BT500+: Bluetake’s Bluetooth Mouse
May 5, 2006
They also say it with these words on Engadget: we all know what these things do and how they work. Nevertheless, I quite liked the clean look of this rechargeable Bluetooth mini-mouse. This new model improves the recharging functionality of the older versions, and its batteries can be recharged through a USB cable. No price yet, but it is sure a nice little baby, ideal for travelling.

Newest Drives With BlueTooth Technology
April 21, 2006
A new breed of cd-roms will soon be here and they come with the bluetooth technology and will be called bd-rom.
The Blu-ray Disc drive which corresponds to the single sided 2 layer of the BD-R/RE, corresponds to the entry of the largest 50GB. It supports also the entry to various DVD/CD media. However, the movie of the BD-ROM is appreciated, the video card of HDCP correspondence (recommendation above the VRAM 256MB), display and the Pentium D which have the DVI/HDMI terminal in HDCP correspondence (above the 3gHz) the CPU being necessary, it has made future guide schedule in regard to the playback software.
Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard
April 14, 2006
Welcome to the future. ThinkGeek now has for sale a virtual keyboard. It uses bluetooth technology (but what doesn’t these days?) and just looks cool. Just put the device on a flat surface and get your blue tooth capable cell phone, etc and begin typing away, while you hear sounds of clicking keys.
I remember seeing this on an episode of CSI: Miami about two months ago maybe. I wasn’t aware of such a thing until then and was even wondering if it was just something they made. (You do know that not everything on that show is real, technology wise right?)
Remember when you were promised all those amazing future tech innovations? Just around the corner was supposed to be a shining technology utopia with flying cars, personal space travel to distant galaxies, and bio-implantable cell phones. It’s almost disappointing enough to make you sit at home and watch old episodes of “Space 1999″.
Siemens and BenQ team up on phones
January 18, 2006
BenQ and Siemens will soon launch three new devices:
The EF81 (far left–the first two pics) is a slim clamshell combines 3G connectivity with tri-band GSM, dual 262K color display, 2 megapixel swivel camera, 64 MB of onboard memory, Bluetooth, USB connectivity, a MicroSD card expansion slot and built-in media player.
The S88 (middle–the black device) is a candybar phone that features a two megapixel camera, a 2-inch OLED display, PictBridge (for direct-to-printer output), Bluetooth, a MicroSD slot, and USB connectivity. It only has 16MB of memory, though, and doesn’t have 3G connectivity (just plain old tri-band GSM with GPRS).
The S68 is also a candybar phone that includes a 262K colour display, Bluetooth, USB connectivity, PIM, utility suites, EDGE, and a measly 8 MB of memory.

The T-Mobile MDA IV and the T-Mobile SDA (HTC Tornado) had been announced in Europe one year ago, but since then, there hadn’t been any news about these two Smartphones ever coming to the US market. It seems that things are diferent now: according to the rumor, T-Mobile USA will start taking pre-orders for these on the 19th. The SDA (the smaller of both) runs Windows Mobile SmartPhone edition ans has Bluetooth connectivity; the MDA includes WLAN, GPRS, Bluetooth, two cameras, a full keyboard and a high-resolution VGA screen.

January 12, 2006
Here’s Starnex’ Self Guard (SG-210), a portable audio and video recording system–in other words, a camera coupled to a microphone, to store both types of data. The microphone is in the shape of a button, and can easily be worn on a suit. The data is transmitted in real time using Bluetooth technology; the device detects and automatically records movements, and can be driven remotely.
