LG HiFi cellphone transforms from handset to headphones

via DVICE by CharlieWhite on 7/31/09

LG announced its Design the Future competition winners, and among them was this Hi-Fi cellphone that doubles as a pair of headphones. Folded up, it's said to fit into a slot in a laptop, or maybe even your pocket. Unfolded, and it gives you a pair of stereo headphones.

We're wondering where the mic is on those headphones � but we're sure that pesky detail ( and a few others) can be worked out if this design concept ever finds its way to the real world.

This Ring Is Actually a Real Bluetooth Headset

This is Orb, a ring that transforms into a beautiful Bluetooth headset. Looks like sci-fi material, but it's an actual product coming in 2010. Good, because it's probably the first Bluetooth headset that looks great on a woman's ear:

There will be three models of the class 2 Bluetooth Orb: A $130 basic model�coming in January�a $175 Deluxe edition with a minuscule FOLED display, and a limited edition with actual precious gems on it, both coming in April 2010.
