  • Bluetooth pistol makes people think you're suicidal

    Sure, you could opt for a run-of-the-mill Bluetooth headset to get your chat on without needing to press a handset against your head. Or, if you're a bit more daring, you can turn a realistic AirSoft pistol in to a working Bluetooth headset of sorts. We imagine others' reactions to seeing an otherwise unassuming wireless subscriber [...]

  • Best Buy thinks we're idiots, charges $10 for Bluetooth headset pairing

    To be fair, Best Buy probably isn't too far off base with this latest "technical" service. While most of our readers are savvy enough to pair a Bluetooth headset with their handset in their sleep - with one hand tied behind their back, and going uphill in the snow - the general public is likely [...]

  • LG's Red, White and Bluetooth giveaway event in pictures; LG HBM-760 headset in words

    Freebies always draw large crowds. And so, when I heard that LG was giving away free Bluetooth headsets at the Peterson Automotive Museum, I had to check it out (for the readers, of course). Seeing as how it's a slow news day anyway, I hopped in the car and braved the triple-digit temperatures to check out [...]

  • Verizon launches LG VX8610 Decoy

    The title pretty much sums up what we're going to be talking about here. Verizon has gone live with their LG Decoy, in all its Bluetooth-headset-hiding glory. For a $179.99 purchase price Verizon is offering their new LG Decoy to any would-be subscribers willing to sign a 2-year contract and deal with rebates. The LG Decoy, as [...]

  • CSR debuts dual-mode Ultra Low Power (ULP) Bluetooth chip

    Wireless connectivity is the name of the game in the mobile industry, and Wibree, the next-generation Bluetooth standard, is making a splash with its new name. Wibree will now be known as ULP (Ultra Low Power) Bluetooth. ULP allows for 10 times lower power consumption during regular Bluetooth connection and a 50-fold decrease in power-draw during [...]

  • BlueAnt's new Bluetooth accessory lineup - Blueant V1 voice activated headset, Supertooth 3 handsfree speaker, M1 Bluetooth Speaker

    Like a tiny, digital ant that can carry 50 times its weight, BlueAnt's new Bluetooth accessories pack a wallop into compact and sleek packages. BlueAnt showed off their new V1 voice activated Bluetooth headset with dual microphones and noise reduction technology, their Supertooth 3 Bluetooth hands-free speakerphone, and their M1 Bluetooth speaker at CTIA yesterday. The [...]

  • Exactly what "bugs" did the iPhone v1.1.4 firmware fix?

    Right, most of us iPhone users are probably mocking Apple for trying to trick us into updating our iPhones with the new v1.1.4 firmware. But, if you've been experiencing some Bluetooth connection problems, or noticed some SMS text message ordering issues, you might want to seriously consider the bump up to v1.1.4. Turns out, the [...]

  • 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.
