further work on "mexting".

So with the new form of input incorporated into a phone, how about a way to not have to look at the phone at all.

Looking at transfering the coded message into text, and then into audio. The phone could take the message once received and with a tap on the plates/mic. the message would play much like the current technology to allow text to voice on a computer.

With this technology added there would in theory be no need to look at the handset. Just have it around/on you so that you could hear you have a message, *tap* and it would play the message.

The functions of each tap could be defined for differant functions one tap to play, two to reply, three to delete etc. all at the customisation of the user.

In a sense this could also, if it took off with the general public, introduce a new breed of mobile handset, as a screen and GUI is not essential.

That may seem absurd but 50 years ago the thought of everyone carrying around a mobile phone, especially capable of what they are, was unimaginable.
