Bluetooth SIG announced the winners of its third annual Best of CES Contest to highlight the “hottest, most innovative and consumer friendly Bluetooth enabled products,” and to get some media attention, we might add.
Anyway, 48 new Bluetooth products were submitted in categories focusing on what consumers can do with the technology – talk on a headset, input information, listen to music, transfer information, or use in an industrial or other vertical environment. After “carefully testing” each of the products, Bluetooth SIG picked the winners:
- Overall – Samsung P2 Widescreen Music Player
- Headset – Plantronics Voyager 855 Bluetooth Stereo Headset (finalist: Motorola MotoPURE H12)
- Input – Logitech Cordless Desktop MX5500 Revolution Keyboard (finalist: Newton Peripherals MoGo Mouse X54 Pro)
- Music – Parrot DS1120 Bluetooth Speakers (finalist: Samsung P2 Widescreen Music Player; honorable mention Motorola RAZR2 V9)
- Transfer – Motorola T815 (finalist: Samsung SGH-i617 Blackjack II)
- Vertical – Ford SYNC, powered by Microsoft Auto (finalist: Baracoda ScanWear; honorable mention Motorola MotoROKR T505)
It’s not exactly the “pure” mobile phone news, but it’s cool enough… The official release is available from here.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
