Mvox Duo: Could Star Trek Communicator Be Next?

Garrett Smith has a post about a strange looking communications device called a Duo, by a company named Mvox. It’s being labelled by Mvox as the world’s first wearable Smart Communicator. It has one-touch voice dialing, has hands-free headset, and claims a 100% voice recognition rate. What’s more, you can use its Bluetooth wireless or USB capabilities as a headset for several VoIP soft phones including Skype, Gizmo Project, Google Talk and others. Its release date is in November, with a price of US$199.99. While the device looks kind of cool, I can’t help but think that if it had metallic legs added to it that it might be some sort of eavesdropping robot bug.
