Voip is blue for Christmas
Thursday, December 14, 2006
Or it's gonna be. Maybe. Sony Ericsson just announced the HBV-100 VoIP Bluetooth kit, scheduled for release late Q4 2006...I don't know how to tell you this guys, but you're just about as late as you can get and still make that '06 deadline.
Is this Bluetooth voip internet phone headset going to make it into some lucky person's stocking, or are we looking at a launch more closely aligned with the Season of Resolutions, aka--some time in Q1 2007?
I'm voting for Xmas. Half of this sleek little voip adapter plugs into your laptop, while the other needs to be installed in your ear. With the entire assembly weighing in at less than an ounce, I'd be willing to bet that it won't be a pain to walk around with the HBV-100 super glued to the side of your head. Talk time is supposed to be around 13 hours, with a full 300+ for standby hours.
I've only got one question; what do they mean by this:
Note: Internet calling or the use of VoIP-related features may cause sound performance disruptions to the Bluetooth VoIP Kit HBV-100. Microsoft Windows, Windows XP or later is required.
Because it kind of sounds like they're saying if you use the Bluetooth VoIP adapter for voip, you'll have sound problems and I'm pretty sure that might totally harsh your voip scene.
