, Apr 20th 2012 Discuss [1]

What we’ve got here today is a pair of earbuds that do not plug into your smartphone – they connect entirely with Bluetooth. This unit is the BackBeat GO from Plantronics, a pair of earbuds which act wirelessly in every way, containing their own rechargeable battery unit inside their nearly weightless body and connecting, again, with Bluetooth to any Bluetooth-enabled device you have on hand. Not one for frills, Plantronics has created a pair of earbuds that sound fabulous and have such a low profile that your only worry will be misplacing them because they’re so tiny!

Braven Bluetooth speakers offer daisy-chain and mobile charging

There's a lot of Bluetooth speakers out there at the moment, some of them with a surprising amount of fidelity. But if what you want from your mobile speakers is flexibility and power (in more ways than one) the Braven Six series might just be for you. The three brand-new units offer the standard A2DP Bluetooth audio profile for iPhone, Android, Windows Phone and just about any other Bluetooth device, with the added ability to act as a speakerphone. In addition you can "daisy chain" the speakers together for more sound, and in a pinch, connect your smartphone to the built-in USB port to charge off of its integrated battery. Read The Full Story

, Apr 11th 2012 Discuss [3]

In a reveal that comes alongside the just-released Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6, here comes the Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 with no monthly data fees, Gingerbread, and connections galore to the other devices you've got on hand.

What you've got here is Samsung's baby running an experience relatively close to what we've seen on Galaxy S II devices for software, Galaxy S devices for hardware, and more Bluetooth functionality than you'll be able to handle.

Pizza ordering Bluetooth fridge magnet offers one click snackage

The problem with living in a big state like Texas is that everything is very spread out. That means not only are there no pizza delivery places for my house, but you can't even order online. While other places get to order via the Internet or text message, I have to call and talk to the pizza making stooges at the local spot. I certainly don't have access to something as awesome as a refrigerator magnet that uses Bluetooth to order your pizza with one press. Read The Full Story

Sony SmartWatch Review

, Mar 19th 2012 Discuss [5]

Sony‘s first attempt at a smart watch, the Sony Ericsson LiveView, promised plenty and delivered disappointment, and so the company has returned with the Sony SmartWatch.

Is the SmartWatch the gadget your wrist has been waiting for? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
