         5 . The system of  claim 4  wherein the physiological sensor comprises a pulse oximeter. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 4  wherein the physiological sensor comprises a temperature sensor. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the right ear piece further comprises a physiological sensor. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7  wherein the physiological sensor comprises a pulse oximeter. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7  wherein the physiological sensor comprises a temperature sensor. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the left ear piece is configured for receiving a purchase request and communicating the purchase request through the transceiver of the left ear piece. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the right ear piece is configured for receiving a purchase request and communicating the purchase request through the transceiver of the right ear piece. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the transceiver of the left ear piece is adapted for communicating with the transceiver of the right ear piece. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the left ear piece further comprises an accelerometer. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the right ear piece further comprises an accelerometer. 
     
     
         15 . An earpiece comprising:
 an ear piece housing;   a short range transceiver disposed within the ear piece housing;   at least one input sensor disposed within the ear piece housing; and   a speaker disposed within the ear piece housing;   an inertial sensor disposed within the ear piece housing; and   a physiological sensor disposed within the ear piece housing.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15  wherein the ear piece is configured for receiving a purchase request and communicating the purchase request through the short range transceiver. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16  wherein the purchase request is made via a voice command received by the at least one input sensor. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 15  wherein the physiological sensor is a pulse oximeter. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 15  wherein the physiological sensor is a temperature sensor. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 15  wherein the ear piece is configured for generating audio associated with a purchase request made using the device. 
     
     
         21 . An earpiece comprising:
 an ear piece housing;   a short range transceiver disposed within the ear piece housing;   at least one input sensor disposed within the ear piece housing; and   a speaker disposed within the ear piece housing;   wherein the earpiece is adapted to sense and interpret position or movement information.   
     
     
         22 . The earpiece of  claim 21  further comprising an inertial sensor and wherein the position or movement information is sensed with the inertial sensor. 
     
     
         23 . The earpiece of  claim 21  wherein the earpiece is configured to communication with as second earpiece to play stereophonic audio to a user.
