Alliteration aside, the Bluetrek Bizz is looking to blend the world of USB devices and Bluetooth headsets. It’s a Bluetooth headset combined with a USB drive that accepts microSD cards for storage (thus turning it into a microSD card reader as well.)

While it may not be as fashionable as other Bluetooth devices, it gets the job done and the extra functionality it packs makes it worthwhile. Scoop one up for $55 or rob a Best Buy. I wouldn’t recommend the latter.

Too much time, too many babies, this is a home-made “Gucci” handsfree device posted on Yahoo Taiwan’s auction site. At least this is more original than the Mokia Notorola phones. 3 cents, why not? Baby not bundled. –Sam Chan

We’ve all seen Bluetooth headsets for cellphones, we’ve also seen in-car speaker phone, a lot of us may also own an iTrip, now imagine putting all 3 together; you’ll end up listening to your own voice over the FM radio. Princeton Japan has announced this new in-car hands-free that borrows your car’s HiFi system as speaker for speaker phone, it can also act as an iTrip to have the music in your music players transmitted via FM and be played over the sound system on board. All you have to do is to hook up any mp3 player with this device over the analogue cable (3.5mm jack) and you’re good to go. Similarly, switch the end to the headset jack of your cellphone if you want it to act as a headset. The good thing about not supporting bluetooth will be its price: 45USD, which is about half that of bluetooth speaker phone systems. –Sam Chan

When Apple is still working on their phone and all the fanboys are arguing about the validity of their rumor sources, there’s one thing you can buy to avoid all that nuisance and waiting. British company Mavizen has started selling the myBlu adapter that connects your iPod with your phone. myBlu is essentially a wired iPod remote with a mic that also acts as a headset, to set up, simply connect it with your phone via Bluetooth 2.0 and your iPod with the wire (duh). When a call comes in, the iPod music will be paused, the caller details will be displayed on the iPod screen, and you can accept or reject the call with the buttons on myBlu. When you are done with the call, iPod music will be resumed. Users can also choose from a list of 9 most recently received or dialed numbers off the iPod with the clickwheel and start a new call. The myBlu feeds power from the iPod so it does not require any extra batteries, it is also an FM receiver that can store up to 15 radio stations. Mavizen said that the myBlu supports the iPod mini, 1st and 2nd generations of iPod Nano, as well as 4-5th generation iPod (photo). The myBlu is currently selling in Hong Kong for $76, some people claimed that these can also be found in downtown London. — Sam Chan

Wow. If you want to look extremely strange… possibly like a robot, then the Iqua Snake 2 Bluetooth phone is definitely for you. As you can see, it is meant to connect in your car as a way to talk on your cellphone without using your hand to hold your phone against your ear. Please, don’t get us wrong, we have nothing against safety, but there are many far more functional and attractive devices on the market already that do the same job as the Snake. There are speakers on either side of your head when it is connected as shown. That means cellphone talk in stereo! Or not. It is rated as having a battery life of about 8 hours of talk time, which is a solid amount of time. Hopefully it comes with an adapted for your car, or this baby doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of having anyone buy it. For $179, you might save a few lives (although you probably haven’t taken any yet), but there are other options, please look around. — Nik Gomez

The Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth headset was created to revolutionize how headsets worked and the quality with which they delivered you your conversations. It works with multiple tiny microphones to provide a superb noise-canceling headset that improves call quality. It is able to detect the difference between your voice and every other ambient sound that shouldn’t be put through to the person you are talking to so that they only hear you. This removes the need to repeat yourself over and over.

The Jawbone not only uses revolutionary technology to work perfectly, it also looks great. It sets itself apart from the other clunky headsets by having its design defined by its name. This device doesn’t protrude away from your head, instead it curves slightly to the contours of your face. It is very small and short, and is now available in red. The Jawbone goes for about $120. To be the highest tech guy in your office, isn’t it worth it?
