LOL, I caught it. What an idiot. It almost seems too stupid, and maybe the producers are in on it to get better ratings.

A better idea would be to make a bluetooth device that is as small as a hearing aid.

trying to slam the 'phone' down when you're mad for dramatic effect would look hilarious.

The kicker for me is showering, swimming, etc. Any chance water gets in there and short curcuits you can kiss your brain goodbye.

I'm surprised no one has made an Orwellian reference yet.

If cell phone are reputed to emit cancer, imagine what this would do.

give us an IQ of 5000, but make us lose control of our bowels whenever the phone rings.

Well, if the guys that made up Splinter Cell are correct, the implant would be put into your neck, not your ear.

i caught this show, that guy was out to lunch, did you see the recharger. You have to sleep with a needle in your brain (okay only your inner ear), but crazy.
and as stated above this seems like an okay idea until you think about how fast tech becomes obsolete, have to have surgery every 4 years to get the newest model.

Both of those are pretty easily overcome.. there is inductive charging already that requires no physical contact, my toothbrush does this. Just put the necessary hardware into a plugin pillow.
Second one is harder, but you could engineer something that would be upgradable in situ, at least to a degree. You couldn't change the shape or size of the antenna so you'd have some constraints on frequencies and such, but otherwise you could do that.
The biggest problem with these and even current Bluetooth headsets is you look and feel like a moron while using one. I won't be happy until I can talk in my mind over one and not out loud.

While I applaud the idea of cyborgization, I feel the installation of dual .50 cal machine-guns into my forearms and a targeting laser replacing my left eye would be far more useful than being able to answer the phone with some doodad surgically installed into my skull.

I'm sure they already use some form of it.

It would be literally worthless. Everything in the military is based around the concept of easy repair and maintenance. An implanted device based around communication would be pretty dumb.
"Sarge my implanted radio just went down"
"Bummer Private let me just pull out my knife"
Plus if your captured the first thing you destroy is your code book and your encrypted radio gear. I doubt you could convince the average soldier to drive his head into a concrete wall to avoid his radio from falling into the wrong hands.
