Now that the bluetooth show in Japan is over, I'm able to show the new products.
YOUTH-series Young fashion series of covers for the Bluespoon. There will be different ones,..here's a few :
CLASSIC-series More stylish, classic design, and also special editions for e.g. countries, and companies :
The 3 completely new products are :
SPOONCAM bluetooth digital camera which uses phones screen as viewfinder. Pairing is done with phone.
SPOONFM bluetooth fm-radio, pairing is done with headset.
SPOONPLAYER bluetooth MP3 player with SD or MMC-cards. Pairing is done with headset.
Of course the main attraction was the Bluespoon itself,..and it was very popular over there  Was reviewed in a japanese web-magazine,..and a big italian magazine as well.
So things are going very well here

I can see you guys must have been busy, those look like great new products!
I take it when you say pairing is done with headset, you wouldn't even need a phone, you could have the mp3 player and a headset standalone.
Could the headset be simultaneously paired with the phone and the player? Could be very interesting!
I take it though that these products only work in mono on the one ear 
Still, look great, obvious questions... when and how much?

hehe,...thanks a lot
Just to be sure that everyone knows :
MP3player, Radio and Camera are not headsets,..they do not sit on the ear. The mp3-player and Fm-radio are paired with a BT-headset,..and you listen to music/radio through the headset.
The camera is linked/paired with the phone.
All 3 products have hooks/holders on the backside, so you can wear them around your neck, in a belt or just put them in the pocket.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes well first of all we did think about making the radio and mp3 player "mono",...basically because you would use an ordinary bluetooth headset. The whole idea,..that you dont have to go out and get a specialized double-headset for when listening to music or radio.
But we're considering some other options too. It is complicated, because we cant "just" add an xtra ear-piece. This ear-piece would have to be bluetooth enabled too.
Or you would need a cable between the two headset-pieces. Or a sort of link between the real bluetooth-headset and its ear-piece.
At the same time,..we dont want it to be too complicated and expensive. It would be nice, if people could actually "afford" it too
Working on this part,..will solve it of course
There're no specifications on the camera yet. It uses the phones screen,..like the MCA-20,..and when you shoot the picture,..its then transfered to the phone via bluetooth.
No prices or release-dates on these products yet.
The main issue/focus right now is the Bluespoon.
Its working good. A lot of people on the Bluetooth-show were very interested in the Bluespoon,..and the other products as well.
Also some very big companies

Ulukai > Bluespoon is a bluetooth (wireless) headset just like e.g. HBH-15 and others from SonyEricsson.
The Bluespoon is at this moment the smallest bluetooth headset in the world,..weights less than 10g. Very good sound-quality. Because of its size alone, we use some very specialized materials, e.g. microphone, speaker and so on.
You can see and read about it here : http://www.nextlink.to
Its called Bluespoon, because it was shaped/moulded in a teaspoon, and well the "blue" part of the name, is because its bluetooth
So to find out just how big (small) Bluespoon is,..grap a teaspoon, hehe.
It will fit in that !

Oh yeh.. thanks for the previous reply in the other forum!

i have one question for jh...if you r willing to share it.
what type of bluetooth chip are you using? because all current chip tht provide bluetooth wireless function is not small enough to fit into the bluespoon set. the surface area those chip have is almost same as the headset and this is still excluding the switches, battery, speaker and microphone. I just get very excited to see you can squeeze so many things into such small size.

Your welcome. No I dont have any prices on these new things. We havent talked about pricing/releases yet.
Thanks,..glad You like my drawings
c96sthl >
Yes they do fit  We use the newest bluetooth chipset.
Its very small,..sorry, but thats all I'm allowed to say
I cant go into the tech-part.
It all fits very neatly into the Bluespoon. You have to remember, that the other parts we use in the headset, are quite unique,..extremely small. Everything in the Bluespoon is smaller than regular headset-parts.

Ok the microphone used in the bluespoon sences jaw vibrations which are transmitted to the bloospoon, what i dont understand is that how the bluespoon can actually interpret your voice, or mostly the tone of your voice through these vibrations. Also if you are in a club and try to talk on the bluespoon with all the bass causing your whole body to vibrate what does that mean for the bluespoon....since your jaw is constantly vibrating i am guessing this person will sound like an alien or something. jh67 could you plz answer this? |
