Jawbone Air

Juniper Foo | Jul 03, 2006

Two years back, we wrote about the vogue-looking Aliph Jawbone headset, which featured bone conduction technology. Recently, we spotted what appeared to be its progeny at Hong Kong-based i.Tech's booth at CommunicAsia2006. While we weren't able to determine if this was, indeed, an Aliph issue, i.Tech's Jawbone Air works along the same lines. Its voice activity sensor picks up vibrations from your jawbone as you yak away, while onboard noise cancelation technology filters out ambient sounds for greater clarity. At least you don't have to stick a finger in your ear like the Finger Talk (Yubi-Wa) device.
