(updated to a link that has an actual picture)
I've heard lots about bone-conduction audio on a theoretical basis, but this is the first consumer product I remember seeing that actually uses it. So are we all going to be ditching our headphones for bonephones in a few years, or is it just a neat trick for specialized situations (like underwater use)?
And has anyone here actually heard this or something like it?
