To the budding entrepreneurs of Hacker News, I issue a challenge: develop a technology to replace speakerphones. There is nothing like being on the receiving end of a speakerphone and straining to understand what the guy in the back of the room is trying to say.<p>I can't say how this should work - that's up to you to work out. One solution might entail everyone synchronizing their smart phones. Another solution might involve a receiver and a room full of bluetooth headsets.<p>Perhaps I am thinking too narrowly about the problem, and some brand new mode of teleconferencing will render speakerphones obsolete. Regardless, thanks for your consideration! I look forward to never having to talk to a speakerphone again.
Ohk, so this idea pops up in my mind.<p>An application to direct calls from your speakerphones when you're at home (or office) [Can be done via NFC or Same Wifi connection]. Without sacrificing the quality of your conversation.<p>I'd love to see this feature in Android, quite possible.<p>Pros:<p>- You don't have to get up for a call every time<p>- Great Quality<p>- Hackable for Developers<p>Cons:<p>- You have to built a special hardware for that
