Jabra BT8030 bluetooth headset works as a speaker too

While the kids at the back of buses everywhere may already be aware of the fact that headphones can act as speakers if turned up loud enough, the rest of humanity tends to keep the volume down, and is therefore unawares.

Jabra has latched onto this concept and created the BT8030, which can act as a bluetooth headset when you're on the move, and then switch into a speakerphone mode for Skype at your laptop.

The speaker / headphone combo will also play music over Bluetooth, lasting up to 26 hours in music mode, 32 hours in talk mode, and sitting in standby for up to 25 days. It'll retail for $249.99, although we're not sure when you'll be able to pick one up.

Tiny Subwoofer Rocks The Joint

Anyone with a surround sound system will know how vital a subwoofer is but, the problem for many is that they tend to be quite big and difficult to place unobtrusively in the living room. The term sore thumb applies. Velodyne, experts in all things subwoofer, think its latest tiny woofer is the perfect solution.

Measuring around 9ins [22.9 x 22.9 x 24.4cm], this little box promises an explosive 1200 Watts of dynamic power, or around 600 Watts RMS. Thats enough to shake the foundations. The company describes it best as “room-pounding bass from a room friendly box. Despite its diminutive size though, the privilege of owning something that will not leave an unsightly bulge behind the curtain will cost you around £575. Full specs after the jump.-Martin Lynch

UNI DVD Writer

Those who find difficulty in cracking open a typical tower to replace that aging DVD writer with one that burns in high definition should adore Richard Choi's UNI concept, which exemplifies compartmentalized computing and takes the stress out of upgrading.

Apparently, the "Think" module would act as the core computer and handle the essentials, while a variety of other plug in modules would provide additional outputs (HDMI, DVI, optical audio, USB, etc.), hard drive space, and optical drives. Granted, this could get out of hand for those who get UNI stackin' fever, but we'll certainly pass along kudos to the idea. Click on for one more shot.

Oddly enough, SonyStyle Canada has all the juicy details about this unannounced, significant upgrade to the DSC-T100 -- and its little brother, the DSC-T70 (pictured right).

MSI CROWDS THE RAMP @ CEBIT

We already knew the GX600 would walk the ramp at CeBIT this year, but when they did, quite a lot of new siblings made the trek to Germany as well -- including the GX400. Moving on, we have got the 15.4-inch GX620 and 17-inch GX720, and while the former seems to arrive in a wood, leather or carbon fiber finish, the GX720 reportedly arrives with a black lacquer coat and a built-in subwoofer to

Motorola MOTO Z6c

The Z6c looks and feels a lot like the Motorola MOTO Z6c, Verizon's sliding mobile TV phone. Like the Z6tv, this device is a smooth, rectangular slider, with a nice little plastic bar at the bottom of the screen that lets you slide the body up to reveal the keypad.

The keys are small, but they sport raised rubber guides to prevent mis-dialing. The smallish, 2 inch, 320 by 240 pixel screen is bright, and there's a fleshless 2 mega pixels camera on the back.

The Z6c and Z6tv use different chip sets, which means they have somewhat different features and different phone performance. The Z6c has no mobile TV, and it isn't as good a voice phone as the Z6tv.

The Z6c fell behind our benchmark Motorola E815 in being able to connect calls, and volume wobble in the speaker phone was more noticeable than on the Z6tv.

Ear piece volume was pretty loud, with enough in ear feedback to prevent your having to yell into the phone.

Voice dialing works over wired or Bluetooth headsets, though you have to use an included adapter to plug in standard wired headsets the phone's only port is a micro USB that's also used for charging and syncing.

Talk time, at over 5 hours, is excellent. The phone paired Plantronics 520 headset without a problem.

The Z6c had an uneasy relationship with our Motorola S9 and Plantronics 590 stereo Bluetooth headsets, though. We heard hissing in the former and buzz when playing music in the latter. The handset syncs music with Windows Media Player but doesn't have mass storage drivers for use with other PC or Mac programs.

If you don't use Windows Media Player, you can use a card reader to copy CBR MP3 or WMA (but not VBR MP3 or any AAC files) directly onto a memory card. You store music, photos, and videos on a micro SD card slipped into a slot under the back cover you don't have to remove the battery to get at it, which is nice.

The phone handled a 4GB card but would only read the first 4GB of larger cards. It also played videos in 3GP format 176 by 144 pixel videos appeared blocky but smooth, while 320-by-240-pixel videos were jumpy.

Samsung Blast

The Samsung Blast is a smooth slider with an enhanced keypad that makes testing and IM'ing easier than ever. Use the Blast to get email on your phone.

Half black, half metallic red. Full on texting power.

This unique slim slider with its double tap QWERTY keyboard lets you blast out emails, two way text messaging and chats on the double.

Palm Centro AT&T

While it doesn't do everything the iPhone does, the Centro does do lot of the same stuff for a lot less. Admittedly, it could use a little tweaking here and there, mainly because of the outdated applications Palm bundles with the handset.

But the Centro is also pretty good at messaging in extended use, the Centro's small, gel like QWERTY keys aren't as off putting as they look but it wouldn't want to use either handset for long missives.

The Centro's touch screen requires the stylus, since most of the interface elements are too tiny for your finger. (The iPhone, by contrast, doesn't need a stylus and doesn't include one).

The 2.2 inch, 320 by 320 pixels LCD is sharp and bright, only a few tenths of an inch smaller than a regular Treo.

The glacier white handset it self measures 4.2 by 2.1 by 0.7 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.4 ounces. There's a hardware ringer switch on top (all phones should have them) along with a well placed, well balanced array of hard and soft keys.

Getting around the device is an exercise in simplicity. The cheap quality of the included plastic stylus is a downer but not a deal breaker. Voice calls sound clear and crisp for the most part, though during testing one was choppy enough for a redial.

The small body is easy to hold comfortably for however long your conversation lasts. The Centro sounded clear and powerful when paired with a Plantronics Explorer 370 Bluetooth headset. Its speaker phone was okay, but not quite loud enough for outdoor use. On the plus side, the Centro now has a voice dialing client.

The GSM-based device is quad band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and supports both GPRS and EDGE data protocols. Even though the Sprint version of the Centro supports 3G, the AT&T version doesn't.

And this is where Palm OS rears its ugly, outdated head, as it lacks support for UMTS and HSDPA data networks. (This is the reason the Palm Treo 680, which debuted almost 18 months ago in AT&T and unlocked versions, also lacked 3G support). Unlike the iPhone, the Centro doesn't support Wi-Fi, either. Ouch.

Polk Audio's SurroundBar 360

Remember that soundbar from Polk Audio we spotted last year? We certainly hope you've been saving those pennies if you instantly considered yourself in the market for one, because Polk's mighty proud of it.

Debuting officially at CES, the SurroundBar 360 DVD Theater is a two piece surround sound system that includes a single "multi channel loudspeaker" alongside a separate console that houses a DVD / CD player, SDA (Stereo Dimension Array) signal processing amplifier, AM / FM radio and a host of inputs. '

Course, whether or not you'll really feel immersed by sound is debatable, but at least you can look forward to 1080i DVD up conversion, an HDMI output and a gaping hole (known in this example as $1,199.95) in Sir Wallet.

LG 50PY3D

The TV's glossy black frame incorporates a couple of slick design touches, such as a multifunction display centered along the bottom edge that shows which video input is selected or the channel that's currently tuned. And immediately to the right of the display are a set of stylish, touch sensitive controls that are visible only when in use however, these controls were a magnet for fingerprints.

Integrated side mounted speakers give the set a relatively wide stance for a 50 inch screen. It's similar in width to larger 52 inch LCD, such as the Sharp LC-52D92U and the Samsung LN-T5265F.

With its crescent shaped swivel stand that provides 40 degrees of total travel (20 degrees both left and right), the 50PY3D measures 34.3 by 51.3 by 14.0 inches (HWD) and weighs 117 pounds.

Removing the stand reduces the height and depth to 31.9 inches and 4.3 inches, respectively.

The remote control is similar to those included with most LG HDTV, including the 47LBX.

Its rectangular face has a slight curve that transitions nicely into its beveled sides, and the wedge shaped profile thickens toward the bottom, providing a natural gripping point.

The buttons on this comfortable, well balanced control also have good tactile feedback, but the only back light keys are those located along its top edge. Programming the remote to control other components such as a VCR, DVD player, audio receiver, or set top box requires using the codes provided on an included CD.

The NAV740 ($299.95 list) has a 4.3 inch wide screen, while the NAV730 ($199.95 list) has a 3.5 inch screen. For this review, I'll focus on the NAV740 model, but will highlight some differences with the NAV730.

The hardware platform is similar to many other navigation devices we've reviewed.

It's based on the Samsung S3C2440 400-MHz processor with 64MB of flash memory and 64MB of SDRAM. The software runs on top of Windows CE .NET 5.0.

The receiver is a 20 channels SiRFstarIII with a built in antenna. As with virtually all portable

GPS devices, there's an antenna jack for an external antenna, but with the sensitivity of the SiRFstarIII, you rarely need one.

The NAV740 measures 3.3 by 4.9 by 0.8 inches (HWD) and weighs 7.1 ounces. At about three quarters of an inch thick, it's not the thinnest unit on the market, but it does come close. The 4.3 inch WQVGA display is 480 by 272 pixels. V7 rates the built in 1,600 mAh lithium polymer battery at 3.5 hours in GPS navigation mode.

Both devices come with the standard suction cup windshield mount, as well as a car power adapter. The NAV740 also includes an AC power adapter. Neither unit comes with an adhesive disk to allow dashboard mounting in states where windshield mounted devices might get you a traffic ticket.

Each device features a standby power switch, a reset button, a 3.5mm audio out jack, and a mini USB connector on the right hand side. At the left, you'll find the slot for the SD card as well as a volume up or down switch.

It's nice to have a dedicated volume switch, that founded a hardware volume control is easier, and safer, to use while driving than navigating through menus. Both devices also support dynamic volume adjustment, meaning that you can set them to increase volume automatically based on your driving speed.

Cobra Nav One 5000

The first thing that will strike you when you see the Nav One 5000 is its huge screen. What's most important about the display, however, is its 4:3 format, as opposed to the 16:9 format found on wide screen models.

Those of you who remember your algebra know that calculating the dimensions for a 5 inch screen with a 4:3 format yields a total screen area of 12 square inches. A 4.3 inch screen with a WQVGA resolution measures 3.9 by 2.3 inches, resulting in a surface area of 8.7 square inches.

Thus, a 5 inch display in a 4:3 format has almost 50 percent more screen area than a 4.3 inch screen. This translates into a map that can show 20 percent more of the road ahead and text rendered in large fonts that are easy to read from a distance.

In addition, with a bigger screen, the Nav One 5000's on screen keyboard, configurable in either an alphabetic or QWERTY layout, has larger, easier to hit keys.

Though the Nav One 5000 has a built in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it definitely falls outside of the shirt-pocket GPS category.

It measures a large 5.3 by 4.3 by 1.3 inches and weighs a hefty 9.5 ounces without its mounting bracket. The 5000 slides into a groove on the suction cup equipped bracket.

Because of the size and weight of the 5000, it had to mount it fairly low on my car's windshield where it could rest on the dashboard and not obstruct my view. The arm on the bracket is fairly short as well, so it took a little extra effort to get the suction cup attached.

And although it was easy to slide the device out of its bracket, I found it tricky to remount. In addition, you have to connect all of your cables directly to the Nav One 5000 since there are no pass through connections on the bracket.

The bottom of the device has connections for an external speaker, microphone, power, external GPS antenna, a USB port, and the optional RDS traffic receiver. Unlike the 4500, the 5000 has no buttons adjacent to the screen. Two hardware buttons, one for power and one for the main menu, are on the top of the device.

The menu system has a comfortable feel, and you can choose either the map view or the main menu as your opening screen. New users will appreciate the voice help, enabled by default, which walks you through the steps you need to create or customize a route. It also provides brief descriptions for each menu screen.

The main menu contains icons for Location, Address Book, Interest Points, and Go Home. Smaller icons either return you to the map view or open the Settings configuration menu.
