    How long before we have Star Trek type "comm badges"?

    I figure with cellphones getting so advanced and yet so small, and topping it off with the whole earpiece and dangling mic.... it seems logical that eventually we'll just have a piece of jewelry of sorts that'll just do all the work for us by voice activation or a touch.

    I hope they don't work exactly as they did on that show though... where you just suddenly start talking and you just turn and talk to someone else and the communicator knows when to start and stop transmitting. I'd probably be calling someone a moron and they'd still be on the line.

        I'd love to have a phone that was my headset. I've got that motorola headset too and it would rock not to have to have the phone too.
        SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

          I wouldn't be surprised if there were already working models somewhere in the world, especiallly the Orient. Price and a workable interface are about the only things I could think of that would currently hold them back.

              The weird looks have nothing to do with your headset dude.

                    Your Trekkie Communicator Is Ready

                    NEW YORK - It's no accident that the conference rooms at Vocera Communications headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., are named after characters from the Star Trek universe--Kirk, Spock and Picard.
