Orb Bluetooth Headset Turns Into a Ring Hi-Tech Comm Device Goes from Earwear to Handwear

It seems that Transformer mania has finally pervaded the world of
hands-free with the creation of the Orb Bluetooth headset. This nifty
little gadget is the result of a collaboration between Hybra Advance
Technology Inc. and AbsolutelyNew Inc. and goes from ultra-sleek
wireless communication device to high-fashion fingerwear with a simple
twist. As far as Bluetooth devices are concerned, this one ranks pretty
high on the fashion scale.

But the Orb isn't just good looks. This high-tech gizmo incorporates NXT
technology and provides high quality bone conduction audio without the
discomfort of placing a device inside the ear. All units will offer a
Class 2 Bluetooth range of 30-ft. It's both form and function. Rumor has
it that there is also a deluxe edition in the works that will feature
a Flexible Organic Light Emitting Device (FOLED) screen to display
caller ID, calendar reminders, and voice-to-text information for
communication without taking the ring off the finger.
The Orb will be available in various sizes and for those who like their
Bluetooth headsets on the sparkly side, it will available in a limited
edition designer model that features integrated decorative gemstones.
The base model Orb is slated for January 2010 availability and will
sport a MSRP of $129. The Deluxe edition is due out the following April
with a MSRP of $175.
