I Don't Need a Bird to Love the Music Cage
Let me start off by saying that this is not a birdcage. Although I wouldn't mind the sound of a little bird tweeting to wake me up in the morning (instead of my annoying alarm clock), this is something way geekier.
Called the Music Cage, this speaker plays your tunes wirelessly over a computer or a Bluetooth connection via your mobile phone.
Blue Tooth Bluetooth Holder: Love It or Leave It?
How very clever. This handmade dandy was made to hold a Bluetooth earpiece, so the seller went very literal and made it in the shape of a blue tooth. Har har.
Bluetooth Headsets: Tacky vs. Trendy
After chatting with a friend on the weekend, who got nailed with a $130 after getting caught chatting on her cell phone (California law requires you to use a hands-free device while driving), I've decided to show some love to the Bluetooth devices. Just like Nadya Suleman, my friend is going to have to invest in a hands-free device. Since she's a bit of a fashionista and doesn't want to use the standard earpiece included with her BlackBerry, I feel like it's my duty to offer up some decent suggestions.
What's More Awkward: Bluetooth or Video Chat?
The trailer for Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen shows Sam moving into a dorm and flirting with a Bluetooth-using Mikaela about the webcam he got so they can "chat like 24/7." It's a cute scene, but I can't help but think about how unnatural both technologies are to use. Many states have adopted hands free laws, which require cell users to use a Bluetooth or hands free device when driving (just ask Tinseltown celebs who stay connected via a headset), but there's no getting around the funny feeling of sticking a device on your ear when trying to connect with someone.
Rich, Famous, and Connected: Celebs Who Go Hands Free
Even though octomom Nadya Suleman was caught not abiding by California's hands free cell phone law — where you must use a hands-free device to talk on your cell phone while driving — there are plenty of Hollywood folk who do rock the Bluetooth earpieces and headsets to be good citizens. The question is, can they make even that look good? You'll have to decide for yourself.

Philips New Tapster Is As Cool As It Sounds
Last week at the Philips event in Portugal, I got to check out innovative new products like the Prestigo remote and like this new device — the Philips Tapster. In the video below you'll get a sneak peek at how it functions, but basically with this Bluetooth stereo headset, you can easily switch between your music and incoming phone calls by using simple gestures. With stellar sound quality, a comfortable feel when on the ear, and crystal clear reception, this is going to be one hot little product when it's released later this year.
Black Crystal Bluetooth Headset: Love It or Leave It?
Am I pleased that we're starting to see gadgets that double as jewelry, like the USB Crystal Bracelet? Very much so. Whether I'd wear them is what I'm uncertain about, and it's not just a style call; I'm a big quality girl, and I just don't know if something ensconced in crystals is going to give me the same sound quality as a well-known and trusted tech brand.
