your ring finger vibrated silently. You turn your hand over and there, crawling along on a curved screen on your ring, was the text message you'd been waiting for.

Or, when your finger vibrates you slip off the ring, give it a twist and put in on -- not in -- your ear and start talking.

That's what can happen early in the first quarter of 2011. It's called the O.R.B. (short for Orbital Ring Band) and it was a hit at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

While you wait, in the last quarter of this year you can order a Sound Band. It looks like a traditional "leash" for your glasses, except that it uses the same breakthrough technology of the O.R.B. to conduct high-quality sound through the carilage of your ear -- and just as high quality through stereo microphones not much bigger than the period at the end of this sentence.

Corp! has tried the Sound Band, and what's amazing is that you don't feel the urge to shout as you do with a typical Bluetooth headset. You just talk. Like an ad once said, it's almost like being there.

We'll keep you up-to-date when these high-tech game changers go to market -- the O.R.B. through stores that sell cell phones, the Sound Band where you buy glasses or sunglasses -- or go to www.hybratech.com if you want to find out the latest yourself.
