New Jabra CLIPPER Bluetooth, clips on, makes you look less like a geek

Face it you look like an alien with that Bluetooth dongle hanging in your ear. And people think you are either neurotic, pretentious or insane to think you will be getting so many calls that you could not possibly reach into a pocket to get a phone in time. Well Jabra has come up with a practical and discreet way of answering your phone while listening to your iPod and not looking like a complete idiot. It is the Jabra Clipper and it works with your MP3 player headset.

You clip it onto your earphone wires and then on your jacket or handbag. Then you can keep your phone and MP3 player in your pocket or bag and walk around listening to music until the phone rings. Then the little device switches you to your phone. You can listen to music at full blast (not recommended) and the Clipper will override the music and switch to the phone, with one button. You can pause, change the volume or skip a track. The signal will reach 10 meters (aka 33 feet) so I guess you could leave your phone in a locker and still get a call listening to your iPod on the treadmill. Nice.

It works with all Bluetooth (2.1 incl. EDR, A2DP and AVRCP) including the Apple iPhone and iPod touch. You can even connect to two different devices at the same time, including your PC. You can use your expensive Lady GaGa headphones (or any other), or the noise-blocking in-ear buds it comes with, it’s up to you. It gives you six hours of talk time and 8 days of standby and it is a small 48 mm x 16 mm x 25-1/2mm and 20 grams. Now if you could just get it with Swarovski crystals, you’d have something there.
It will cost $49.99, when it goes on sale in March.
