Join Verbatim’s Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard for iDevices
This Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard from Verbatim is a lot like the one from Kensington that I reviewed the other day.
This one is made specifically for iDevices running iOS 4.0 or higher, and it is a heck of a lot more compact. The whole thing folds up to a size that is a little bigger than the palm of your hand, and it has this iPhone Stand that can unfold from the device and snap right back in.
The enhanced Bluetooth ability allows users to join up six devices at once, and the keyboard itself has some great hotkeys available. For example, it has a media console with play, pause, and other ways to control iTunes. Other useful keys include cut, copy, and paste.

BlueAnt’s Q2 Bluetooth Headset
BlueAnt has made a very big boast, as they claim that the Q2 is “the best sounding Bluetooth headset ever built”.
I don’t know if it is safe to say that, but the Q2 does have some great things going for it. The Q2 has some really high quality speakers that were precision tuned and tested in a professional sound studio with other advanced equalization technology thrown in.
It also has state-of-the-art noise elimination and intelligent adaptive controls, for loud sound without the distortion in the background. In other words, your voice will be heard no matter what goes on in the background.

Cirago’s Bluetooth 3.0 High Speed Adapter
What you are seeing here next to the two bits is the Bluetooth 3.0 High Speed Adapter from Cirago.
Cirago boasted in the product’s Press Release that this High Speed Adapter (BTA7300) is “one of the only such devices on the market to combine the latest in Bluetooth 3.0 technology with 802.11n Wi-Fi capability on the same device”.
I got a chance to try out this Class 2 mini adapter, and I found that my computer recognized it after a few minutes. I’m not certain if most laptops have Bluetooth as a standard feature, but if your computer does not, then Cirago’s new device might be just what you want. I used it to pair with my new Kensington KeyFolio Pro Universal Removable Bluetooth Keyboard for 10-inch Tablets (check my last post to get the lowdown on that gadget).

Kensington KeyFolio Pro Universal Removable Bluetooth Keyboard for 10-inch Tablets
I always like to know what Kensington Technologies is up to, and I got a chance to try out their KeyFolio Pro Universal Removable Bleutooth Keyboard for ten inch tablets.
After all, why should the iPad and iPad get their own Folio keyboards while there are some pretty decent 10-inch Android tablets out there. It is designed to pair with just about any Bluetooth device, really.
It uses sets of StrongFit corners that can provide a custom and secure fit for large and small tablets, and they will Velcro in place. Think of it as a picture frame with adjustable edges, just designed for a tablet or phone. You have to see it to believe it.

Nokia Luna Bluetooth headset
Let’s face the facts and man up – how many of us comply to state laws that require us to use hands-free kits whenever we attend to an incoming call? I would suppose many of us take chances that the men in blue aren’t watching, but then again to be fair, the law was enforced because research has clearly shown that we cannot fully concentrate on what is ahead of us on the roads if we were to be occupied by the conversation that is being held at the moment, especially when it is with an engrossing friend.
Well, you might loathe Bluetooth headsets simply because of the way it looks while you wear one, but sometimes aesthetics will need to be sacrificed for the greater good – that is, safety of everyone else on the road. Of course, with today’s modern smartphones, having yet another power zapping feature turned on might be a step backwards, but on the other hand you have the advantage of using both hands to do some other stuff without having to crank your neck sideways to one side in order to cradle the phone. Nokia might have something worth your attention and money with their Nokia Luna Bluetooth headset.

Jaybird Wireless Bluetooth Buds
For some reason, a lot of wireless headphones designed for the sporting crowd tend to follow this new trend of dual earbuds with a behind the neck wire.
I am talking about wireless earphones such as the Jabra SPORT, and the latest to join the crowd is the Jaybird Wireless Bluetooth Buds. What makes them different? They have a lifetime warranty against sweat. Oh, if only everything had such a guarantee.
I got a chance to try it out, and the sound is quite good. It also has a microphone for taking calls. The buds have 3 sizes of ear tips, as well as 3 sizes of fit ear cushions. This insures that these buds will stay in the ears under active conditions.

Logitech Wireless Headset syncs with Bluetooth
I seem to be reviewing a lot of Bluetooth Wireless headsets lately. There was the Jabra SPORT as well as the NuForce BT-860, and I notice that there isn’t much to say about them other than the fact that they are wireless.
I will have to admit that the Logitech’s seems to ignore the traditional black for white. It also has a nice noise-cancelling microphone that reduces background noise and can detect a whisper. The microphone can rotate upward into the headphones for something more compact.
While we are on the subject of compact, I will say that these headphones can fold up like sunglasses. It also has an adjustable headband.

Kanex AirBlue Portable Bluetooth Music Receiver
This little disc that you see here is the Kanex AirBlue, and it is very similar to the Orb Music Player that I covered a few days ago.
It its own words, the Kanex AirBlue is a portable Bluetooth-based music receiver that enables a user to wirelessly play, listen and control all favorite media from an iDevice, smartphone, or any Bluetooth compatible device.
I got to try it out, and it involves pairing a phone with the AirBlue disc and plugging it into the speakers. The range is about 33 feet away, and it works with the “high fidelity and premium sound” that it advertises.
