Bluetrek MetalThe company behind microSD-slot-packin’ Bluetrek Bizz, ModeLabs, announced a new Bluetooth headset. Instead of packing additional features like its predecessor, this baby rather focuses on size.

At just 4mm of thickness with weight that doesn’t exceed 5.5 grams, Bluetrek Metal is the world’s thinnest Bluetooth headset, period! You would think the size will limit the functionality of the device, but no – its battery can work for up to 5 hours in talk mode and more than 7 days in sleep mode. On the other hand, I wouldn’t expect the Jawbone-like sound quality, but a decent sound quality is promised nonetheless.

Finally, let’s talk about pricing and availability. According to ModeLabs’ release, Bluetrek Metal will be commercially available in Europe (select markets I guess, France is specially mentioned) later in the month. 39 EUR buys you the aluminium black+silver version, while the more expensive, silver stainless steel version costs 49 EUR.

And before I let you go, check out one more shot after the jump.

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
