Cell Phone Idea: Speech Controlled Device

A cell phone is limited by both size and cost largely by its display. With the increase in popularity of culturally-acceptable Bluetooth headsets, cell phones sans displays can be manufactured cheaper, more efficient, and more convenient. The solution is to use text-to-speech for input and speech-to-text for output. For areas where it may not be appropriate for speaking, there are headsets which read vibrations in vocal chords.

Market: Low-Tier, Global Cell Phone Market

Expansion:
- Output to portable projectors
- Integration with other modular products (i.e. module for phone, module for display - cheaper to upgrade)
