Concept – Cell Phone Headset

With all the buzz around smartphones why not boil down the cell phone to it’s simplest form, a phone. I’m sure there are plenty of people out there that would love to simple have a "mobile phone". Forget about the camera, ability to surf the web, text, etc. Just a phone that could be used to make/receive calls. That got me thinking, why not make the worlds smallest phone.

How could this be accomplished you may ask? It would be a simple combination of three existing technologies, cell phone + headset + voice recognition software. The device would be a cell phone headset. To operate the phone all you would have to do is give voice commands similar to using a cell phone’s Bluetooth feature in a car. You could either push a button on the headset to activate the phone or do it via voice command. You would then simply have to say the number you wish to dial and the headset would dial the number. It would be that simple. When someone calls you the headset would either say who’s calling you (if you have the number stored) or would announce the number. At that point you could either push a button on the headset ot answer the phone or simply say, “answer”. Maybe a simple program could be written that would allow you to enter a phone book into the headset. All you would have to do is plug the headset into a docking station which could connect to your computer.

I have no idea if a headset phone has been invited yet, but if it hasn’t I think it would be an awesome idea. Anyone out there can feel free to use my idea. All I ask is for a little credit once it’s been built and released.
