The user

Up to 80% of women report missing calls to their mobile phones because they don’t hear the ringer or feel the vibration when the phone is stashed in a purse or other bag. A smaller but significant percentage of men miss calls while their phones are in pockets; briefcases or just in another room. In noisy environments such as airports; stadiums and conventions the problem is exacerbated.

The experience

My Link provides a wearable window to your phone (or phones) via a Bluetooth wireless connection. Not a speakerphone or headset, My Link alerts you to incoming calls and messages by any user-defined profile combination of blinking LED, ringtone and vibration. My Link also features a simple display showing incoming caller ID and received message count.

My Link is integrated with a strong clip that may be safely clipped to a purse, clothing, belt or strap, making it easily accessible no matter what you’re wearing or carrying.
Use My Link in conjunction with a wireless headset for a completely hands-free mobile life.

Move My Link from purse to briefcase to jacket label effortlessly. Pair My Link with multiple phones, and you’re always ready to go.

My Link does not damage clothing or accessories, is water resistant and viewable in strong daylight. My Link may incorporate a touchscreen interface for simple and quick control of profiles and ringer muting.

    An excellent idea and my wife would be your first customer.

    Best regards,

  3. Harry says:

    Excellent IDEA, who’s TIME has come. Necessary accessory for every cell phone user. As the phones have gotten smaller, and fold in 1/2, it is harding to find them, and open them up as well, often time requiring 2 hands. In our multi-tasking world, this small device extends our senses to be able to know what is going on, and where our small devices are.

  4. Bonnie Shubb says:

    What a super idea! I can’t tell you how many times I have missed calls when my phone has been with me–right there in my purse!

  5. Lynne says:

    Oh yes, I would be the SECOND customer. Just what I am looking for.

  6. Jerry says:

    Very marketable. Send me info on your IPO.

  7. Gordon says:

    Here in China, would be welcomed even it couldn’t be ripped off!
