Aliph Sweet Talk and Dirty Talk limited-edition Jawbone headsetsAccording to an announcement, Aliph has released a few new designs of the wireless Bluetooth Jawbone headsets in three new limited-edition styles. The Jawbone headset seemed to be fairly stylish as it was, coming in colors of red, black and sliver with the sharp, metal grill look.

Aliph Trash Talk Limited edition Jawbone headsetThe three new models are from designer Yves Behar and come in gold, white, and black each complete with their own theme. The black model has a “mud flap girl” silhouette and is called the Dirty Talk. The gold model is called the Sweet Talk and ha a flower etched into it, and lastly (and our favorite), the white model is named the Trash Talk and has some expletive symbols stamped into the side.

RIM files patent for familiar-looking QWERTY slider

RIM patents a QWERTY slider phoneA new patent application showed up recently on the USPTO website from Research In Motion (RIM), the makers of Blackberry mobile devices. The application shows a slider phone with a hidden QWERTY keyboard behind and looks an awful lot like some mobile handsets we’ve seen recently from HTC.

The device is described by RIM as a Hybrid Portrait-Landscape Device With Trackball Navigation and Qwerty Hideaway Keyboard. I don’t think we’ve seen any devices from HTC that have a trackball which is somewhat of a trademark of RIM, but is that enough to make this a novel invention? We’re also wondering if this could be the new touchscreen BlackBerry that we’ve been hearing rumors about for quite some time now.
