Newton Peripherals ultra-thin MoGo Headset to charge via cellphone

by Thomas Ricker posted Mar 28th 2007 at 7:15AM

Newton Peripherals is no stranger to the world of small and thin. So the miniscule size of their new MoGo Headset -- the "thinnest, lightest headset in the world" -- should come as little surprise. Still, at less than 5-mm thick with 6-hours of talk time and claimed "natural audio" sound, this Bluetooth 2.0 headset does indeed, impress. The headset can be charged in less than an hour via your laptop's PCMCIA or ExpressCard slot -- AC adapter is optional. Uniquely, however, is the tantalizing idea of storing and charging the thin headset via a slot integrated into (or onto) your cellphone (concept pictured above-right). Newton Peripherals is only in "discussions with one of the world's largest manufactures of wireless phones" at this point so who knows when we might see such a solution hit as product. Still, we likey eh Mikey?

Meh, Jabra JX10 FTW - better proportions and proven design. You can charge it from a cradle or PC too. Widely available in 3 colors for less than $100

Highly Ranked

Anyone besides me think people look like HUGE toolboxes when they wear these things around when they're not on the phone?

YES! Some kid was on a homebrew type gameshow in my college a while back and he wore one of these while in front of everyone. The announcer made fun of him, asking him if he was expecting a call, and he said no.

What a dork.

I find African Americans tend to find it more fashionable than Caucasians from my experience.

I guess if they don't want earrings.. I don't know, it's stupid.

Hey dumb asses! She's 12!

She's not 12, and if she is, she looks mature for her age. How often does a bluetooth earpiece company advertise using a 12 year old? Hm?

I say she's beautiful, and I'd ask her out for a date in 3.2 seconds.
