nectarretractable I 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.

Jabra Stone Bluetooth headset revealed 26 days early

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Sep 24th 2009 1 Comment

The great thing about teaser campaigns is that they give plenty of time for leaks to take place, and that’s just what we’ve seen with Jabra’s new Bluetooth headset, the Jabra Stone. While the preview site says you won’t get any more than a slinky silhouette for another 26 days, Gizmodo’s tipsters would rather you saw the curiously-coiled headset ahead of time.

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Sep 22nd 2009 3 Comments

MSI have announced the release of their latest long-running netbook, the Wind U110 Eco. They’re a little behind – after all, Amazon started selling the netbook last week, and at $30 less than MSI’s $429.99 MRSP – but we’ll let it slide since the U110 Eco manages to squeeze up to 15 hours of runtime from its 9-cell battery.

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Sep 22nd 2009 No Comments

Oh, how we laughed at Kopin’s Golden-i wearable computer when the company showed us renders earlier in the year; even though they promised it was heading to production, we were still dubious. The joke is on us, it seems, as Kopin have announced that the Golden-i Gen 2 will be entering field trials in December this year, with production kicking off in earnest next year. Units are expected to have a Bluetooth headset, 15-inch virtual PC display, head-gesture recognition and voice-control.

By Vincent Nguyen on Friday, Sep 18th 2009 1 Comment

Bluetooth headsets might be associated with spreading legislation demanding hands-free use of cellphones, but the short-range wireless technology also has a more entertaining use: A2DP wireless stereo. SlashGear has been testing out Jabra’s HALO headset, a set of folding stereo headphones that promise not only hands-off voice calls but wire-free music too. Check out our full review after the cut.
