Tooth for a tooth

Now this, this is waaaaay cool.  Take a look at the link on ExtremeTech… It’s worth it. 

Once upon a time, people wondered what the heck Bluetooth was going to be useful for.

Now, one of most drool-worthy Bluetooth devices (well, besides the Smart car) is on the horizon, and believe it or not, it's *gasp* practical!

XtremeMac has announced the iPod Bluetooth adapter, which will enable the user to stream audio to headphones, speakers, and even your car (hmm, a Smart perhaps?). To me, this is the ultimate iPod accessory, since it gives you ultimate mobility. If this thing works (and works well), I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

FM transmitters, like my iTrip, are all fine and dandy, but I've had a few issues with it lately. I often fumble with it to find and tune an appropriate frequency. It also does not fit on my iPod when it is in its case (an iSee). Lately, it has also been acting a bit flaky about working at all. Long story short? I need a new drug.

More details on this Bluetooth device are available at ExtremeTech (it is mentioned near the end of the first page).

Nirotek's single speaker surround sound system

Wow, this is cool.  Someone smarter than me will have to explain what the heck they are doing to make this work…

Pioneer has something similar; their PDSP-1 is actually a single panel with 254 small speakers that project the sound in different ways to create the effect of surround sound. Read...

Here is a quote in the news release from a pretty reliable source that you may know ;)  "“Microsoft’s Voice Command sets a new standard in voice-controlled applications for mobile devices,” said Dale Coffing, editor in chief of PocketPCPassion.com. “The out-of-the-box experience for making phone calls, hearing the details of upcoming appointments and listening to music is superb. Being able to use my Pocket PC so easily while driving my car or just walking down the street is phenomenal.” Here is a Flash Demo at Microsoft
