Devices like the Plantronics Discovery 975 and the Jawbone PRIME have gone some way in disguising their boom microphones and preserving sound quality, but there’s still no mistaking that you’re wearing a Bluetooth headset. Into the fray steps the Jabra Stone, distinctive both for its curvaceous styling and its promises of boomless natural-sounding audio. Is your next Bluetooth headset a Stone’s throw away? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

lbook t9 tablet pcLBook have been quietly selling ebook devices for a while now, but the company is hoping to make a splash into the multitouch tablet market next year with their T9.  The LBook T9 is an Intel Atom-based 8.9-inch slate running Windows 7, and is tipped to arrive in March 2010 with a price tag in the $350 to $375 region.  If they can pull that off, it’s an excellent price for a 12.7mm-thick sofa surfer.

Hands free Bluetooth speakerphones are more appealing to me than Bluetooth headsets. I don’t like to wear headsets and the speakerphone is more comfortable to use.

nectarretractableI am not a big fan of Bluetooth headsets outside of the car. I think people who wear their Bluetooth headset everywhere and talk while they are in the mall or at a restaurant, using them should be pummeled in the gonads. I can understand needing to keep your eyes on the road while driving though and Nectar has a line of accessories that are designed to keep your Bluetooth headset nearby.

While integrated 3G connectivity was tipped for inclusion in the PSP Go back in its rumor days, in the end Sony went for the simple route and just gave their handheld WiFi and Bluetooth.  Thanks to PSP update v6.10, that Bluetooth can be used to tether the Go to a cellphone, meaning connectivity isn’t just limited to wherever you can find a WiFi hotspot.
