    Innpu solves a problem you never had, introduces the ‘wired phone’ with built-in hands-free

    Posted on June 22, 2010 | No Comments
    Ok, so I'm not one of those guys that goes around holding their phone in one hand, and a hands-free microphone (irony duly noted) in the other in an effort to lose friends. In fact, I'm not even one of those guys that unwraps their included hands-free kit when they get a new phone. I just don't use handsfree kits. If you call me when I'm driving, I let it ring out. So I may not be in the best position to talk about Innpu's new phone. You know, the one that has a permanently attached hands-free kit.

  • Jabra STONE Bluetooth headset review

    Jabra STONE Bluetooth headset review

    Posted on October 23, 2009 | No Comments

    Filed under: ,

    Finally, the teaser's over. The latest delivery to Engadget's UK penthouse is the Jabra STONE Bluetooth headset due out in the US on 8th November, and we took no time to extract the pebble from the transparent cylinder. In front of us are the two parts of the STONE: an earpiece of a breakthrough form factor that instantly makes you pity its rivals, and behind it is the accompanying portable charging base which serves as an external battery. The latter is equipped with a micro-USB port and an LED indicator -- simply green or red -- to show whether there's enough battery juice for one full charge. It's a pretty neat idea as this is the only feasible way to fit eight hours of talk time (or twelve days of standby time) into such tiny package: two on the earpiece and an extra six from the surprisingly light battery base -- our scale reckons it is just under one ounce. We also dig the auto-off function when you dock the earpiece and vice versa. Docking and undocking are pretty straight forward too: just snap in for the former, and poke your thumb through the bottom hole of the base to push the earpiece out. The generic click button hidden under the Jabra badge is easy to access and responds well. Above that is the invisible vertical touch strip for volume control and similarly it responded nicely to our strokes. What's left on the earpiece are the two LED indicators on the underside for Bluetooth connectivity and battery. So far so good, but what really matters is the ear-on experience and the audio quality -- listen for yourself after the break.

    It’s not every day I get excited about a Bluetooth headset but the Jabra Stone is an exception. The headset, in short, looks like a smooth stone. The earpiece fits into a small, portable charging unit and almost disappears in your pocket. The electronics inside are amazingly small and include dual microphones to reduce wind [...]

    Ah, the Bluetooth headset. Often times, it’s the bane of any cell phone owner’s hands-free existence. You’re too cautious to stick it in your pocket because it’ll get caught up in your keys and covered in lint, so you forget to bring it with you. Or if you have it with you, it’s never charged [...]

    Is this the new iPhone? It has the matt-finish back that has been rumored, along with the non-shiny metal bezel. It also has what looks like an extra button on the lower right side of the case, and an extra slot in the fascia at the top near the earpiece, along with a green LED. Speculation says [...]
