  • Sony Ericsson's HCB-150 car handsfree tells you who's calling

    Filed under: Sony Ericsson , Accessories Since looking around your car to read a small display while you're driving seems like a somewhat poor plan, Sony Ericsson has introduced the HCB-150 that clips to a visor and reads out the caller's name with a (hopefully non-creepy) text-to-speech engine in addition to a more traditional OLED readout if you simply must take your eyes off the road. It supports up to five pairings, uses Bluetooth 2.0, is battery powered for double duty as a portable speakerphone, and should be available next quarter.

  • Venturi Mini uses lots of RF to get music from phone to car stereo

    Filed under: Multimedia , Accessories We've seen more efficient ways of piping tunes from phones to stereos, but admittedly, they usually involve a wire or two. The Venturi Mini, now being offered by Verizon Wireless, performs the wondrous feat of receiving music streamed to it via stereo Bluetooth and relaying it on to your car's head unit by way of FM transmitter, making the whole process completely wire-free. "But wait," as they say in the industry, "that's not all." The cigarette lighter socket-powered device doubles as a handsfree that cleverly pauses your music when the time comes to take a call. Grab the multitalented wonder now for $129.99 -- and if you live in Washington or Oregon , the sooner, the better. [Via MobileBurn ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Vero ENB-100 - The World's First Solar Powered Bluetooth Portable Car Kit

    Tired of swapping out different power adapters to make sure all your favorite mobile gadgets get some sweet electrical juice through your car’s cigarette lighter port? We sure are - that’s why we’ve resorted to bringing an auto power inverter with multiple outlets. Vero’s apparently got our back - they’ve released a new portable Bluetooth car kit that won’t add to the jumble of power-cords already messing up our front-passenger seat. The Vero ENB-100 portable Bluetooth car kit is completely solar charged - the first such device to ever make that claim. We’d love wireless charging technology , but we’ll take solar-power in the interim. The Vero ENB-100’s sleek lines measure up to the size of a credit card - a credit card that’s 13.3 mm thick and weighs 60g. We love the noise canceling DSP technology and omni-directional microphone that gives the Vero ENB-100 crystal clear sound quality - even with high-winds and road noise. Three LED lights give you a heads up on your Bluetooth link, call status, solar status, and battery status. But, it doesn’t end there - Bluetooth 2.0, multiple profile support, 15 hour talktime, and 600 hour standby time round out the Vero ENB-100’s feature set.
