| Magnetic Induction Technology Headset Reviewed @ MobileBurn |
||
We reported on this technology back in September: http://www.pdatoday.com/comments.php?id=P776_0_1_0_C and MobileBurn has review a unit. Here is a blurb:
For the last couple of years we have seen the gradual increase in popularity of Bluetooth wireless headsets. While Bluetooth headsets are generally improving in terms of Audio quality, they are still affected by interference from other protocols that use the same spectrum - namely Wi-Fi. To counter this, Auracomm has developed a new generation of wireless connectivity utilizing 'near field' magnetic communication rather than conventional radio frequency technology. This creates a communication "bubble" around the user, enabling them to use the wireless technology over distances of up to 2 metres. The "Docker" is Auracomm's first consumer product featuring this new near-field magnetic induction technology, and a wireless headset, similar to typical Bluetooth headsets. While the Docker is generally similar to Bluetooth headsets, there are certain differences that come about as a result of its use of new technology. Since no current phone features the magnetic induction technology, you must connect a docking port ("adapter") to your phone, which will transmit the voice signals between the phone and the headset. It can be connected to any phone with a standard 2.5mm headset jack, such as most models from Samsung and Motorola. The Docker's specs are pretty typical for wireless headsets. It weighs about 22 grams, is about 105mm long, and offers anywhere from 2 to 3 hours of talk time on a full charge. The docker's adapter can run for about 1500 minutes on a typical AA battery and weighs 61 grams. It is about 64mm x 46mm x 21mm in size... http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=548 |
