Strange gadget promises to keep your conversations private in public places

The gadget is called a Hushme. It bills itself as the "world's first voice mask for mobile phones." This absurd-looking contraption is designed to help you keep your conversations private when you're in a public space.

There are two main ways that Hushme masks your voice. The first is the gadget itself, which muffles your voice, Bane style. The second is a speaker built into the mask, which can play sounds while you're talking. You may scare people where ever you go, but no one will be eavesdropping on your converstaions.
