Bluetooth device maker Jabra strengthening cooperation with RIM, HTC and Asustek, company executive says

GN Netcom, which markets Jabra-branded Bluethooth devices, has stepped up its cooperation with smartphone vendors including RIM (Research in Motion), HTC (High Tech Computer) and Asustek Computer, in addition to producing stereo headsets supporting iPhones, according to Leon Li, regional managing director, APAC, mobile at GN Netcom.

GN has produced a Bluetooth headset for HTC for global sales on an OEM basis, and also cooperated with Dopod in the China market on bundled sales, Li noted.

In addition, GN and Asustek are cooperating in regional bundled sales with the scope of the cooperation extending from handsets to PC systems, Li added.

The penetration rate of Bluetooth headsets in the global headset market currently averages 9% worldwide, but is up to 20% in the US market, Li said citing data compiled by GN.

However, demand for high-end stereo Bluetooth headsets in the Asia-Pacific region is higher than that in the US and Europe as consumers in Asia are more apt to use handsets as multimedia players, Li asserted.

Sony Ericsson MW600 Review

If you're someone who regularly finds themselves driving, or cycling, or skiing, or cooking, or cleaning, or doing anything - for that matter - which requires your hands and at least a portion of your concentration, then you'll know the value of a Bluetooth headset. But in the more energetic of the aforementioned pursuits, you'll find that a regular ol' one-eared headset won't do. They fall out. When you're halfway down a Colorado piste, or leaning over your stew, the last thing you want that little bit of expensive plastic to do is fall out. Enter Sony Ericsson's MW600 - a teeny-tiny device with a big clip that lets you turn any pair of headphones into a Bluetooth headset. But is it worth shelling out your hard-earned cash for? Do you really need the MW600 in your life? Look down at your little finger on your left hand. The MW600 is about the same size as that. It has a clip on the back that reaches two-thirds of the w...

Roqbot Is A Jukebox On Your iPhone

Something unusual happened last Friday night at Bar Basic here in San Francisco. When I walked in, the entire room was fixated on on a screen above the bar, which displayed what looked like a musical game but wasn’t karaoke. The game? Roqbot, a unique iPhone app that allows you to yes, pick the music playing at a bar. Like a combination Pandora and traditional jukebox, Roqbot allows you to control the tunes without getting up from where you’re sitting. The inspiration for Roqbot came when one of the co-founders got frustrated using the jukebox at a bowling alley — Every time he had to walk across the bowling alley he would miss his turn. Roqbot, which shares the space with jukebox networks TouchTunes and eCast, is the first startup that I’ve seen experimenting with bringing social music to real life businesses like bars and cafes. Up until now plenty of people have deployed this concept for private settings, but no one has touched public because of the many challenges involved. Co-foun...

Give Your Business a New Look with a New Logo

What do you think looks more professional : a letterhead with a neat, relevant log at the top or a letterhead produced in a word processor saying something like ‘Smith and Sons Ltd Builders’? In truth, both say the same thing, but when it arrives the letter could be from anyone, whereas the logo stands out and immediately tells your mind where this letter came from. If you really want to create an impression with your business you need to get a unique logo, preferably with a shape most people do not use, but which is original. This not lonely makes it easy for people to recognise letters from you, but they will also notice your adverts and flyers as being from you. So long as your company has a good image, this will give them a good impression to start with. The fact is that a good logo stands out and creates an everlasting impression in the minds of your customers. A good logo will help you build your business more quickly, and that is what all of us businessmen and businesswomen want...
