Apple's iPhone Bluetooth Headset unboxed

by Nilay Patel, posted Jul 23rd 2007 at 8:08PM


It looks like Apple's iPhone Bluetooth Headset is starting to trickle out to stores -- Flickr user Nomad found one in Marlton, NJ earlier today and documented the unboxing. No huge surprises -- yep, it's still a minimalist black stick -- but there's a couple nifty features: when both the iPhone and headset are connected to the dual-charging dock, the iPhone's screen shows the headset's charge in addition to its own, and the travel cable uses a MagSafe connector. We're still not sure it's worth $129, of course, but that dual dock does look convenient.

Belkin's iPhone accessory salmagundi now shipping

by Darren Murph, posted Jul 3rd 2007 at 9:23AM


What better way to cap off a recent $600 or so purchase than to spend even more money accessorizing it? The myriad of Belkin wares we spoke of a short time ago has hit the market just in time to grab your attention (and dough), and users itching to wrap their precious toy up in a clear acrylic case ($29.99), armband ($29.99), or slim-fit holster ($29.99) can now pick up any of the three. Additionally, a number of 3.5-millimeter stereo cables and headphone adapters are also available, but they aren't likely to perform any differently than the bargain variety already out there. Check 'em all out below in glorious high-resolution.

iPhone and iPod accessories: what works, what doesn't

by Nilay Patel, posted Jul 1st 2007 at 8:32AM

In addition to documenting every last swoop of the iPhone's interface, we've also been busy plugging this thing into anything we can find with a 30-pin dock connector. The results are actually kind of surprising: while it looks like a bunch of third-party headphones are out, most iPod accessories seem to work, although the iPhone isn't exactly happy about it -- it pops up a warning and offers to put itself in airplane mode so you don't hose your speakers with GSM signal noise. Ah, so that's what that patent application was for. Click on for a list of what we've found, and let us know how you're doing in the comments.

iPhone accessories unveiled: Bluetooth headset (with dock) is $129

by Thomas Ricker, posted Jun 29th 2007 at 9:07AM

The iPhone accessories have been announced. It's a fairly limited assortment with the most interesting being Apple's new Bluetooth headset. $129 is the price just like we heard. 5.5-hours of talk and 72-hours of standby. And yes, it includes the iPhone Dual Dock which allows you to charge the iPhone and headset in parallel. Otherwise, that dock is $49. Sorry, they don't list the headset without the dock. The iPhone Bluetooth Travel cable (pictured to the right) goes for $29 as will a pair of replacement stereo headphones. The $49 iPhone Dock (which may or not be the same one shipping with the iPhone) also includes an audio line-out jack. Apple also unveiled the "Works with iPhone" logo. Remember, not all iPod accessories (like FM transmitters) will work with the iPhone. What do you want for $500?
