Panasonic EB-M70083 headphones bring your music to your headset
It appears only certan handsets will work with the EB-M80093 -- Japan's newest Bluetooth headphones / headset combo -- namely the NTT P902i, P902iS and P903i. But assuming you have one, the EB-M70083 will last for 4.5 hours of music playback or six hours of talk time and will fully charge in 2.5. Of course, we're still a little wary of wearing steal me white iPod-esque headphones that also somehow seem to smack of stethscopic design, but hey we've seen weirder headphones from over there before. Available December 1st in Japan for ¥6,825 ($59).[Via AV Watch]
NTT DoCoMo shows slew of new phones
At this point, we're beginning to wonder whether NTT DoCoMo can keep track of its own lineup, let alone its customers -- because we sure as heck can't. They've gone ahead and announced a mind-boggling eleven new handsets this week, all members of the new FOMA 903i series. The members of the series include entries from NEC, Sharp, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, and Sony Ericsson, with three (the D903iTV, P903iTV, and SH903iTV) supporting digital television, and another two rocking HSDPA. Interestingly, Panasonic's P903i supports a new security mechanism that's capable of locking the phone when it's taken a certain distance from an RFID card stored in the owner's wallet, handbag, or clothing -- while it won't prevent your phone from being stolen, it's not a bad idea for stopping the baddies from placing international calls on it.Read - NTT DoCoMo 903i product page (translated)Read - New Scientist
