Image Source: Total Recall
Intent: A palm comlink, a low-profile implant for those who want high function without altering their appearance -- or for those who are often in need of a secure comlink and need to travel light.
Manufacturer: iBorg Prosthetic Augments
Model: iBorg InTouch Palm Comlink
Affiliation: Open market
Modularity: Compatible with a variety of encryption packages
Production: Mass-produced
Material: Flexible electronics
Description:

• High-range, high-bandwidth personal comlink and video transmissions
• Comes with standard encryption, but supports high-end and proprietary encryption packages
• Optional direct link to firewalled neural implant
• Can connect with nearby HoloNet nodes, hyperspace/subspace comms, etc.
• Visual communication holoprojected into any glass, transparisteel, clear plastic, or glasteel surface as depicted above
• Vulnerable to EMP/ion damage/electrocution (disabled until reboot, data loss/corruption possible), but heavily insulated -- will not harm owner if short-circuited
• Multijump pingback comm tracer
• Not recommended for stealthy types unless completely turned off - high risk of light/sound/comm trace giving away position
• Cannot be tracked if turned off
• Short, relatively non-invasive surgery, mostly comparable to getting a tattoo all at once
• Removal takes somewhat more effort
• Restricted to audio and 2D video - 3D holographic projection not supported
• 2D video requires a fully transparent and reflective surface
