Man Has Nokia Phone Embedded In False Limb 171
judgecorp writes "A British man born with one arm has a Nokia phone dock embedded in his prosthetic limb. Apparently, Apple refused to have an iPhone suitably customized for the job. From the article: 'Mr Prideaux, of Wedmore, Somerset, said: "I think this is the first time this has ever been done in the world - and it is brilliant. I can now take calls and make texts just by using my one hand, while the phone sits inside my arm. The phone slots smoothly and securely within my limb and is easily removable, when required. I think this would help a lot of people with prosthetic arms - especially those who were not born with the disability. People who have had motorbike crashes and soldiers who have lost limbs - they could all benefit from this."'"

Now all he has to do is put a bluetooth headset in the artificial hand.
Imagine, speaker embedded in the tip of the thumb, and mic embedded in the tip of the pinky finger.
That would look awesome!

Does it count as a hands free kit when you're driving? Even if you only have one hand?
