"It is claimed to be the first 'smart earpiece' capable of translating between two languages"

 

I seriously think this thing will be damned awesome for everything in general with travelling, communication, and improving on and learning new languages. I don't know about how hygienic one might get though if you were to constantly change ears of one with waiters/waitresses, passerby's for directions etc.

 

What do you guys think? I reckon it'll be pretty sweet. Personally I prefer to wait for more refined versions of things though.
