Yellow Bluetooth Headset
http://www.openbrain.co.kr/e_site/e_products/e_products03.htm
"This Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headset, an alternative for wired PC headsets, provides high quality audio when connected to a Bluetooth enabled PC. Besides using this headset for game and internet purpose, it provides all the functions of a wired headset including MP3 music appre -ciation, movie, voice chatting, internet phone, recording etc."
Yellow and Blue(tooth) is a great combination, don't you think? (Sweden's colors!) This baby also supports Windows CE!

Pretty cool! For this kind of headset I was waiting for! But why Sweden!? Isn't it a Korean company!? ;-) Wouldn't be Swedish headsets made of wood and you would need to build it together by your own with much of pain - bwt...!? :P Kidding... ;-)
No, really - pretty cool. I'm sure this kind of headsets will boost the Bluetooth market!

Sorry for being stupid, but why would a headset need 128MB of flash memory ?

$50 for a Bluetooth usb dongle and you're on your way. Sounds potentially cool, I think that I'd like to see it.

The memory is to store music. It is also a portable music player. Bluetooth is used to transfer the files from PC.
It talks about being used with a phone. Is there a bluetooth phone on the market with stereo output?
It would be cool if there was a stereo adapter so i could use it with my HiFi system.

on the downside, the range on the site states less than 10 m in open! spaces. i thought bluetooth had a better range. it would be good then to connect to a portable device, but not a the belkin dongle.
on the plus side, in response to one of the above questions, i'm sure it comes with its own Ikea tool.

Actually for most current BT devices the range is much less than 10m, sometimes as little as 1-2m, and the quality on the headsets is pretty average at best. I certainly wouldn't use BT for playing music.

Personally, I think this device is great. I just wonder if it'll play nice with the Microsoft BT transceiver on the desktop. I wouldn't want to have multiple BT dongles attached to my PC just to have the different devices I like supported!
One thing I don't think will work is with my iPaq. The OpenBrain website mentions the A2DP profile, and I don't believe the 3x70's support that profile. :evil:
Also, it doesn't seem to suppor uncompressed audio, but that's not a huge deal. I don't think the current Bluetooth bandwidth can support 44 kHz stereo audio, but I haven't done the math 
Anyone seen pricing on it?

10 M = 30 feet
Bluetooth has always touted 30 feet as the range - it's a Personal Area Network right? :-) I know things like BT LAN access points can change this equation, but PAN is always "local".
