Fashionable bluetooth headset: actually possible?
Written by Daniel P Dykes
Let's face facts: most bluetooth headsets make their user look like an utter twat.
But that's something we're likely to have to overcome in the near future as murmurs of the cancer causing properties of mobile phones become more common. Yes, with the pace of technology it's not long until having to hold a phone to your head seems so 2000s, but until someone sits down and designs a bluetooth headset that doesn't leave you looking like a Star Trek cast member that's unlikely to happen. Bluetooth headsets simply haven't been fashionable.
Part ring, part bluetooth headset, the Orb may be the answer.
Part fashion accessory, part mobile phone accessory, the Orb promises to merge form and function into a device that won't have you ostracised. Wearing it as a ring, the OLED screen will show you whose calling. After a simple twist, pop it over your ear to take the call.
Slated for release in 2010, the Orb will sell for US$129.

Traditionalist and futurist are two of the labels applied to Daniel, but he sees the two as being in perfect balance. With a keen eye on the future and his finger on the pulse he helps keep fashionisers everywhere ahead in the fashion stakes as Fashionising.com's lead fashion trend analyst. Believing that the late-2000s credit crisis will be ultimately good for fashion, Daniel sees a future for fashion where grounded in traditional values; where luxury fashion again comes to represent quality production as opposed to being solely label driven.
