Hi !
I work as an industrial designer, and I've just designed a new bluetooth headset.
The headset which I have designed for a Danish company, is soon to be released.
And from today, I'm able to say more about it. Some of you have probably already seen the prototype on http://www.expansys.com.
The headset is called BLUESPOON from the company Nextlink.to.
The productionmodel can now be seen on :
http://www.nextlink.to
Extremely small, fits in the ear. Special "ear-lock", for "right ear use".
Battery talk-time : 7-8 hours.
Weight : under 10 gram !
You should be able to preorder it from Expansys. They have about 50 pre-orders on the headset already.

Lusipher :
It should/will be cheaper than the Ericsson headsets. Dont know exactly how much yet.
Depends also on production-costs, materials.

Thanks laffen
Yep, its really nice, and really small too !
I personally havent tested the sound-quality yet,..but according to "the sound-lab" it should be very good.
The little piece on the bottom is actually the microphone, as you probably already guessed. We would have made it "internal", and it might be in future versions.
We are constantly testing different ways to do this.
The ear-hook thing can be shaped individually to fit all, and fits perfectly.
You cant really "feel", that you're actually wearing a headset

Joen and Henrik...thaanks guys
It can actually be ordered from expansys in UK. Ofcourse its "preorder", and no price-tag yet. Expansys have already got about 50 orders on it
I should know more about the price in late january,..and I'll get back with this info as soon as I know.
The design had to be special/different, and we had to get it right the first time,..I think we pretty much did that.
It might come in different colors from the beginning,..this hasnt really been decided yet. But the silver metallic,grey-black and transparent blue, should be the "main-model".
BTW: The LEDS flash through the transparent blue-piece,..so you get a BLUE light

Nice Piece... Really 'futuristic'
Question : How does it charge? Do you have to plug it in or has it something like a cradle?
