This is described as the “ultimate hands-free device. What it is is a tiny microphone designed to be embedded in the teeth. It’s called the Bluetooth Dentacom. But take note of the distributor’s advice: “All dental work should be performed by a qualified dentist. Chinavasion does not take responsibility for injury resulting from the installation of this product.”

I would be lost without my Bluetooth headset, but I am sure I really look geeky walking around with that thing hanging in one ear. Jabra has a different type of Bluetooth ear piece that looks like a dog tag. The BT3030 hangs around your neck, or can be clipped onto a bag or jacket for easy access.
“It connects to two Bluetooth devices, so you can pair it with a phone and a laptop at the same time, and listen to music without worring about missing any calls. The tag has a microphone that picks up your voice, and features several control buttons to answer calls, play, pause, rewind or fast forward the music. I guess what I liked the most about this device is you can use your own headphones with it. The whole setup comes with a removable chain, clip, headphones, and power supply.”

The Mooon+ Phone is a cellphone combined with a bluetooth headset. It has a large touchscreen, metal accents, a back clip for the belt, and a digital camera. “Sunman Kwon – the designer of this masterpiece – has hit the point when decided to make the mouth piece detachable and turn it into a bluetooth headset. I also like the fact that the wireless Bluetooth headset is charging itself while it is not in use. Of course, it might not be the best idea, because it charges at mobile phone’s cost, which means it takes energy from your phone, but at some instance it might not be as important as it seams. It’s just a matter of choice!”

Could you ever imagine going back to dial-up? Well, in case you don’t know, there are still millions of people that can’t get broadband because of the places they live. I am one of those, I hate to admit. For years, I enjoyed broadband speeds, and then, my wife and I moved to a remote area of Texas, where we were lucky to get even cell phone coverage.
A lot of companies are exploring options for bringing wireless connectivity to rural areas, and Intel is one of them.
“According to Technology Review, the company’s so-called “rural connectivity platform” (or RCP) is able to beam WiFi signals from one antenna to another located more than 60 miles away, and at data rates up to 6.5 megabits per second, no less. To do that, Intel whipped up some software that effectively rewrites the way the two radios communicate with one another, in particular by eliminating the extra data sent confirming transmissions. Of course, those high-powered antennas also come into play considerably, but Intel says the entire system is both inexpensive (it’s aiming for below $500 when it starts selling it in India later this year) and low-power, with two or three radios in a link requiring just five or six watts”
This is Panasonic’s KX-WP800 Skype Phone. Right now, it is only available in Japan, but hopefully it will be worldwide soon. The KX-WP800 includes built in support for the FON wifi sharing network. That means that if you subscribe to the FON network, you can take the handset with you and it will automatically log onto any FON hotspots you come across, allowing you to make wi-fi calls. Cost is about $300.
When you are having problems with your WiFi network, you need a device to check it out. There could be interference coming from almost anywhere, including microwaves and cordless phones. One way to get more information about your Wi-Fi connection problems is with the use of the Wi-Fi Spy Spectrum Spy Signal Analyzer. It connects to your laptop or desktop computer via USB, and uses its software based analyzer to help you pinpoint the problem.
“The original Wi-Spy software was good, but the new and improved Chanalyzer 2.0 software features a completely redesigned interface that presents a more clear and concise view of your wireless landscape. Combined with the Wi-Spy spectrum analyzer, Chanalyzer will help you visualize, troubleshoot, and optimize your wireless network.”
If you have an office phone, here is a device that might make things a little easier for you. The Xlink Cellular Gateway gives you the ability to use your cellular phone as your home phone, and vise versa. What it does is take your existing office phone (or home phone) and integrate it with up to three Bluetooth Mobile Phones. Cost is about $170.
This is suppose to be the world’s smallest USB Dongle. It reminds me of the old Saturday Night Skit with the cellphones that were about the size of a paper clip. As electronics get smaller and smaller, I loose more and more of them. You could leave this in your shirt pocket, and waterlog it in the washer in no time. And the warranty probably wouldn’t cover it. The Tiny USB Bluetooth Dongle is Bluetooth 2.0 compliant, Plug and Play Compatable, has an LED indicator when plugged in and supports Bluetooth voice (A2DP) and Data. Cost is $14.99
In a past post, we reported on a GPS system that was embedded in the rear view mirror. Now here is the Bluetooth-enabled rear view mirror. It displays incoming calls on the mirror itself, and has a removable wireless headset that lets you use speaker phone connections, or in-ear use. The way it works is that the calls are automatically routed to the in ear headset when it is removed from the mirror, and return to the speaker phone when the headset is placed back into its cradle. It works with any Bluetooth compatable headset. And another cool thing about it is that it clips right over your existing mirror, so there is no really big installation issues. Powered by a rechargeable battery, it has three hours of talk time, and a week of standby. And it also has a chip built in to record voice memos. Cost is about $139.
