What's not clear, unfortunately, is whether the projectors will actually be built into the cellphones (and if so, which ones), or simply offered as an attachment of some sort, but either way you can apparently expect to pay between $200 and $400 for the chance to spread a bit of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/27/mini-projectors-spark-worries-about-visual-pollution/">visual pollution</a>.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.unwiredview.com/2008/05/14/3m-mini-projectors-to-debut-with-samsung-phones-later-this-year/">Unwired View</a>]<br /> </div>

<div align="left">It looks like your future digital camera could have considerably more wireless options than <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=wifi+camera&amp;searchsubmit=">built-in WiFi</a> or an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/eye-fi">Eye-Fi</a> card, at least if Sony Ericsson has its way. As Unwired View reports, the company has filed a number patent applications that detail its plans to add various wireless connectivity options to digital cameras, including GSM, CDMA, and WiMAX, in addition to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. That would apparently come both in the form of wireless cards built into the cameras themselves, and in the form of wireless adapters or docks that would attach to the camera, with some dedicated flash memory also thrown in for storing settings for Flickr and the like. Of course, there's no indication as to when we can expect to see such cameras and, as Unwired View points out, the idea itself may not be the most patentable, but you can sign us up for any connectivity option that doesn't involve a tangled mess of cords in our gadget bag.<br /> </div>

Sure, there are already a handful of options out there for extending the life of your iPhone / iPod battery, but since when have we been ones to gripe about a little competition? Kensington has just introduced a standard and miniature version of its Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone / iPod, which unsurprisingly provides juice to your device's internal battery and can be recharged simultaneously. As you could likely guess, the only differences between the two contraptions are the size, price and battery life; the 0.22-pound standard model extends play time to up to 100 hours (music) / 6 hours (talk), while the even tinier mini version livens things up for another 30 hours (music) / 3 hours (talk). Each is available now for $69.99 / $49.99.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://us.kensington.com/html/15460.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/05/kensington-unveils-battery-pack-and-charger-for-iphone-ipod/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1187080/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/05/kensington-unveils-battery-pack-and-charger-for-iphone-ipod/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>battery</category><category>battery pack</category><category>BatteryPack</category><category>charger</category><category>iphone</category><category>ipod</category><category>ipod accessory</category><category>IpodAccessory</category><category>Kensington</category><category>Mini Battery Pack and Charger</category><category>MiniBatteryPackAndCharger</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darren Murph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 05 May 2008 17:03:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tessera's OptiML Zoom gets cameraphones 3x closer without moving parts]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/28/tesseras-optiml-zoom-gets-cameraphones-3x-closer-without-moving/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/28/tesseras-optiml-zoom-gets-cameraphones-3x-closer-without-moving/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/28/tesseras-optiml-zoom-gets-cameraphones-3x-closer-without-moving/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/multimedia/" rel="tag">Multimedia</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/others/" rel="tag">Others</a></p><a href="http://www.tessera.com/news/press_releases/?releaseId=1135460"><img vspace="16" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/04/4-28-08-tessera-zoom.jpg"  alt="" /></a>Oh sure, those with no shame whatsoever can snag a totally sketchy LV 2008 with an <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/14/chintzy-lv-2008-handset-boasts-attachable-zoom-lens/">attachable zoom lens</a>, but those of us with a shred of dignity are waiting on something better.

Said innovation brings a unique lens design and specialized algorithms to replace "traditional mechanical zoom capabilities," giving equipped cameraphones 3x optical zoom capabilities in a "compact camera module without moving parts." Hailed as the industry's first non-mechanical optical zoom solution, it promises to not degrade images the way digital zoom does, and while it's eager to see handset OEMs pick up the tech and integrate it into forthcoming mobiles, we've yet to hear of any big players jumping on board.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.phonescoop.com/news/item.php?n=2974">PhoneScoop</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.tessera.com/news/press_releases/?releaseId=1135460>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/28/tesseras-optiml-zoom-gets-cameraphones-3x-closer-without-moving/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1179935/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/28/tesseras-optiml-zoom-gets-cameraphones-3x-closer-without-moving/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>camera</category><category>cameraphone</category><category>cellphone camera</category><category>CellphoneCamera</category><category>optical zoom</category><category>OpticalZoom</category><category>OtiML</category><category>Tessera</category><category>zoom</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darren Murph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:47:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[$100 femtocells to be sold by AT&amp;T?]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/25/100-femtocells-to-be-sold-by-atandt/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/25/100-femtocells-to-be-sold-by-atandt/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/25/100-femtocells-to-be-sold-by-atandt/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/atandt/" rel="tag">ATT</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/gsm/" rel="tag">GSM</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.rcrnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080424/FREE/895619934/1014/rss01"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/04/4-24-08-ubicell.jpg"  alt="" /></a><br /></div>
Yep, we're mandating that this one be filed in the rumor folder for now, but according to a report from <em>ThinkPanmure</em>, AT&amp;T Mobility is planning to move up to 7 million <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/femtocell/">femtocells</a> acquired from UK-based ip.access. As the story goes, AT&amp;T inked a contract with the aforesaid firm for up to half a billion dollars in femtocells over five years, and it's supposedly aiming to sell each to end users for "as little as $100." As expected, spokespeople for AT&amp;T and ip.access weren't around / didn't care to comment on the matter, but a dame from the former did admit that it was "examining the potential benefits of femtocells through lab tests and planned to conduct a trial later this year." Of course, AT&amp;T wouldn't be the first US carrier to offer the boxes, but it's not like <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/09/17/sprint-airave-signal-booster-goes-on-sale-today-in-denver-and/">Sprint's $49.99 Airave</a> set any sales records or anything when it launched late last year.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.rcrnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080424/FREE/895619934/1014/rss01>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/25/100-femtocells-to-be-sold-by-atandt/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1177090/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/25/100-femtocells-to-be-sold-by-atandt/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>att</category><category>att Mobility</category><category>AttMobility</category><category>femtocell</category><category>picocell</category><category>rumor</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darren Murph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 25 Apr 2008 01:08:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[CSR shows off dual-mode ULP Bluetooth radio]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/14/csr-shows-off-dual-mode-ulp-bluetooth-radio/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/14/csr-shows-off-dual-mode-ulp-bluetooth-radio/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/14/csr-shows-off-dual-mode-ulp-bluetooth-radio/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.csr.com/pr/pr330.htm"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.engadget.com/media/2007/06/bluetooth_sig_wibree.jpg" /></a><br /></div>
We haven't heard much about <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Wibree/">Wibree</a> lately, but the next-gen Bluetooth standard looks to be humming along nicely, with a name change to ULP (Ultra Low Power Bluetooth) and now a dual-mode chip from CSR that supports Bluetooth 2.1 and ULP on the same silicon. The chip consumes 10 times less power than a standard Bluetooth unit while connecting, and 50 times less power during data transfer, as it's essentially a stripped down version of Bluetooth with way fewer frequencies to worry about. This dual-mode chips means we won't have to leave the superior bandwidth of Bluetooth 2.1 behind. The chip should be available in the market sometime in 2008.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/04/14/csr-show-working-dual-mode">The Inquirer</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.csr.com/pr/pr330.htm>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/14/csr-shows-off-dual-mode-ulp-bluetooth-radio/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1166383/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/14/csr-shows-off-dual-mode-ulp-bluetooth-radio/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>bluetooth</category><category>csr</category><category>ulp</category><category>ulp bluetooth</category><category>UlpBluetooth</category><category>wibree</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Paul Miller]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:50:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[LocaModa lets cellphones interact with jukeboxes]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/12/locamoda-lets-cellphones-interact-with-jukebox/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/12/locamoda-lets-cellphones-interact-with-jukebox/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/12/locamoda-lets-cellphones-interact-with-jukebox/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/culture/" rel="tag">Culture</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/misc/" rel="tag">Misc</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/080410/20080410005283.html?.v=1"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/04/4-12-08-locamoda-jukebox.jpg" /></a><br /></div>

The aforesaid company has teamed up with TouchTunes in order to give patrons the ability to interact with flat-panels on TouchTunes jukeboxes. On-screen applications will include information about the song currently playing, elusive "user generated content" and even "patron photos" from their social networking profiles (scary?). For those completely absorbed in this stuff, you can even keep tabs on the interactions via data feeds from your favorite network. Twitter fights over which song ushers the drinking crowd out in a bar 1,500 miles away?

This one's been available for a tick, but ivyskin's brilliant new iPhone case is just too marvelous to ignore. The Xylo Touch-Thru (T2) claims to be the first case to put a hard shell atop the iPhone's touch panel which can remain in place as you check your email, respond to a SMS or dial up the local <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/20/pizza-hut-rolls-out-sms-ordering-lg-w-xtra-chz-plz/">pizza joint</a>. By utilizing Surface Xylo Wave technology, ultrasonic waves are able to permeate through to the display without interference, allowing users to simultaneously keep their precious panel protected 'round the clock while not inhibiting their ability to touch and feel. Not a bad investment for $34.99, eh?<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://ivyskin.com/detail.php?proid=54>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/10/ivyskins-xylo-t2-case-engulfs-your-iphone-doesnt-inhibit-touc/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1163684/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/10/ivyskins-xylo-t2-case-engulfs-your-iphone-doesnt-inhibit-touc/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>case</category><category>iphone</category><category>iphone case</category><category>IphoneCase</category><category>ivyskin</category><category>mac</category><category>xylo t2</category><category>XyloT2</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darren Murph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 10 Apr 2008 15:46:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cool G108 watch phone is Maxwell Smart-approved]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/08/cool-g108-watch-phone-is-maxwell-smart-approved/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/08/cool-g108-watch-phone-is-maxwell-smart-approved/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/08/cool-g108-watch-phone-is-maxwell-smart-approved/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/handsets/" rel="tag">Handsets</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/others/" rel="tag">Others</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/gsm/" rel="tag">GSM</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.slashphone.com/cool-g108-watch-phone-08143"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/04/4-8-08-cool_g108.jpg"  alt="" /></a><br /></div>
For the half dozen or so folks actively seeking a run-of-the-mill watch phone to completely destroy any chance of landing new pals (let alone a SO) while out on the town, you've got a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/18/imobiles-flying-c1000-phone-pda-pmp-watch/">surprising</a> amount of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/seiko-cpc-tr-006-bluetooth-watch-puts-your-phone-on-your-wrist/">choices</a>. Still, you'd be hard-pressed to find one as gaudy, yet curiously sleek as the Cool G108. Boasting what appears to be an electroluminescent keypad (is that a rotary dial design we see?) and a convenient flip-up screen, this watch / cellphone mishmash also features quad-band GSM / GPRS support, a 1.5-inch (160 x 128) internal display, 1.3-megapixel camera, multimedia player, Bluetooth, 0.5MB (generous, we know) of built-in memory and a MMS expansion slot in case you need more than a single <em>Duran Duran</em> track on your wrist. You'll also find USB connectivity and a smallish external display, and while pricing remains a mystery, there's loads more pics waiting in the read link below.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.slashphone.com/cool-g108-watch-phone-08143>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/08/cool-g108-watch-phone-is-maxwell-smart-approved/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1161993/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/08/cool-g108-watch-phone-is-maxwell-smart-approved/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>china</category><category>chinese</category><category>Cool G108</category><category>CoolG108</category><category>timepiece</category><category>watch</category><category>watch phone</category><category>WatchPhone</category><category>wristwatch</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darren Murph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 08 Apr 2008 18:33:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Plantronics, Jabra intro Discovery 925, BT4010 Bluetooth headsets]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/04/plantronics-jabra-intro-discovery-925-bt4010-bluetooth-headset/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/04/plantronics-jabra-intro-discovery-925-bt4010-bluetooth-headset/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/04/plantronics-jabra-intro-discovery-925-bt4010-bluetooth-headset/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a></p><div align="center"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.engadget.com/media/2008/04/jabra-plantronics-925-bt401.jpg" />
<div align="left">Those in the market for a new Bluetooth headset now have a pair of new options to consider from two of the big handsfree players, with Plantronics and Jabra recently introducing their new Discovery 925 and BT4010 models. For its part, Plantronics looks to be after the more style-conscious user, with its 925 headset boasting the company's trademark VFrame design and your choice of Onyx Black, Alchemy Gold, and Cerise Pink colors. On the specs front, you can expect up to five hours of talk time, and AudioIQ noise reduction technology, along with a carrying case that also doubles as a charger. Look for it to set you back $150 when it hits stores next month. The Jabra, on the other hand, keeps things more conventional-looking, with a handy LCD display offering a bit of an upgrade over the usual blinkin' LEDs. Otherwise, you can expect a decent six hours of talk time, and so-called e-SCO technology, which promises to improve voice transfer from headset to phone. Jabra's promising to deliver this one sometime in the spring for $60.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&amp;STORY=/www/story/04-01-2008/0004783644&amp;EDATE=">Read</a> - Plantronics Discovery 925<br /><a href="http://www.foxbusiness.com/article/jabras-new-bt4010-bluetooth-headset-makes-life-easier-intuitive-smart-display_542153_1.html">Read</a> - Jabra BT 4010 [Via <a href="http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Jabra-BT4010-is-handsfree-with-display-article-a_2616.html">Phone Arena</a>]<br /></div>

<a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Griffin/">Griffin</a>'s antenna-stub sporting ClearBoost case for the iPhone just hit the streets, and opinions are already pouring in. The case involves the antenna, a bumper and a screen protector, and while the resulting combination is not much for loooks, iLounge found it to improve performance in certain situations. Apparently in very low coverage areas the ClearBoost isn't much help, but in wonky two or three bar situations ClearBoost added one or two bars. Sounds like a win to us, but you're going to have to have some serious need of signal to sacrifice iPhone aesthetics this totally.<br /> <br /> [Via <a href="http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/griffin-clearboost-for-iphone/">iLounge</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/clearboost>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/04/griffins-ugly-ass-clearboost-iphone-antenna-booster-hits-the-sc/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1158319/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/04/griffins-ugly-ass-clearboost-iphone-antenna-booster-hits-the-sc/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>antenna</category><category>case</category><category>clearboost</category><category>griffin</category><category>iphone</category><category>review</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Paul Miller]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 04 Apr 2008 01:05:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lamborghini offers Bluetooth headset that doesn't break the bank]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/31/lamborghini-offers-bluetooth-headset-that-doesnt-break-the-bank/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/31/lamborghini-offers-bluetooth-headset-that-doesnt-break-the-bank/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/31/lamborghini-offers-bluetooth-headset-that-doesnt-break-the-bank/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/others/" rel="tag">Others</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/accessories/" rel="tag">Accessories</a></p><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/25/bello-is-calling-you/"><img vspace="16" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/03/lamboheadset.jpg"  alt="" /></a>If you're not in the market -- or don't have the spare cake -- for your own Lamborghini, perhaps a <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/bluetooth">Bluetooth</a> headset featuring the bull logo might do?

Its host phone got signed off <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/20/lg-vx8610-swings-by-fcc-on-the-way-to-verizon/">a few weeks ago</a>, but it turns out that the Bluetooth headset that's stowed away inside Verizon's upcoming VX8610 needs its own, independent FCC scrutiny. Makes sense, we suppose, seeing how it's a full fledged RF device in its own right. It's an exciting concept, no question, but you have to wonder what kind of battery life is going to get sucked out of the mothership when the headset needs charging -- if the headset can actually charge without the phone being plugged into the wall. Guess we'll have to wait a bit longer to find out.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&amp;RequestTimeout=500&amp;calledFromFrame=N&amp;application_id=319976&amp;fcc_id='BEJVX8610-HS'>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/28/lg-vx8610s-internal-bluetooth-headset-gets-its-own-fcc-love/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1151726/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/28/lg-vx8610s-internal-bluetooth-headset-gets-its-own-fcc-love/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>bluetooth</category><category>fcc</category><category>headset</category><category>verizon</category><category>verizon wireless</category><category>VerizonWireless</category><category>vx8610</category><category>vzw</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris Ziegler]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:14:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jabra's BT3030 Bluetooth headset mimics dog tag]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/26/jabras-bt3030-bluetooth-headset-mimics-dog-tag/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/26/jabras-bt3030-bluetooth-headset-mimics-dog-tag/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/26/jabras-bt3030-bluetooth-headset-mimics-dog-tag/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/others/" rel="tag">Others</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://209.85.135.104/translate_c?hl=en&amp;u=http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/av/docs/20080326/jabra.htm"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/03/3-26-08-bt8030_jabra.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /> </div>
Falling somewhere before the <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/10/jabras-bt8010-bluetooth-headphones-go-mono-or-stereo/">BT8010</a> and <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/03/jabras-bt8040-bluetooth-headset-syncs-to-multiple-devices/">BT8040</a>, the BT3030 most definitely takes the crown for clever design. Jabra's latest Bluetooth headset, as you can glean from the image above, was crafted to mimic the traditional dog tag, and specifications wise, you'll find Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, HSP, HFP, A2DP and AVRCP support. Additionally, you'll find six buttons useful for sending / ending calls and controlling music playback, and yes, it will lower the volume when detecting an incoming call from your livid mother-in-law. Ditch that ear critter and pick up something slightly less appalling late next month in Japan (or right now in the US) for &yen;8,980 ($90).

Remember the <a href="http://japanese.engadget.com/2006/07/19/sound-leaf/">Sound Leaf</a>? Unless you live in Japan, there's a very good chance you don't, so let us refresh your memory: it's a rather interesting Bluetooth device that looks a bit like a miniature handset and functions as a bone-conduction receiver for taking calls in noisy environments. It's a cool idea -- Bluetooth headsets are very, very rarely as loud for the wearer or as noise-free for the person on the other end of the call as they should be -- but for whatever reason, the technology really hasn't taken off in full force. Again, that's unless you're in Japan -- because NTT DoCoMo's just released the Sound Leaf+, a new take on the original that looks almost exactly the same but trades an all-white color scheme for a more in-your-face black getup and apparently features improved reception. It'll go for about 15 hours on a pair of AAA batteries, and the mouthpiece folds conveniently away when not in use. We'll take a dozen, NTT; you can float 'em across the Pacific in a bottle, if you like.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.slashphone.com/106/9525.html">Slashphone</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nttdocomo.co.jp%2Fproduct%2Foption%2Fabout%2Fsoundleafplus%2Findex.html&amp;langpair=ja%7Cen&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/25/ntt-docomos-sound-leaf-ready-to-conduct-a-bone-near-you/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1148176/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/25/ntt-docomos-sound-leaf-ready-to-conduct-a-bone-near-you/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>bluetooth</category><category>bone</category><category>bone conduction</category><category>BoneConduction</category><category>japan</category><category>ntt docomo</category><category>NttDocomo</category><category>sound leaf</category><category>SoundLeaf</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris Ziegler]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 25 Mar 2008 15:28:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cricket Wireless offers unlimited data for $35 a month, look ma, no cap]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/23/cricket-wireless-offers-unlimited-data-for-35-a-month-look-ma/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/23/cricket-wireless-offers-unlimited-data-for-35-a-month-look-ma/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/23/cricket-wireless-offers-unlimited-data-for-35-a-month-look-ma/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/kyocera/" rel="tag">Kyocera</a></p><a href="www.butyoucould.com"><img vspace="16" hspace="4" border="0" align="right"  src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/03/cricketunlimdata.jpg" alt="" /></a>Here's a deal that's pretty tough to beat, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/cricket">Cricket</a> is offering unlimited EVDO Rev. 0 data for only $35 -- after discount -- a month.

The Kyocera KPC650 data card which will set you back $59 after various deals and rebates, willingness to shell out $35 beans for all you can chew data, and  a willingness to not sign a contract.

This handy idea, brought to you by the minds at University of California, Berkeley, brings up to a 60x <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/microscope/">microscope</a> to your cell for roughly $75. The 60x attachment is useful for diagnosing things like Malaria while in the field, while its weaker 5x sibling can be used to look at skin conditions. The prototype was apparently made from off the shelf components -- including some low power LEDs that illuminate the subject -- and snaps in place with a modified belt clip. This is a pretty handy piece of kit when you consider how much easier it may be to snap a pic of something and fire it off to a lab via a data connection instead of having to physically bring a sample. We're sure the poor soul featured in the pic we have here agrees, as it looks like he / she may have a tiny shrimp infestation.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/03/cell_phone_camera_turned.html?CMP=OTC-0D6B48984890">MAKE Blog</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.technologyreview.com/Infotech/20433/?a=f>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/22/cellphone-as-microscope-on-the-cheap-bugs-beware/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1146687/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/22/cellphone-as-microscope-on-the-cheap-bugs-beware/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>Berkeley</category><category>cell</category><category>diagnosis</category><category>microscope</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sean Cooper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 22 Mar 2008 23:58:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rogers slated to get Novatel X950D and MC950D data cards]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/20/rogers-slated-to-get-novatel-x950d-and-mc950d-data-cards/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/20/rogers-slated-to-get-novatel-x950d-and-mc950d-data-cards/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/20/rogers-slated-to-get-novatel-x950d-and-mc950d-data-cards/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/others/" rel="tag">Others</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/rogers-wireless/" rel="tag">Rogers Wireless</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/misc/" rel="tag">Misc</a></p><a href="http://investor.novatelwireless.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=300159"><img vspace="16" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/03/merlinx950drogersmall.jpg" id="img1" alt="" /></a>Rogers seems set to sponge as much cake as they can out of your overtaxed mobile pockets with the announcement of two new HSPA data devices, the <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/novatel">Novatel</a> X950D and <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/07/20/novatels-mc950d-worlds-smallest-usb-hsupa-modem/">MC950D</a>. We've seen the USB-friendly MC950D pop up before, but as a refresh: it rocks 7.2 Mbps triple-band HSPA, supports most popular OSes, quad-band GPRS / EDGE, and may well still be the world's smallest HSPA USB modem. The <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/10/fcc-fridays/">X950D</a>, however, will be making its worldwide debut on the friendly Canadian provider's network, and we're sure a goodly pile of Canadians will be whooping it up at this news. Sporting triple-band HSPA, Mac and Windows-friendly, quad-band GPRS / EDGE, Novatel's newest express port product also features backwards compatibility with a handy PCMCIA adapter. Pricing on both is apparently the same: $49.99 on a three-year contract. Of course, with data rates what they are, that $50 is definitely gonna get you in a whole heap of trouble if you don't mind your bits.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://investor.novatelwireless.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=300159>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/20/rogers-slated-to-get-novatel-x950d-and-mc950d-data-cards/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1143828/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/20/rogers-slated-to-get-novatel-x950d-and-mc950d-data-cards/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>EDGE</category><category>gprs</category><category>hsdpa</category><category>hsdpa modem</category><category>hsdpamodem</category><category>MC950D</category><category>Merlin</category><category>Novatel</category><category>Rogers</category><category>X950D</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sean Cooper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 20 Mar 2008 19:46:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[locoGPS, now in WiFi flavor]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/07/locogps-now-in-wifi-flavor/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/07/locogps-now-in-wifi-flavor/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/07/locogps-now-in-wifi-flavor/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/apple/" rel="tag">Apple</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gpsandco.com%2Farticles%2Fnewsitem.php%3Fid%3D5305&amp;langpair=fr%7Cen&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/03/locogps-wireless.jpg"  alt="" /></a><br /></div>
If the thought of a black box jutting out of the bottom of your iPhone is too much to bear, rest easy, because it looks like a dock module isn't going to be your only option. The same company that brought us the <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/17/locogps-hacks-into-the-iphone-barrio/">original locoGPS</a> is back at it again, this time with a wireless module that looks fit 'n trim enough to stow away neatly on a key ring. Wireless GPS modules are a dime a dozen these days, but what makes the so-called locoGPS Mobile Navigation Server so special is that it serves piping hot coordinates up via WiFI, not the usual Bluetooth, which is just fantastic considering that the iPhone's Bluetooth stack doesn't much like to talk to anything other than headsets. It even stores maps locally via an integrated microSD slot, which means you don't have to delete those Wiggles albums off the iPhone's storage after all. If all goes according to plan, we'll see the wireless locoGPS launch alongside its decidedly more wired sibling in June for &euro;120 (about $183), nav software included.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.navigadget.com/index.php/2008/03/05/gps-for-iphone-via-wifi/">NaviGadget</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gpsandco.com%2Farticles%2Fnewsitem.php%3Fid%3D5305&amp;langpair=fr%7Cen&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/07/locogps-now-in-wifi-flavor/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1134001/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/07/locogps-now-in-wifi-flavor/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>apple</category><category>gomite</category><category>gps</category><category>iphone</category><category>locogps</category><category>partfoundry</category><category>wifi</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris Ziegler]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 07 Mar 2008 11:50:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sierra Wireless intros Compass 597 EV-DO USB modem]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/05/sierra-wireless-intros-compass-597-ev-do-usb-modem/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/05/sierra-wireless-intros-compass-597-ev-do-usb-modem/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/05/sierra-wireless-intros-compass-597-ev-do-usb-modem/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/others/" rel="tag">Others</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/ev-do/" rel="tag">EV-DO</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/cdma/" rel="tag">CDMA</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/prnewswire/TO29304032008-1.htm"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/03/3-5-08-compass_597.jpg" /></a><br /> </div>
Truth be told, there's nothing extraordinary about Sierra Wireless' latest EV-DO USB modem. It plays nice with Rev. A networks, includes a microSD slot, and comes with TRU-Install to simplify the setup procedure. Granted, it is "the only product in its class to include a connector for an external antenna (saywha?)," and it is remarkably small, so it's still worth a look if you're currently doing without. As expected, you'll reach downlink speeds of up to 3.1Mbps and upload speeds of up to 1.8Mbps, and the built-in GPS antenna is a nice bonus, too. Unfortunately, we've no idea how costly this one will be, but be on the lookout for a Q2 launch.<br /> <br /> [Via <a href="http://www.mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=4279">MobileBurn</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/prnewswire/TO29304032008-1.htm>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/05/sierra-wireless-intros-compass-597-ev-do-usb-modem/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1132062/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/05/sierra-wireless-intros-compass-597-ev-do-usb-modem/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>3g</category><category>broadband</category><category>compass 597</category><category>Compass597</category><category>ev-do</category><category>ev-do rev a</category><category>Ev-doRevA</category><category>mobile broadband</category><category>MobileBroadband</category><category>sierra</category><category>Sierra Wireless</category><category>SierraWireless</category><category>usb modem</category><category>UsbModem</category><category>wwan</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darren Murph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 05 Mar 2008 10:45:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love To Talk Jawbone headsets make your other ear jealous]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/29/love-to-talk-jawbone-headsets-make-your-other-ear-jealous/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/29/love-to-talk-jawbone-headsets-make-your-other-ear-jealous/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/29/love-to-talk-jawbone-headsets-make-your-other-ear-jealous/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.joshspear.com/item/love-to-talk-jawbones-limited-edition-headsets/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/02/2-29-08-lovetotalk.jpg" /></a><br /></div>
Quite frankly, the traditional <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/Jawbone/">Jawbone</a> headset is pretty stylish as is. Nevertheless, Yves Behar has somehow managed to make it even sexier with the creation of the Love To Talk family. This trio, which will reportedly be made available "in a very limited quantity," consists of a gold Sweet Talk version, black Dirty Talk edition and white Trash Talk model.

Finally someone has combined the two things we love most -- Bluetooth headsets and microSD storage -- into one, sweet package. Enter the Bluetrek Bizz, a marriage of seemingly disparate products that actually kind of makes sense. On the headset side, you get up to seven hours of talk time, ten days on standby, and a customizable color panel. When you crack it open, you've got direct USB 2.0 connectivity, as well as a slot for a microSD card up to 8GB. You can charge the headset directly from any USB port, thus making your efforts to keep it at the ready a little bit easier. The headset weighs around 10 grams, and is slated in sell for around &pound;40 (or roughly $80). Check out the totally jazzed-up video after the break to see what it's all about.<br /><br /><br />[Via <a href="http://mobilitysite.com/2008/02/bluetreks-bizz-2-devices-in-1/">Mobility Site</a>]<p><a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/27/bluetreks-bizz-bluetooth-headset-improves-your-memory/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Bluetrek's Bizz Bluetooth headset improves your memory</em></a></p><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.bluetrek.com/products/bizz/bizz_video.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/27/bluetreks-bizz-bluetooth-headset-improves-your-memory/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1126209/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/27/bluetreks-bizz-bluetooth-headset-improves-your-memory/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>bizz</category><category>bluetooth</category><category>bluetrek</category><category>headset</category><category>microsd</category><category>usb 2.0</category><category>Usb2.0</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joshua Topolsky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 27 Feb 2008 14:24:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hydrogen fuel cell-powered MOTOSLVR L7 prototype gets pictured]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/16/hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered-motoslvr-l7-prototype-gets-pictured/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/16/hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered-motoslvr-l7-prototype-gets-pictured/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/16/hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered-motoslvr-l7-prototype-gets-pictured/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/handsets/" rel="tag">Handsets</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/motorola/" rel="tag">Motorola</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.news.com/8301-11128_3-9873173-54.html?tag=nefd.top"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/02/2-16-08-angstrom_l7.jpg" /></a><br /></div>

Unfortunately, we're no closer to realizing when this stuff will actually escape the proverbial beta stage, and for whatever it's worth, we're also no closer to feeling absolutely <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/28/korean-man-killed-by-exploding-cellphone/">safe</a> with one of these <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/07/05/chinese-welder-killed-by-exploding-cellphone-battery/">next</a> to our melon (though existing alternatives don't have the greatest <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/28/ghana-man-killed-by-exploding-handset/">track record</a> either).<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.news.com/8301-11128_3-9873173-54.html?tag=nefd.top>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/16/hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered-motoslvr-l7-prototype-gets-pictured/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1116803/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/16/hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered-motoslvr-l7-prototype-gets-pictured/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>alternative energy</category><category>AlternativeEnergy</category><category>fuel cell</category><category>FuelCell</category><category>green</category><category>hydrogen</category><category>l7</category><category>moto</category><category>motorola</category><category>motoslvr</category><category>prototype</category><category>slvr</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darren Murph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 16 Feb 2008 13:46:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[AKE's BlueCom 102 pocket repeater keeps bikers in sync]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/15/akes-bluecom-102-pocket-repeater-keeps-bikers-in-sync/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/15/akes-bluecom-102-pocket-repeater-keeps-bikers-in-sync/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/15/akes-bluecom-102-pocket-repeater-keeps-bikers-in-sync/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://ake-electronic.de/Service/Artikelinfo/BlueCom102+BlueComfor2-en.pdf"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/02/2-15-08-ake-bluecom-102.jpg"  alt="" /></a><br /></div>
There's really nothing worse than knowing some helpless soul is grappling on to you with absolutely no way to join you in an incoming call from that weird guy from CIS 430. Okay, so maybe that's a stretch, but AKE is looking to solve said quandary by offering up its BlueCom 102 pocket repeater. Essentially, this unit enables two motorcycle helmets to communicate with each other via Bluetooth, and of course, any BT-enabled handset can be mixed in, too. Sadly, a price for the setup has yet to be disclosed, but it does appear as if the repeater itself will be sold separately or bundled in with a pair of AKE Bluetooth helmets in the not-too-distant future.

Okay, so the totally nifty Pocket IR Modem actually works with a few devices other than the antiquated Palm III, but it's clear these two were made for each other. Put simply, this device connects with any Pocket PC / Palm OS unit via IrDA and enables it to hop on the intarwebs in blazing fashion, but truthfully, it was designed to allow folks in the field to upload data more so than check your favorite gadget blog. Reportedly, ENR Technologies is hoping to loose these for $80 apiece if purchased in bulk, but it'll take $149 to snag one for personal use. All of a sudden, EDGE doesn't seem so bad, now does it?<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.pocketirmodem.com/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/15/pocket-ir-modem-adds-56k-to-your-palm-iii/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1115932/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/15/pocket-ir-modem-adds-56k-to-your-palm-iii/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>56k</category><category>56k modem</category><category>56kModem</category><category>ENR Technologies</category><category>EnrTechnologies</category><category>internet</category><category>modem</category><category>pocket ir modem</category><category>PocketIrModem</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darren Murph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 08:58:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Zeemote JS1 brings analog gaming to your Bluetooth-enabled handset]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/zeemote-js1-brings-analog-gaming-to-your-bluetooth-enabled-hands/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/zeemote-js1-brings-analog-gaming-to-your-bluetooth-enabled-hands/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/zeemote-js1-brings-analog-gaming-to-your-bluetooth-enabled-hands/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/games/" rel="tag">Games</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/features/" rel="tag">Features</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/accessories/" rel="tag">Accessories</a></p><div align="center"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/02/zeemotejs1mwcmain.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div>
We had an opportunity to play with <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/02/zeetoos-zeemote-the-wiimote-for-your-cellphone/">Zeemote</a>'s -- this name is somehow familiar -- JS1 mobile joystick at MWC this week and while we first thought it a bit kitschy, it's actually a pretty amazing little device. Zeemote supplies an API to game developers and in short order -- apparently anyway -- the game can adapted to use the Bluetooth-enabled JS1as a controller. The device features an analog joystick and four user configurable triggers for control in a really comfortable controller that is small enough to pop into a pocket when not being used. The best bit is that it's not a gimmick, it works, and really well. We checked out the Heli game shown in the picture above and the JS1 really made the game fun to play. Games such as Tomb Raider, Hellstrike 3D, and Sonic have already been ported and we hope more to come, no word on pricing but we're not expecting this to be a pricey toy.

<div align="left">While we're guessing most of you likely won't be putting the military grade-ness of Plantronics' new Explorer 370 Bluetooth headset to the test, you'll likely still find it a little reassuring to know that it passes all the requisite specifications for water, dust and shock resistance, and boasts a new "windscreen technology" to ensure clear calls even in tough conditions. Apart from that, however, the headset appears to be a pretty standard deal, with it boasting seven hours of talk time and eight days standby on a charge, and the usual features like voice-activated dialing and last number redial. Look for this one to set you back $80 when it hits retailers in March, with the less rugged Explorer 360 also set to be available at the same time for $70.<br /> </div>

We're not going to say that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/femtocell/">femtocell</a> technology is "all the rage" right now, but we will admit that we're seeing some real players get into the game. If you've been wondering when these unicorn-like devices were going to start making their way into the real world, you can finally get some answers. With Mobile World Congress coming up soon, a number of new products and services centered around the signal-proliferating technology are being announced, including a handful of entries from Netgear and collaborators, as well as new products from Motorola. Check the press releases below and learn all about it. Remember, knowing is half the battle.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&amp;STORY=/www/story/02-07-2008/0004751452&amp;EDATE=">Read</a> - NETGEAR and Kineto Wireless To Showcase 3G Femto Home Access Solution at Mobile World Congress <br /><a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&amp;STORY=/www/story/02-07-2008/0004751433&amp;EDATE=">Read</a> - NETGEAR and Nokia Siemens Networks Collaborate on 3G Femto Home Access Solution<br /><a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&amp;STORY=/www/story/02-07-2008/0004751436&amp;EDATE=">Read</a> - NEC and NETGEAR Team to Develop an Integrated 3G Access Point for Femtocell Solution<br /><a href="http://www.motorola.com/mediacenter/news/detail.jsp?globalObjectId=9247_9176_23">Read</a> - Motorola Announces Family of Femtocell Solutions<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/07/netgear-and-motorola-get-busy-on-femotcell-tech/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1109244/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/07/netgear-and-motorola-get-busy-on-femotcell-tech/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>3g</category><category>access point</category><category>AccessPoint</category><category>femtocell</category><category>kineto</category><category>motorola</category><category>nec</category><category>netgear</category><category>nokia</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joshua Topolsky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 07 Feb 2008 11:33:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[smartWatchM hooks Sony Ericsson watches up with WinMo, adds features]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/02/smartwatchm-hooks-sony-ericsson-watches-up-with-winmo-adds-feat/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/02/smartwatchm-hooks-sony-ericsson-watches-up-with-winmo-adds-feat/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/02/smartwatchm-hooks-sony-ericsson-watches-up-with-winmo-adds-feat/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/software/" rel="tag">Software</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/sony-ericsson/" rel="tag">Sony Ericsson</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/windows-mobile/" rel="tag">Windows Mobile</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1848969"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/02/se-watch-wm.jpg"  alt="" /></a><br /></div>
Who says you need a Sony Ericsson phone for a <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/13/sony-ericssons-announcement-three-pack-of-new-watches/">Sony Ericsson watch</a> to function correctly? Well, Sony Ericsson does, but xda-developers is taking a slightly different tune. Member moneytoo over on the Windows Mobile hacking haven has fashioned "smartWatchM," an app that not only gets the Sony Ericsson Bluetooth wristwatch of your choice up and running on Windows Mobile 5 and 6 devices, but -- get this -- actually manages to make it <em>more</em> functional than it is on Sony Ericsson's own phones. Besides the usual caller ID, SMS, MMS, and out of range notifications, smartWatchM adds weather, your task list, operator, profile, and phone battery / signal strength, among other things. Now before you get all worked into a lather about this, Sony Ericsson, bear in mind that this app is only going to sell more of your fricking watches, okay?<br /><br />[Thanks, maflow]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1848969>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/02/smartwatchm-hooks-sony-ericsson-watches-up-with-winmo-adds-feat/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1104999/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/02/smartwatchm-hooks-sony-ericsson-watches-up-with-winmo-adds-feat/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>bluetooth</category><category>ericsson</category><category>smartwatchm</category><category>sony</category><category>sony ericsson</category><category>SonyEricsson</category><category>watch</category><category>windows mobile</category><category>WindowsMobile</category><category>xda-developers</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris Ziegler]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 02 Feb 2008 21:28:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[MWg and Splashpower team up for wireless charging of smartphones]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/30/mwg-and-splashpower-team-up-for-wireless-charging-of-smartphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/30/mwg-and-splashpower-team-up-for-wireless-charging-of-smartphones/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/30/mwg-and-splashpower-team-up-for-wireless-charging-of-smartphones/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/handsets/" rel="tag">Handsets</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a></p><a href="http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/index.jsp?epi_menuItemID=887566059a3aedb6efaaa9e27a808a0c&amp;ndmViewId=news_view&amp;ndmConfigId=1009036&amp;newsId=20080129005137&amp;newsLang=en"><img vspace="16" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/01/mwgsplashpower.jpg"  alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/02/o2-asia-is-dead-long-live-mwg/">Mobile &amp; Wireless Group</a> (MWg) and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/20/splashpower-ready-to-solve-the-charging-issue/">Splashpower</a> have joined hands in an effort to bring wireless charging to the mobile masses.

Besides supporting both EV-DO and HSDPA standards, it also aims to provide "a fast and easy Ethernet-to-3G wireless connection" and even includes a built-in VPN. Sadly, no price is mentioned, but we're sure the folks at Digi wouldn't mind coughing up that information if you called up with the right tone of voice.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/index.jsp?epi_menuItemID=887566059a3aedb6efaaa9e27a808a0c&amp;ndmViewId=news_view&amp;ndmConfigId=1000017&amp;newsId=20080130005121&amp;newsLang=en>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/30/digi-connect-wan-3g-yet-another-portable-hsdpa-ev-do-router/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1101782/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/30/digi-connect-wan-3g-yet-another-portable-hsdpa-ev-do-router/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>3g</category><category>broadband</category><category>cellular router</category><category>CellularRouter</category><category>Digi</category><category>digi connect</category><category>digi connect wan 3g</category><category>DigiConnect</category><category>DigiConnectWan3g</category><category>ev-do</category><category>mobile broadband</category><category>mobile router</category><category>MobileBroadband</category><category>MobileRouter</category><category>router</category><category>wwan</category><category>wwan router</category><category>WwanRouter</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darren Murph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:29:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[HTC, Parrot come clean with their love for one another]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/27/htc-parrot-come-clean-with-their-love-for-one-another/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/27/htc-parrot-come-clean-with-their-love-for-one-another/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/27/htc-parrot-come-clean-with-their-love-for-one-another/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/htc/" rel="tag">HTC</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/others/" rel="tag">Others</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/accessories/" rel="tag">Accessories</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.europe.htc.com/z/pdf/press/HTCParrotPartnership_080122a.pdf"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/01/htc-loves-parrot.jpg"  alt="" /></a><br /></div>
We though the whole idea behind Bluetooth was to create a universally compatible, short-range wireless protocol, but apparently that's not enough of a guarantee for <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/htc">HTC</a>. The ruling patron saint of Windows Mobile devices has teamed up with <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/Parrot/">Parrot</a>, a rather large European manufacturer of Bluetooth accessories, to "align product roadmaps" in an effort to make their products more harmonious in each others' presence. All told, the announcement is rather vague, with the most telling line saying that the partnership will bring "expanded capabilities" to users' devices, whatever that means. HTC doesn't have much of a retail presence in the Bluetooth peripheral market, so could this be a prelude to an acquisition?

Sure, we've seen <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/03/20/babylon-ng-cellphone-encryption-launched/">cellphone encryption</a> contraptions before, but KoolSpan's aiming to make things extra easy for green CIA agents. Set to be released next month, the microSD TrustChip slips right into a-many of smartphones and enables callers to hit up other undercover gurus and chat with 256-bit AES encryption, providing that the receiver of the call has a TrustChip jammed in his / her phone as well. Furthermore, the device itself touts enough features to make Maxwell Smart all sorts of envious: on-chip crypto processing, key management and a tamper-resistant environment for starters. Word on the street pegs this bad boy at $300, but we all know the cost of getting a call sniffed could be much more costly than that.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.getflashmemory.info/encrypted-cell-phones-tell-no-tales/">GetFlashMemory</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.searchvoip.com.au/topics/article.asp?DocID=1293998>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/26/koolspans-microsd-trustchip-keeps-c-out-of-your-a-b-conversat/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1097524/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/26/koolspans-microsd-trustchip-keeps-c-out-of-your-a-b-conversat/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>cellphone encryption</category><category>CellphoneEncryption</category><category>encryption</category><category>KoolSpan</category><category>security</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darren Murph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 26 Jan 2008 21:03:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[iBox2Go trumpets portable Sprint EV-DO router]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/22/ibox2go-trumpets-portable-sprint-ev-do-router/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/22/ibox2go-trumpets-portable-sprint-ev-do-router/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/22/ibox2go-trumpets-portable-sprint-ev-do-router/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/sprint/" rel="tag">Sprint</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/ev-do/" rel="tag">EV-DO</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/cdma/" rel="tag">CDMA</a></p><a href="http://prweb.com/releases/2008/1/prweb643651.htm"><img vspace="16" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.engadget.com/media/2008/01/1-22-08-ib100.jpg" /></a>It's not like we haven't seen <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/02/13/options-globesurfer-3g-hsdpa-router/">truckloads</a> of <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/05/sprint-announces-ev-do-router-and-usb-dongle/">portable</a> WiFi routers <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/03/14/topex-drops-worlds-first-hsdpa-wireless-router/">before</a>, but iBox2Go seems pretty jazzed up about its iteration.

Unlike Brickhouse Security, we won't go so far as to call this thing "invisible," but when placed in the ear, all but the most eagle-eyed among us are likely to overlook it. The elaborately named Secret Service Invisible 2-Way Micro Headset comes with an easily hidden wireless transmitter that plugs into any mobile with a 2.5-millimeter audio output. Once rigged up, the wearer can have someone listen in on conversation in a room while also receiving input from said listener. Unfortunately, this likely Jack Bauer-approved gizmo demands a practically ludicrous $649.95, so it looks like we'll be sticking to brute force and walkie talkies here. Check out a demo video after the jump -- but be sure and kill the speakers first, alright?<br /><br />[Thanks, Tony M.]<p><a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/21/brickhouse-securitys-two-way-micro-headset-may-never-leave-your/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Brickhouse Security's two-way micro headset may never leave your ear canal</em></a></p><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/invisible-headset.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/21/brickhouse-securitys-two-way-micro-headset-may-never-leave-your/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1092348/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/21/brickhouse-securitys-two-way-micro-headset-may-never-leave-your/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>]]></description><category>brickhouse</category><category>brickhouse security</category><category>BrickhouseSecurity</category><category>headset</category><category>invisible</category><category>micro headset</category><category>MicroHeadset</category><category>secret service</category><category>SecretService</category><category>small</category><category>tiny</category><category>wireless headset</category><category>WirelessHeadset</category><category>world record</category><category>WorldRecord</category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darren Murph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jan 2008 22:12:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jabra launches luxury JX20 Pura Titanium Edition]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/11/jabra-launches-luxury-jx20-pura-titanium-edition/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/11/jabra-launches-luxury-jx20-pura-titanium-edition/</guid><comments>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/11/jabra-launches-luxury-jx20-pura-titanium-edition/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/accessories/" rel="tag">Accessories</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.jabra.com/sites/Jabra/NA-US/News/Pages/JABRA%C2%AEINTRODUCESBLUETOOTHHEADSETSTHATHIGHLIGHTDESIGN,MUSICANDPRODUCTIVITY.aspx"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1"  src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/01/jabrajx20ces.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />
<div align="left">Jabra launched this sleek thing at CES this week, with a body crafted from Titanium and glossy black accents, it is definitely looking the business. This new offering was designed by Jacob Jensen, the same fella who created <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/07/11/jabras-cara-gold-jx10-bluetooth-headset/">Jabra's JX10</a> headset -- though this venture has way less gold. The device's specs are posted as having up to 6-hour talk time, Bluetooth 2.0, auto pairing, USB charging -- this is a must in our opinion -- a couple ear hooks , and a goodly assortment of ear gels. Though, with an MSRP of $179, we're thinking this will find its way onto a limited collection of ears.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://phonearena.com/htmls/Jabra-JX20-Pura-is-coming-soon-article-a_2313-p_1.html">PhoneArena</a>]<br /></div>

<a href="http://engadget.com/tag/jawbone">Jawbone</a>'s giving away free headsets to anyone willing to trade in their old one here at CES -- which means they've accumulated an impressive collection of busted old headgear from nerds around the world.

Bluetooth car kits are usually pretty fuglicious, but Bluetrek is showing off a couple sunvisor-mounted NXT speaker-based units here at CES that are actually pretty nice. The SurfaceSound DUO (pictured) has a mini-USB port for docking in compatible BlueTrek headsets, and it'll charge 'em up while piping the audio through the speaker -- and if you aren't in a sharing mood, you can pull the headset out and carry on a conversation without interruption. We sort of prefer the SurfaceSound Compact, which is a straight Bluetooth speaker+mic kit, since it's a lot smaller, and doesn't lock you into one brand of headset.

<div align="left">As <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/07/motorola-sets-ears-on-fire-with-s9-hd-bluetooth-stereo-headset/">mentioned</a> a couple days ago, Motorola pushed out a pretty minor revision to its <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/02/12/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoactv-s9/">S9 stereo Bluetooth</a> wraparound headset. We bumped into one while wandering the booth and snapped a few pics of it before it wandered away. First impressions -- without actually using it, cause, that's kinda gross -- are that physically, it looks just about identical to the previous effort with the small exception of the minor visible changes to the buds.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/hands-on-with-motorolas-s9-hd-stereo-bluetooth-headset/">Hands-on with Motorola's S9-HD stereo Bluetooth headset</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/hands-on-with-motorolas-s9-hd-stereo-bluetooth-headset/570821/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/01/motos9hdhands_00_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/hands-on-with-motorolas-s9-hd-stereo-bluetooth-headset/570822/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/01/motos9hdhands_01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/hands-on-with-motorolas-s9-hd-stereo-bluetooth-headset/570823/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/01/motos9hdhands_02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/hands-on-with-motorolas-s9-hd-stereo-bluetooth-headset/570824/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/01/motos9hdhands_03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/hands-on-with-motorolas-s9-hd-stereo-bluetooth-headset/570825/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/01/motos9hdhands_04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div></div>
