  • Tattoo-based mobile phone concept is powered by blood, is crazy cool

    If you're a fan of body-art, then you might like the idea of being able to interact with your tattoos - to the point of using your tattoos to place phone calls (even video calls). At the Greener Gadgets Design Competition, Jim Mielke demonstrated his subcutaneous (that's "under the skin" in non-biological speak) mobile phone [...]
  • The tiniest headset you'll never own - Brickhouse Security's Secret Service Invisible 2-way Micro Headset

    We’re all about super-tiny , inconspicuous headsets over here and Brickhouse Security’s newest headset really gets us going. The “Secret Service Invisible 2-way Micro Headset” from Brickhouse Security fits inside your ear canal and works in tandem with a hidden wireless transmitter that plugs into your mobile phone’s 2.5mm audio-output jack, making for a wireless headset that is virtually invisible (hence the “Invisible” part of the model-name). Brickhouse Security is offering this secret-agent worthy headset for secret-agent budgets that can take the $649.95 hit with ease. The Secret Service Invisible 2-way Micro Headset is the smallest headset that you’ll never be able to use/own. The question remains, how comfortable is this headset? We’d love to see other Bluetooth headsets on this size scale - as long as it’s comfortable. Give it a year, we’ll be likely be seeing products touting their “invisibility” left and right.

  • Jabra goes high-end with JX20 Pura Titanium Bluetooth headset

    Who says you need precious metals like gold or titanium to classify a gadget as high-luxury? There’s nothing like a bit of titanium-cladding to bring a taste of high-end luxury to an otherwise run-of-the-mill mobile gadget. This here is the Jabra JX20 Pura Titanium Bluetooth headset. As the name suggests, this little sucker is made of brushed anodized titanium and accented with high-gloss black trim. The Jabra JX20 Pura Titanium Bluetooth headset was designed by Jacob Jensen and sports Bluetooth 2.0, auto-pairing, extra ear-hooks and ear-bud gel inserts, and a talk-time of up to 6 hours. Unfortunately, the $179 price-tag is going to keep this thing from hitting the mainstream - the image above is probably the closest most of us will ever come to this device. That is, of course, unless Jabra wants to give us a review unit… Press release ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:Jabra showcases latest Bluetooth headsets; Receives award at CESJabra BT8040 Bluetooth Headset with Multi-point TechnologySolid GOLD Jabra JX10 Bluetooth HeadsetJabra BT8030 - the transforming speaker/headsetJabra BT3030 Bluetooth dog tag headsets
  • Belkin and Kodak team up to automatically pull pictures off your cameraphone

    When it comes to getting your precious pictures transferred from your mobile phone to your computer, there’s more than one way to skin this, umm, cameraphone. The one problem with all those picture-transferring options is that you have to actually finagle-around with USB-cables and software. Enter Belkin and Kodak. The two companies have teamed up to leverage their respective strengths to make it easier to get those pictures from your cellphone to your computer. The result is a new Bluetooth adapter and image-transfer software bundle from, well Kodak and Belkin. Kodak is bringing their digital picture prowess to the table with their Kodak Picture Upload Technology, while Belkin handles the hardware-end of the deal with their USB Bluetooth adapter. The Kodak Picture Upload Technology software works to help your cameraphone and computer recognize each other (when within range) and automatically transfer the picture files from your mobile phone to your desktop/laptop. Simply install the Kodak Picture Upload Technology software package on your Windows XP or Vista machine, plug in the USB Bluetooth adapter, and watch those image files magically transfer. Unfortunately, the fun is limited to Windows XP and Vista, so Mac-lovers will just have to deal with WiFi-based iPhone sync-ing . The Belkin/Kodak Bluetooth adapter/software bundle is available for $49.99. Keep reading for a full list of compatible cellphones.

  • NTT DoCoMo Sound Leaf + Bluetooth headset with bone conduction speaker

    When we talk about bone conduction technology , we’re usually referring to the microphone-end of the conversation ( Aliph Jawbone , anyone?)- bone conduction helps eliminate background chatter and noise to give your listener a clearer sound. Well, this Bluetooth headset (in the loosest of terms, since you can’t actually wear this thing on your ear) from NTT DoCoMo rocks bone conduction technology on the receiver-end of the device - that means you’ll be able to hear the person on the other end clearly, even in the noisiest of environments. The NTT DoCoMo Sound Leaf + bone conducting headset connects to your phone via Bluetooth and delivers sound-vibrations directly to your inner ear. There’s no need for a speaker, since the convo is vibrated right into your ear, but there are two microphones on the little flip - one of the directional variety and one regular microphone. The dual-microphone setup should help isolate your voice and cut down on background chatter, which you’ll probably need if you’re in an environment that’s so loud that you need bone conduction technology to hear the conversation. Oh, and bone conduction should give the hard-of-hearing a pretty cool (if geeky-looking) way to keep in touch with friends and family. Anyway, the NTT DoCoMo Sound Leaf isn’t likely to hit our Yankee shores without some clever importing, so keep on drooling over yet another cool Japanese-only gadget that you’ll never get your hands on.

  • IOGEAR's Bluetooth Audio Transport with SRS WOW enhanced sound

    SRS Labs’ is known for their sound enhancing SRS WOW technology found in many portable music players. So, what are they doing in the mobile space? Well, it seems that SRS Labs’ SRS WOW HD sound enhancing technology has piqued the interest of electronic gear-maker IOGEAR. The pair has teamed up to bring SRS WOW HD to the new IOGEAR Bluetooth Audio Transport - the perfect match to stream music from your Bluetooth-enabled phone. The IOGEAR Bluetooth Audio Transport is basically an audio gateway that promises to “dramatically improve the audio performance of content played on any Bluetooth-enabled audio device.” Streaming Bluetooth audio from your mobile phone is picked up by the IOGEAR Bluetooth Audio Transport, cleaned up with SRS technology, and pushed to your headphones/earphones. There’s even a microphone on the Bluetooth Audio Transport for when you want to have a crystal-clear sounding phone conversation. IOGEAR’s Bluetooth Audio Transport with SRS WOW HD sound-enhancement will run you about $80 from your favorite electronics retailer. Availability - now. Now, if only our iPhone had Bluetooth audio capabilities. Hmmmm, maybe there’s an update on the way that might enable such a feature.

  • Sony Ericsson HBH-PV703 Bluetooth headset quitely released

    We’re used to manufacturers flooding the interwebs with press releases and pictures of their newest product launch, but it seems Sony Ericsson has decided to take the more modest approach. Hidden within a press release for their Sony Ericsson K660i is a mid-range Bluetooth headset - the Sony Ericsson HBH-PV703 Bluetooth headset. The Sony Ericsson HBH-PV703 Bluetooth headset isn’t that much of a looker - it’s a mid-level model, after all - but it boasts some fairly impressive battery life. A full-charge is good for 10 hours of talk-time or 350 hours of standby-time, so you’ll likely never miss a call for want of power. The Sony Ericsson HBH-PV703 also features automatic pairing, voice dialing, and Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR. We’re expecting the Sony Ericsson HBH-PV703 Bluetooth headset to drop in Q1 2008, price is not yet known.

  • Targus Bluetooth Mobile TumbPad when the tiny keyboard on your smartphone just doesn't cut it

    Full QWERTY keyboards are a must for any self-respecting mobile warrior. Be they hard-keys or virtual keyboards, doing any type of productive work on a mobile device without them is almost impossible. So, what do you do when you outgrow that tiny on-screen or hard-key keyboard on your favorite smartphone? You pick up Targus’s Bluetooth Mobile ThumbPad. The handy Bluetooth-connected module features a large (not ful-size, but big enough for thumb-typing) QWERTY keyboard layout and basically replaces your minute hard-keys or inconvenient virtual-keyboard. If you just need a larger thumb-board for your mobile productivity tasks, or you just want to be able to shoot out those instant messages with speed and ease, the Targus Bluetooth Mobile ThumbPad is a great solution. The ThumbPad slips onto the bottom of your device and occupies the space that would have been taken up by your keyboard or on-screen keyboard - so you don’t lose any really valuable screen real estate. It’s just 10 x 6 x 1.5 cm and weighs 65g, so the Targus Bluetooth Mobile ThumbPad is fairly small. But, you’ll have to have a Bluetooth enabled Smartphone or PDA with Windows Mobile 2003/2005 (Pocket PC and Smartphone) / Symbian OS / Palm OS5. Hit the link for more pics.

  • Motorola debuts the Motorola MOTOPURE H12 Universal Bluetooth headset

    Following on their “TrueComfort” line of uber-comfortable Bluetooth headsets , Motorola has just announced their newest Bluetooth headset - the Motorola MOTOPURE H12 Universal Bluetooth headset. The sleek, silver, almost Mac-like design (notice the MacBook Pro-esque main button and perforated metallic bezel) adds a touch of style to the headset’s impressive feature set. And, the MOTOPURE H12 isn’t just a looker, it’s diminutive size makes it all but disappear on your ear. The MOTOPURE H12 Universal Bluetooth headset rocks Motorola’s CrystalTalk audio-enhancing technology, previously only found on the company’s high-end mobile phones, to ensure that you can hear the conversation clearly, even in the noisiest of environments. But, it’s not all about hearing the conversation, Motorola wants to make sure that you can be heard clearly and accurately as well. The MOTOPURE H12’s noise-reduction technology works in tandem with a dual-microphone setup to isolate your voice and deliver sharp, natural sounding speech to the listener. But, all the features in the world do nothing for the user experience if the headset is a pain to wear. So, Motorola has also designed the MOTOPURE H12 with the “ TrueComfort ” philosophy of headset design that we saw launched with the Motorola H680 and H375 Bluetooth headsets. As the new flagship of Motorola’s Bluetooth headset lineup, the MOTOPURE H12 Universal Bluetooth headset packs in all the features that Motorola has at its disposal. The feature-set reads like a rundown of Motorola’s Bluetooth headset know-how - high-fashion design, CrystalTalk technology, noise-reduction DSP with dual microphones, and TrueComfort wearability. Oh, and the MOTOPURE H12 Universal Bluetooth headset is good to go for 5.5 hours of talk-time with continuous noise-reduction. What more could you ask for? What’s that you say? You want the price? Well, dear reader, the price is not yet...
  • 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.

  • LG Prada Bluetooth headset busts onto the scene

    LG has busted out their newest Bluetooth headset for the LG Prada-loving set. The LG Prada Bluetooth headset looks like a good match for the LG KE850 Prada Phone that wears the same namesake, but we’re not sure if we’re feeling the somewhat elongated look and that gaudy “Prada” logo emblazoned on the face of this thing. Judging by the size of this thing (in comparison to the ear hook, since that’s all we have to go on), it’s going to be fairly big. But, it looks like the long-ish form-factor makes room for the LCD display that will make quick work of showing you battery life, volume, device name, and maybe even Caller ID. Again, we don’t have much info on this thing, but expect to pay a pretty penny for something that wears the “Prada” badge. We’re sure it’ll go nicely with that gold-plated LG KE850 Prada Phone.
