Remember the Nokia HS-20 headset we liked? The reason was that it incorporated a remote control with a microphone and a 3.5mm adaptor into a phone's headset, which allows the use of any headphones, as well as working as a phone headset.
Tekkeon has created something which blows the HS-20 right out of the water.
Think of a headset which has HS-20 functionality - while connected to your mp3 player! That's essentially what myTalker does. To quote from the product literature: "myTalker™, the Bluetooth™ gateway from Tekkeon, turns your iPod or MP3 player into a Bluetooth headset. This tiny accessory uses your own music headphones for your calls, so there’s no need to miss a call, or frantically juggle your headphones and mobile phone. You answer and make calls with a single touch of the gateway. And you have one-touch access to advanced calling features like last number redial, voice dialing, and call waiting."
Unfortunately, you still need to charge it daily (it has a built-in Li-ion battery with a manufacturer-claimed 5-8 hour talktime and 120 hours standby) and the only control you have over the mp3 player is with regard to volume changes.
On the bright side, if you frequently expect to receive calls while listening to music, this makes it oh-so-simple. Of course, if you decide that you want an N91 instead, you get control of the player as well. Choices, choices...
