Comments: Deaf hacker rewrites implant-firmware so he can enjoy music again

Amazing! What about realtime voice translation? I mean I know that's probably far outside the computing spec of these devices, however, it seems with a few additions it should be possible.. like piping in the audio from another device (pocketpc?) so that it can be processed. I imagine it would be like an EyeTap, but audio instead of video. I'm not deaf, not in the least, BUT I have always been interested in having some sort of "line-in" type device for my ears in a sense where I could pipe sound directly in, no headphones, no quality loss, no background noise. Just pure sound. I'm sure we're still years away, and it's all just a pipe dream now, but that's my two cents ;)

BTW: love the site!!
