At first glance, the Nextlink Bluespoon AX2 Ultra Small Wireless Bluetooth Headset looks like the bug in the first installment of the Matrix trilogy. Measuring 4.1 x 2.5 x 1.3cm and weighing 10g, the AX2 is the second smallest BT headset available at the moment. Up to 8 hours of talk time and 500-1500 hours of standby time is available per battery charge. Where else can one purchase a comfortable, pleasant looking Bluetooth headset that provides excellent sound quality no matter where you are? The Gadgeteer via Pocket PC Thoughts
Hop-On CEO claims the mid-tier phone market has room for more growth – room where Hop-On’s 1888 slider phone plans to exploit. The 1888 is a tri-band handset (900/1800/1900MHz) with a robust color screen, Bluetooth connectivity, a 1.3 megapixel camera, video streaming capabilities, supports MP3 and MPEG4 playback, and measures 88 x 43 x 24mm. It looks fashionable enough and carries all the features one would expect from a phone that comes with an extra 30% price premium. (
