Just
Neck It....
I
just got back from Comdex and now I'm getting ready for CES.. So I look forward
to doing reviews on a lot of neat stuff. One
of the most exiting companies I talked to was Futurecom ( http://www.futurecomglobal.com/main.htm
)
Now
if you check out this company’s web site you will have no idea why I'm telling
you about them. Unfortunately their
web site looks nice, but tells you nothing. I hope they will rebuild it with
more GO and less FLASH.
Anyway,
back to the point. I will be
testing several products from them. The
most exciting one is their V-Touch head set for cell phones.
This is a great case of everything old is new again.
This unit uses a pick up on your neck to get your voice.
No microphone, so no background noise.
I really look forward to doing a full review on this unit.
They also make a 2.4 Ghz Wireless earpiece headset that looks like a
winner. I should have a full review
for you folks ready for the February issue.
Plantronics
says Goodbye to Hello....
Plantronics
has had a long-standing relationship with Hello Direct, but due to the impending
acquisition of Hello Direct, Inc. by GN Netcom, a competitor of Plantronics,
Plantronics has decided to no longer provide products to Hello Direct. So if
you’re looking for those great Plantronics products just check out their web
site at : http://www.plantronics.com
Talking
about great products. Plantronics
has just come out with a new headset. The
DuoPro. This is what they say about
it:
"DuoPro
is the most versatile headset ever made, incorporating an industry-first,
ergonomically engineered headband design to distribute weight evenly across the
head. The unique design eliminates direct pressure on the ear, increasing
all-day wearing comfort. The DuoPro is available in over-the-head, over-the-ear
and convertible models with noise-canceling microphone. "
So
just how good is it? Well if it's
like past products it will live up to the Plantronics name, but I'll be able to
tell you for sure very soon. I'm
getting one to play with. I'm also
looking forward to seeing these fine folks in January at CES.
I'll start my updates in a month or so.
See you then.
