I’m happy. Occasionally, we get through innovative takes on mobile gadgetry, and this I think of one of them. OK, it does addresses the business user market segment more squarely, but who would have thought combining a passcard holder and Bluetooth holder could be such a good idea?!
Well that’s exactly what IQUA have done, and what MobileFun are retailing – even better, they’ve given us a review unit, plus THREE (yes, THREE!) units to give away!
Here’s a little info on the units:
Key Features:
Bluetooth handsfree and corporate ID badge holder combined
Accepts an ID card that measures up to 85mm by 55mm
Easy to carry and use
Stylish design to complement your professional look
Talktime up to 40h!
Standby time up to 600h
Vibration to alert incoming calls silently during meetings
3-way conference call
Support for VOIP calls
Switch between phone and handsfree modes
Bluetooth connection active, call status and low battery indicated by multi-colored LEDs
The competition should be going live alongside one of ‘The Signal’ Podcasts, in the next month or so! In the meanwhile you can buy them here.
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.
