If you do need this device, you probably have a ton of e-mails you want to deal with while on-the-go, in which case it’s an ideal solution. Or maybe you’re just addicted to SMS.

Jabra dog tag bluetooth set
Jabra has launched a somewhat interesting looking bluetooth set. The BT3030 resembles the famous dog tag, worn by the likes of Rambo and and the rest of the army. I haven’t seen the latest Rambo movie, but if he wanted to be a bit more like Bond, he’d have something like this.

It comes with bluetooth 2.0+EDR, HSP, HFP, A2DP and AVRCP support, six buttons for sending / ending calls and controlling music playback, as well as volume control. Get the BT303 next month in Japan or the U.S for $90. I would imagine this gives the army some ideas about updating the original dog tag.

The Mooon+: Not just another touchscreen phone
This is an interesting concept phone called the Mooon+ and it isn’t just another iPhone wannabe. It has a nice clean design, with a large touchscreen, sleek design, and a digital camera. It’s pretty sexy, but it’s not all about looks. It has some fascinating features. For instance, the mouth piece detaches and turns into a bluetooth headset. It will also charge itself via the headset.

Designed by Sunman Kwon, it pretty much solves the problem of cellphone owners who lose their headsets, by simply incorporating the accessory into the phone’s mouth piece.
