I have an exclusive privilege to test the all new i.Tech SolarVoice™ 908 Bluetooth headset. It would be a first fully eco-friendly headset from i.Tech Dynamic Ltd. and only second of its kind in the market. But the SolarVoice™ 908 will be the first model retailed in Malaysia by Mobile Concepts (M) Sdn. Bhd. after the Iqua SUN BHS-603 (which available only at online). Here’s the product review on the Bluetooth headset.

i.Tech SolarVoice™ 908 Bluetooth headset spots a large solar panel for direct charging from sunlight that gives you the infinite standby time. Besides that, you can charge it via a travel charging adapter or USB cable on your PC or notebook, which bundled in its sales packaging. It also includes a beautiful solar-charging cradle to hold the headset, which you can placed it on your car dashboard or on a desk.

The i.Tech SolarVoice™ 908 has a bunch of new features for its sleek and stylish design. It would be the first solar-powered Bluetooth headset with noise reduction for clear calls, with the similar noise cancellation feature on its line of Bluetooth headset, namely the i.VoicePRO™ 901 minus the dual microphone technology. SolarVoice™ 908 gives you the freedom to answer or making calls in a noisy environment without having to speak loudly in public.

Aside from the noise reduction, its also featured the multipoint technology, which pairs two mobile phone simultaneously. With the Bluetooth technology keeps on evolving, SolarVoice™ 908 has the latest version of Bluetooth firmware, a Class 2 version 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate. When it paired with a version 2.1+EDR device it removes the needs to key in the security password and it connected instantly after you selected it from the device menu.

On top of it, a mono Bluetooth headset with A2DP profile for streaming multimedia audio or watching a video with audio are made possible on the SolarVoice™ 908. If you’re an Apple iPhone 3G (OS 3.0) or iPhone 3GS user, this Bluetooth headset works perfectly on both of them. Inside the packaging, it bundled with four specially designed ear-buds, comes in the sizes of S, M, L and XL which would fits majority of our ear’s carnal. This specially designed ear-buds are made to eliminates the feeling of deafness after wearing this Bluetooth headset for a long period. It’s very comfortable to wear and the translucent ear-hook makes it look lightweight on the ear.

Conclusion:

The i.Tech SolarVoice™ 908 Bluetooth headset has packed with all the essential features, noise reduction, Bluetooth version 2.1+EDR, multipoint technology, A2DP and the innovative solar-charging panel. Malaysia is a very ideal place to market this model due to its all-year round sunny day. This test unit of SolarVoice™ 908 Bluetooth headset can be use for more than a week on a single charge with occasionally solar-charging and a moderate phone calls. This is really a quality green product from i.Tech Dynamic Ltd.

Keep your distant for all the iPhone user around you. The iPhone may explode anytime. Don’t believe me? Read the rest of the story below.

 

Just recently, another headlines sounded like this, “Yet another exploding iPhone”. This incident happens to a French teenager, when his girlfriend’s iPhone screen suddenly exploded, just a week ago Apple was accused of trying to suppress news of an exploding iPod Touch.

According to the AFP, Marie-Dominique Kolega contacted Apple after her son was hit by a flying piece of Jobsian status symbol. Apparently, the iPhone made a hissing noise before the screen shattered, sending shards through the air. "My son was frightened but he did not lose an eye," Kolega told AFP.

Earlier this month, Liverpudlian Ken Stanborough told The Times of London that after he contacted Apple about his daughter's exploding iPod Touch - which made its own hissing sound before rocketing ten feet in the air - the company said it would refund the price of the device if Stanborough and daughter signed a confidentiality agreement banning them from publicly discussing the incident.

Meanwhile, a recent investigation from the a Seattle TV station found that at least 15 people have complained of fire- and burn-related iPod incidents. This info was culled from an 800-page Consumer Product Safety Commission document, and according to the TV station, Apple lawyers tried to suppress that too.

So, if your iPhone started to make the “hissing” sound, you better leave it and walk away fast. No offence to Apple, I’m sticking to my HTC made device.

The HTC Hero is the first Android phone of the manufacturer to run the personalized Sense interface. It changes the overall appearance of the OS and adds a number of new features. The Hero is also the first Android phone to support Flash and is powered by a Qualcomm 528MHz processor and 288 MB RAM/512 MB ROM. Additional functionality includes a 3.5mm jack, trackball, GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi. It is a quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G handset.

The HTC Hero is to get into the product catalogue of China Unicom and this can happen as soon as at the end of this month. It’s possible that its release is delayed though, due to the extensive testing it has to be subjected to prior to its market launch. The handset is expected to roll out at the hefty price of $820 and will also come in a special red-colour variety, aside from the brown and white versions we already know of.

Too bad I can’t wait for either Palm Pre or the HTC Hero, I bought myself the HTC S740 to replace the ageing Dopod C500.

Palm Pre has finished packing its luggage and is coming to Europe for the holidays. Initially it will be available in the UK, Ireland and Germany through O2, while Spain will get it through the Movistar network.

The press release states the launch date as the definitive "before the holidays", but at least O2 Germany are more specific and claim they'll have the Palm Pre in October. UK, Ireland and Spain can probably expect to receive the same treatment.

The press release also includes info on the pricing - unfortunately, it's that the pricing hasn't been determined yet. Last month rumour had it that the Palm Pre will be available for about 400 euro, and we would bet on that turning out pretty accurate.
