This Bluetooth headset is smaller than a dime, and small enough to be carried away by an ant. The thing is about 6mm by 5mm by 10mm. Ridica-malous! And could easily get lost in your ear. There’s even a detachable buzzer, for simple communication with your poker card counting buddies, or friends across the room taking multiple choice exams with you. Who’s making this wonder-gadget? Not Samsung or Motorola. A 25-year-old medical student in Russia. Before you shout Scamtastic, let me tell you more and show you the picture of this thing next to an ant.
The headset can link to phones, and audio bluetooth devices. The earpiece isn’t a direct bluetooth device, though. No, it transfers audio by standard RF to a neckmounted mic, which then retransmits bluetooth to your phone. (Or Bluetooth iPod when it comes out. I swear, it’s coming.) Also has a 3.5mm minijack output, which is just a standard headphone jack.

That’s right, a modder has managed to create a custom phone chip for the PSP, which amazingly enough, “is able to receive incoming calls, and display the current signal strength.â€
Though currently unable to make outgoing calls…PSPhone is also capable of communicating over both CDMA & GSM cellular networks

Weighing a very manageable 5.1-pounds, the HP Compaq nc6400 boasts an Intel Core Duo T2300E (1.66-GHz) CPU, 1GB of DDR-533 RAM, 80GB HDD, and a DVD+/-RW DL drive. Here’s the bottom line:
The HP nc6400 is a great yet simple notebook, offering great performance. This is definitely a tool and not a toy. If you’re looking for a gaming notebook, I would recommend higher graphics interface, perhaps an AMD processor. But if your main need is multitasking and occasional media, this is one of the best notebooks on the market
