The "Fashion for heads" concept

You've probably seen lots of human-like creatures wearing phone wireless headsets. Bluetrek is probably going to have problems trying to tell them about the new trend: jewel-headsets. Jewelry has a lot to do with the gadgetry in motion concept, that's what they're saying. "Fashion for heads"?! They've been yelling about their idea for about 4 months now.

Bluetrek Mini is their latest release (launched at CeBIT). It resembles Bluetrek Tatoo, but it's actually smaller: 41X19 mm. That makes it one of the smallest headsets on the market. The thing has a chrome-like finish and a minimalist design that makes you remember that Nokia BH-800 headset your dog swallowed. It also sports Dual color LED and Bluetooth v 1.2 , low battery alert, call waiting, volume adjustment and number memorization. Yes, it allows you to keep working while you're talking. All right, but it still looks like a piercing and annoying headset. Since when plastic minimalistic stuff like this one leads to "an innovative ear jewel"? What Gucci's name is that?

Ok, you don't need a hook in order to use it. It fits your ear using the Ergobud adjustable ear fitting. The battery lets you brag about your new acquisition for six hours (9 days on standby). Bluetrek Mini will be available in shops from May. If you want it, it will probably take 30 pounds out of your pockets. I wonder if it comes equipped with hidden chips that deliver subliminal messages like: "Tell your sister to buy one too"!? It really looks like one of those implants that try to get to your subconscious.
