I don't know why it took so long. Maybe I missed an earlier iteration. Anyway, Think Geek has a TNG bluetooth badge that works with your smartphone. Available in Nov. Just for geeks though.

http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/jmgi/?cpg=tw#tabs

Some data:
-Plays classic communicator chirp sound effect when you press it
-Connects to your phone or device via Bluetooth®
-Built-in microphone for hands-free calling
-High quality micro-speakers by Massive Audio
-Once connected, one touch answers/ends calls, plays/pauses audio, or accesses Siri, Google Now, or Cortana

I kind of wanted that.

But sry $80 is a bit rich for something I honestly would be embarrassed to wear in public...

I might get one for my mom, just for shits and giggles ;)

i can't count the amount of times I've had the "why haven't they made a communicator bluetooth or wifi yet?" conversation. I mean, c'mon now, CBS. You should've sold me this years ago.

I give no fucks about what people think. I'll be buying one if it comes with a solid warranty.

And they don't ship outside us/Canada so that's good.
For my wallet.

It's so sad, but so good at the same time.

Oh, c'mon. We already wear a headset, Track IR reflector, mic, etc, what's one more thing? :lol:

But I admit, I'd be to embarrassed to wear it out in public. In the car yes, but otherwise, probably not. Maybe on the golf course. But then who wants phone calls when they're playing golf.

Maybe we need a list showing when it's acceptable to wear.
