Designer Sunman Kwon has put together quite a gem with this latest project. The Mooon+ Phone is a handset concept that combines style and functionality with a gigantic touchscreen to create a work of art. The sleek black case adds metal accents and what looks to be a stitched leather swatch to create a clean […]

There is such a thing, we believe, as technology for technology’s sake. In other words, the practice of utilizing exciting new technological advancements in such a way that renders them infinitely less attractive; ridiculous even. Take the Roadrunner bluetooth headset pictured above. No, that’s not a high-tech communicator for tracheotomy patients. Body conduction technology nothing […]

Bluetrek hit CES 2008 with a couple of interesting bluetooth devices, but the SurfaceSound DUO is particularly cool. Slim and relatively compact, the DUO clips to your car’s visor and can be paired with any bluetooth phone. It utilizes an integrated mic and snazzy flat speaker to give you hands-free calling and sports a respectable […]

While cruising through the Samsung booth earlier today we stopped by their DAP and music station to score a bit of time with the YA-BS900 Stereo Bluetooth speakers. These things sound great, and interact with Bluetooth devices in a unique way. They feature embedded Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP profile support, 10 meter range, 30W output, […]

‘Tis the season for spectrum auctions and OS updates. Following in the footsteps of Verizon and LG, HTC has just released a small patch designed to fix some Bluetooth issues. It’s not a massive update by any stretch of the imagination, but for anyone that has been experiencing dropped calls while using their Bluetooth connection, […]

As suppliers of news to the Royal Court of the Doggfather, we thought there should be something which had both street cred and tech cred. We’re in luck, because Jabra made us look no further than the BT3030. The BT3030 is no ordinary stereo Bluetooth headset, and it doesn’t bother to look like it. It […]

We’ve all been there, when we were kids. Seeing those people touch their left ear, and secretly saying something into a headset was so cool. Then when we grew up, and had the money to buy a headset for our phones, it just didn’t feel the same.
Maybe there is a chance to regain some of […]

It’s pretty tough to shop for accessories for your computer or cell phone and not come across Belkin’s name. With one shot, they’ve come up with a new accessory that helps you with both. It’s basically a Bluetooth dongle, but, when it’s combined with some swanky new software from photo-guru Kodak, it will effortlessly pull […]

Here we have the WiBrain B1. It’s a new UMPC that features a 1.2GHz intel processor, 1GB of RAM, a 60GB HD, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Why does that really matter? Well, remember how UMPCs were supposed to "affordable"? This one is priced at $849, which we can’t argue with! It uses the split QWERTY […]

We heard the news, and we checked it out, too. In our earlier findings, we were a little disappointed with the headset’s "noise-cancellation" functionalities, but after we spoke to a head engineer from Moto, we decided to give it another go. What we were told actually makes sense — the noise-cancellation works best in "real-life" […]

We’re all for the idea of wireless technology, but don’t think we’re in the minority when we say that quality audio is more important than ridiculous distance. Why someone would need a bluetooth headset to work a football field away escapes us. But, that’s what the new Callpod Dragon headset claims. It does pack a […]

Motorola went and announced their H12 Bluetooth headset just now, and it’s the first headset to feature CystalTalk, previously found only in some of their handsets. It supposedly was designed with "TrueComfort" which should alleviate those awkward irritating moments when wearing a Bluetooth headset for longer than 5 minutes. They didn’t just stop there, though. […]

Just when the U.S. goes and punishes its spammers, those wacky Brits go an give it the OK. Bluespam, for those unfamiliar with it, is the ridiculously annoying process of sending spam and advertising messages via Bluetooth. Technically, they didn’t specify that it was OK, but rather, they removed Bluetooth as a medium that requires […]
