This is what I’m talking about. This Bluetooth headset looks very impressive and comes with a LCD display. The headset will display the entire number for the caller or the callee, so to speak. It also lets you know of the connection status with the phone. Unfortunately, I don’t get the point of this innovation. Why would I like to know the number unless I’m a seriously busy executive who likes to ignore half of his calls and only picks up the phone when he sees a familiar number? Besides, isn’t that what contact lists and address books are for? Not to mention, how would I read the number if I have the headset intact? There are so many questions and so few answers. The Helium Digital HD-880 is expected to hit retail shelves starting next month for a hefty price of $80.00. Ouch! Read - Subscribe to CoolTechZone.com's Techblog RSS Feed

Well, this is interesting. Nokia has apparently learned its lesson from LG/Verizon (LG and Verizon VX8500 Chocolate) and Motorola RAZR and their popularity based on the name, instead of mundane product names. Thanks for waking up to the reality, guys. Seriously, it took other concepts in order to convince Nokia that we, as consumers, might be looking for attractive product names instead of numbers that are pretty darn difficult to remember? Wow, companies never cease to surprise me. "What you will see coming from us in the future is not just a numbering system, you are going to start to see names that carry a meaning and are important to consumers," said Keith Pardy, Executive, Nokia. Thank you, Nokia. Now, you better not come up with lame names like the RAZR, KRZR, RIZR and all these zrr… sounding names. Read - Subscribe to CoolTechZone.com's Techblog RSS Feed

It’s nice to see some innovation happening on a small scale. For the Xbox 360 fans out there, you can make your gaming console look cooler than its old, dull self. It’s essentially a LED case that transmits seven colors in rotation, if I’m not mistaken. You can block the colors that you don’t like with a control switch, which I suppose is a nice touch. If you want to make your Xbox 360 look cool, maybe this is something you might be interested in. From the sound of it, it looks like the system is available immediately. Pricing is unknown.

Creative Zen Neeon 2 Reviewed -
Tuesday, 12 September 2006

|
CNET Asia has reviewed Creative’s Zen Neeon 2 music player with 4GB of capacity and came away with a “very good” rating of 7.4 Based on the review: The good: Sleek new design; good battery life; decent overall audio quality. The bad: Reliance on a single video format; old scroll wheel design; letterboxing on all videos. The bottom line: The Zen Neeon 2 is a quality update on its predecessor, but it still has some way to go before challenging the iPod nano. So, in other words, it’s no iPod Nano killer. There goes another fighter that expected to dethrone the iPod family. This is what happens when you mess with royalty: you die a pitiful death. The worst thing is the Neeon 2 doesn’t even sound good, according to CNET Asia. How can you make a player in today’s time and not focus on audio quality? Isn’t that a prerequisite to producing music players these days? Maybe Creative didn’t get that memo… Read - Subscribe to CoolTechZone.com's Techblog RSS Feed

Optimus Mini Three is starting to get some traction in the market with reviews coming out gradually. For those of you not familiar with Optimus or its revolutionary Mini Three, click here to get all the information. According to the review, the hardware and concept are both great, but unfortunately, Optimus goes boom when it comes to software, which is a critical part of the Mini Three. The author notes: “This software is unstable, feature poor, buggy, and even had incidents where the translations to English weren't complete. There is light a the end of the tunnel: The manufacturer will likely release their own upgrades to the software AND they have downloadable SDKs for both button layouts and device interaction.” I don’t know why companies can’t get their products working decently (nobody asked them to be perfect on the first try), especially when the product is so expensive and can literally change the way we perceive peripherals. If you must have this keypad, be prepared to shell out $160 for the unit and hope you are patient enough to workaround the buggy application. For the rest of us, let’s wait and see where Optimus goes before investing in a next-generation product. Read - Subscribe to CoolTechZone.com's Techblog RSS Feed
