Sony Ericsson Develops Contact Headphones 173
TechnologyResource writes "Sony Ericsson has just introduced the MH907 headphones. The headphones will pause or play your music based on contact; eliminating the use of a pause or stop button. Removing one ear bud will pause the music. Removing both ear buds will stop the music. Both ear buds have to be in your ear to play the music. According to Sony Ericsson, this will allow you to 'play your music and answer phone calls just by inserting the buds into your ear or taking them out.'"

What if you're missing one ear?

I'm sure you can stick the second ear bud somewhere else. ...perhaps in the ear of your scantily clad model?

Simple: Insert one into a similarly sized cavity within reach of the cord. I recommend a nostril.

Are people really that lazy that they would buy specialized devices just so they don't have to hit a button?
Are you really that lazy that you would buy a specialized device to spin the CD instead of manually rotating it by hand?

but considering this is Sony, it is very likely that the headphones will overheat and explode in your ear, cause a commotion at a UN meeting, install a rootkit on anything you insert it in, and lose a format war with something else on the market.
