Samsung WEP500: Bluetooth buttons

Edvarcl Heng | Mar 20, 2007

Unveiled for the first time at the CeBIT tradeshow in Hannover, Germany, the WEP500 is Samsung's latest mini Bluetooth headset. Unlike the elongated offerings we've seen from other manufacturers, the WEP500's uniqueness lies in its circular design. While the Korean company isn't releasing much information on this yet, we do know that the WEP500 will be launched within the second quarter of 2007 in Europe and Asia. Stay tuned for more updates.

WEP420: Samsung partners Bang & Olufsen again

Edvarcl Heng | Mar 20, 2007

While its name does nothing to suggest its pristine pedigree, its clean, sleek lines certainly bring to mind the same utilitarian design principles behind the BeoSound 9000 and the BeoSound 3. A sliding cover keeps the buttons hidden on this Bluetooth headset while offering the dual function of blocking out static. In a further nod to its exclusivity, a designer charging cradle comes with the WEP420 and it looks good enough to sit next to your Christofle candle stick.

E-Ten's glofiish X800 joins the WM6 rank

Damian Koh | Mar 19, 2007

Announced at CeBit 2007 is the E-Ten glofiish X800 which runs on the latest Windows Mobile 6.0 platform and supports a broad range of connectivity options including 3G and HSDPA. Now, that's one up on the Asus P526 spotted earlier also at the show.

The glofiish X800 measures 113.5 x 60.5 x 15.8mm with a form factor similar to the earlier X500. According to the press release, the X800 features a large VGA screen that displays up to four times the resolution of previous E-Ten handsets. The X800 also connects to Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth devices, and comes with onboard GPS capabilities. A 2-megapixel autofocus camera at the back keeps photographers happy, while a front-mounted lens allows for video calls. The E-Ten glofiish X800 is expected to be available in Asia sometime in July this year.

LiteOn Bracelet Phone

Juniper Foo | Mar 19, 2007

Nokia's been there, done that with concept phones that wrap around the wrist. So has BenQ-Siemens. Even DoCoMo's has had its Wristomo, a wristwatch that unfolds into a cell phone. Bearing that in mind, Hong Kong designer Tao Ma's Bracelet Phone isn't all that novel. However, he does get brownie points for an idea that's more jewelry than phone, allowing you to elegantly accessorize without being obvious it's a mobile. Everything's hidden, from the power button to the charging port, call answer and hang up buttons, and volume controls. Even the 10 button numbers are disguised as jewels. Did we also mention there's MP3 with matching earbuds included? According to Tao Ma, the bracelet vibrates when there are incoming messages. But to read or pick up a call, you have to remove the bracelet and there's no display screen to boot. Plus, based on the artist rendering, talking on it can be a mite tricky. But who're we kidding? Owning one will make you the green-eyed envy of the Paris Hilton crowd. Just point us in the right direction once this is out!
