Jabra has now launched its latest Bluetooth headset, the new Jabra BT2080. With the new StatusDisplay the Bluetooth headset offers, you can check connectivity and battery life with just one glance. Separate, multi-colour lights are used to convey the status of the headset and just one touch of any button results in two clearly labeled lights on the rear telling you everything you need to know.
Weighing just eight grams, the BT2080 combines a sophisticated matt black finish with an attractive silver button to produce a contemporary and stylish headset. With Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, BT2080 users with phones that support this will enjoy simple, secure pairing without the need to enter a PIN code. Other features include auto-pairing to mobile phone, up to 6 hours talk time, up to 8 days standby time, voice dialing and micro USB plus universal car charger.
The Jabra BT2080 will be available from mid June in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, India, Australia and Korea at $39.

BlueAnt has now revealed its new S1 Sun Visor Bluetooth car speakerphone today, which supports multipoint technology that can connect to two mobile phones at the same time. Both users can make calls through the S1, and if either phone rings the call automatically transfers to the speakerphone. The S1 is easy to use, just like its predecessors. Answering a call is as simple as saying the word “Answer”, without the user needing to take their hands off the wheel while driving. If the phone supports voice dial, then the user can make calls using their voice as well.
The S1 also introduces A2DP music streaming, allowing users to play music through the S1’s high performance speaker from any mobile phone that supports the A2DP Bluetooth profile. At a single charge, the S1 car speakerphone provides up to 15 hours of talk time and 800 hours of standby time.

Qualcomm Incorporated, a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless technologies, products and services, today introduced the WCN1312(TM) – a single-chip, high-performance 802.11n-compliant wireless local-area networking (WLAN) solution for handsets and mobile devices. This highly integrated device supports data rates of up to 72 Mbps – significantly higher than previous 802.11a, b, and g Wi-Fi solutions, which makes for a better user experience while downloading data, watching streaming video or surfing the Internet.
The WCN1312 solution offers a high level of integration with a 2.4 GHz 802.11n baseband processor, media-access controller, RF transceiver, transmit power amplifier, low-noise amplifier, transmit switch, power coupler and radio-frequency (RF) bandpass filter all in a small 7×7 mm package. This simplified design eliminates the need for many external RF components, minimizing the component count, which in turn, results in a smaller system footprint.
The new WCN1312 chip uses low-power 65nm CMOS technology and advanced power-management techniques to minimize sleep, standby and active power consumption. It is optimized for performance with Qualcomm’s complete Mobile Station Modem(TM) (MSM(TM)) solutions and supports a variety of mobile operating systems, including Qualcomm’s Brew Mobile Platform(R), Android and Windows Mobile. The WCN1312 chip is the industry’s first mobile handset device to support both 1×1 and 1×2 dual-receive configurations to increase range and data throughput performance when needed. The WCN1312 solution also implements advanced coexistence architecture and algorithms to optimize performance when paired with Qualcomm’s Bluetooth(R) solutions. This is slated for sampling in Q2 2009.
