So instead of annoying your boss with a buzzing in your pants pocket you can suddenly look like you've been goosed?

The other problem is that if it's not directly on your person it'll be a bit useless. At least you tend to notice if something in your backpack or bag suddenly starts vibrating.

Imagine it on a metal table, with everyone sitting around having a meeting, touching the table.

The phone itself doesn't bear electrodes. They're in a pad that the user wears, which is wirelessly connected to the phone.

And I thought that I hated when the phone rings while I'm in the shower.

Yeah, that's what I read.

On the other hand, I have a co-worker that will take someone's phone, if left unattended, and change their ring, or change their greeting to "Hey Loser" or other such shinanigans. I'd love him to get one of those so I could change his setting to STUN and call him repeatedly. Now if only I could choose where he'd wear the electrodes . . .

Karl, this person claims to be an adult?

I mean my senior year in high school a friend took my phone and sent dumb text messages to other friends, but a co worker?

Well, yeah. Several of us have had our adulthood called into question over the years. [Blushing]

I think the first sign of true adulthood is getting over it. [Wink]
