I really liked the design of this headset from Gennum, it is small, the shape is appealing and the colors are really nice. I tried one on but we will have to wait for a review unit to know how efficient is the noise reduction, cool feature. We’ll keep you posted. More at Nxzen.com

Well looky
here, the extremely compact Motorola H5 Miniblue might finally eliminate the dork factor from those Bluetooth headsets
– ok, probably not. At only 33 x 41 milimeters and an incredibly light 7.4-grams it trounces the 10-gram Nextlink Bluespoon AX2 but
still comes up short of knocking off the 5G as the "world’s smallest." The Miniblue is equipped with an
inner-ear speaker and mic which "picks up your voice through your ear canal." It ships with a recharging base
which also doubles as protective shell when not in use. Talk time is a rather anemic 1.5 hours or confusingly, "up
to 7.5 hours using the included portable charging base"…what the!? Expect these to drop sometime in the first
half of 2006.
AuraOne’s CES 2006 Honoree award winner AuraGrid, is a wireless extension system which will extend any WiFi signal.
If you’re like any normal person, you hate your laptop touchpad, you know wireless mice are a drag and a normal mouse is just too bulky. Newton peripherals’ Mogo Mouse comes to the rescue! The tiny thing resembles a network card and fits into the laptop’s card slot for easy storage and quick charging (less than an hour). Bluetooth enabled, it fits nicely into the palm of your hand. If your laptop does not support Bluetooth, a Bluetooth USB dongle will solve your problem. Priced at $69.95. Mogo Mouse via craigjamieson
Are you a Mac mini/iBook owner looking for keyboard with a nice Apple white color? Well, Logitech has something for you! They recently announced the Cordless Desktop S530 for the Mac, and it’s looking good.

Nice.
Ah…what a great time to be in Las Vegas - if you live in BOSTON! CES is coming. Stay tuned for all the buzz when everyone that is someone and even those that aren’t anyone release something that fits into the “gotta havit gadget” category.

/>We didn’t get a chance to check it out for ourselves, but Samsung’s got a new slightly more multimedia
mid-range centric device that goes by the name of the a930, and will feature video and music on demand, Bluetooth,
MicroSD, a 1.3 megapixel camera, and dedicated playback buttons. Expect this in the near future (think: Q1 2006).

Motorola and Oakley went back to the drawing board for the successor to the RAZRWIRE’s "Bluetooth headset glued to a pair of
shades" throne. Turns out they forgot to do much drawing, and their resulting O ROKR product looks (and feels)
just as weak this time around, though thankfully they’re adding A2DP for piping stereo tunes from your spankin’ new ROKR E2. Oakley
also claims they’re totally upping the ante as well with High Definition Optics or some such marketing speak, but
unless they’re bringing us a few sets of 720 or 1080 pixels when these launch in the first half of the year, we’re
going to withhold the term HD from some mere UV blocking shades.

IPEVO is showing off some new Skype compatible products: the FLY.1 wireless handset and
the Xing speakerphone. The Xing USB speakerphone does about as much as its title implies, and has four speakers for
reaching the deep recesses of your conference room. The FLY.1 does the wireless thing with a USB base station and packs
in a small screen for your numeric viewing pleasure. It feels good in the hand, but doesn’t really pack in many
surprises. Read on for a pic of the Xing and a some live shot of the FLY.1 next to IPEVO’s slightly more inspired, if
tethered, FREE.1.
