Spracht is introducing a new hands-free mobile speakerphone, the Aura Mobile BT. It looks ideal for everyone from the executive user to “moms on the go” – and uses Bluetooth to transform mobile phones, cordless phones or computers into a high quality, digital conference phone.
Here’s what the PR says:
“The Aura Mobile BT™ turns a Bluetooth™ enabled mobile phone, cordless phone that has a headset jack, or a PC/Mac (for VoIP calls) into a high quality conference phone … The Aura Mobile BT has an advanced echo and noise cancellation system, allowing for clear and undisturbed calls … The Aura Mobile offers full duplex (93%) operation for simultaneous two way conversations without clipping, and multiple acoustic profiles which are automatically adjusted based on the type of communication. With a full 3 watt amplifier and dual speakers generating 95 dB, the Aura Mobile produces enough sound to fill a large conference room.”
The Aura Mobile is compatible with Skype, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Messenger, and all other VoIP softphones. Included with purchase are a wall charger, car charger, VoIP cable, cordless phone cable, and an external microphone for large conference rooms or noisy areas – I think that’s a pretty fair deal! And the best part – retail cost is $129.99 (available for purchase at www.spracht.com).
If we can lay our hands on one of these units, I will come back with a full product review for the readership!!

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
