Yes, I believe there are 'ports' on the device. Serial probably.

It's not a cell phone accessory.

OK, time for a hint....

Think audio.

It uses a microphone, but it doesn't record (as far as I know)

A wearable translator?

Do the holes in the face selectively pass or restrict particular frequencies, or are the holes just decorative?

2oddSox

Apart from letting sound in (and out) I think the holes are someone's idea of a funky design.

What ever gave you that idea? ;)

That boat is pretty cool. I read an article about it at home a couple of months back. I think he's a Kiwi who invented it but needed UK pounds and backing to get it to production. Interesting machine alright.

Darn, I had to leave - I was thinking along these lines: "when is a speaker not a speaker? It's a mic" - and then my daughter (ms. perpetual motion) was up from her nap...

Congrats werty!
