In a caretaker employment of bluetooth headsets, it’s hard to impart detected nowadays; Jabra, however, knows how to impart its creation to defence discover above the rest. Just the name, the Jabra Stone, is adequacy to invoke anyone’s head.

Add to that a PR near in which media members were dispatched a collection containing invalid but an experience pericarp — a actual pericarp — with Jabra Stone’s website inscribed on it. Clever, right?

It trusty was adequacy to habitus up intrigue; nobody add knew for trusty what the Stone would countenance like, another than a change hirsute leaked pics. But today the due Negro of composition has come, Oct 20, and we effect some authorised pics of the headset to show, as substantially as some gratifying specs.

When the Stone is docked, it rattling does countenance aforementioned an experience pericarp or pebble of some kind. It has a rattling smooth countenance and gaming to it.

Here are some specs:

• 2 modes: digit for vocalise calls and digit for music
• touch-sensitive bomb instead of buttons
• noise cancel
• 2 hours speech time, 12 hours standby
• three earbud sizes

The Jabra Stone module be acquirable at AT&T stores prototypal Nov 8 at a $130 sound tag, which puts it in candid rivalry with the Jawbone Prime, Plantronics Voyager 975, and BlueAnt Q1. Will it defence up to the competition? Only instance module tell.

Tell us — what do you conceive of the Stone from prototypal impressions? I fuck the countenance of it and am blistering to essay digit on.

Microsoft’s Surface has been shipping out to corporate customers for a year now, but we haven’t heard much about the backend setup of the $17,000 table — sure, we know it’s fun when it’s up and running all those custom apps, but what’s it like after the unboxing? Incredibly frustrating, says FD kinesis’s Gordon Miller. Hired to implement a Surface solution for a client, Miller and his team first spent 30 minutes on the phone with MS phone support trying to locate the power socket, and another lengthy period of time poking at an unresponsive touchscreen before realizing that the Surface doesn’t respond to touch out of the box. Yep, you read that right — Microsoft’s $17,000 big-ass touchscreen table requires a keyboard and mouse to set up, something which isn’t noted in any of the marketing or manuals. Ouch. Hopefully that’ll get fixed before this thing ships to consumers in 2011, but in the meantime, hit the read link for the entire harrowing tale — it’s a pretty fun read for a Friday afternoon.

P.S.- We actually talked to Gordon on the phone for a quick minute and he said that Microsoft’s been in touch about the experience — he’s working on an new post about that which we’ll link when it goes up.

Lazarus be praised! The last time we heard about ASUS’ P565 was back in February, when we mourned its sad and supposed demise. Turns out that’s not the case, as we’ve now got a hands-on with the GPS / PDA phone from Polish site ASUSPDA, who claims (at least via machine translation) that it’s been on sale for several months. The plethora of product / unboxing / interface pics look mighty legit, and as for the impressions, the reviewer seems very quite fond of it. Compliments are given for its general performance and design, though he does note the Glide interface isn’t as seamless as you’d expect with a 816MHz processor inside. If you’re interested in finding out for yourself, it looks like you can order the GSM / WCDMA-enabled device from Qbit for around $566.

[Thanks, Jackob]

Toshiba’s Dynabook UX (or NB200, if you prefer) just popped on our radar last week, and already we’re seeing netbook craving individuals in Japan get their paws on ‘em. The 10-inch machine ain’t too different than the other alternatives out there — save for the N280 processor, which will never show its true potential without a GN40 chipset riding shotgun. At any rate, early impressions of the machine have been rather positive, with onlookers digging the design and the chiclet-style keyboard. Personally, we’re a bit bored from afar, but hit the read link to have a look and make a judgment of your own.

It’s not the first. It’s not the fastest. It’s not the lightest, the strongest, the cheapest, or even the best looking electric motorcycle out there. It is, however, one of the very few you can order today and, when it ships next month, ride it (legally) on the highways and byways of all 50 states. Europe, too. Among that very limited group the Zero S electric supermoto (or electrimoto as we’ve taken to calling it) is certainly a standout, completely custom-built around battery and motor, and we were lucky enough to take it for a spin on a hazy, dingy, frequently traffic’d New York City side street — just the sort of conditions a two-wheeled urban warrior/commuter relishes. Read on for our full impressions and a video that will take you along for the ride.

We just tore the packaging off of Acer’s new AspireRevo nettop and dove into its Ion-powered goodness. The computer is in many ways a product of NVIDIA’s designs, since the Ion-powered nettop reference platform has been a part of the Ion ecosystem for a while, and this Revo apple doesn’t fall from the NVIDIA tree. Still, Acer had to go ahead and build the thing, and it’s a pretty great package all-in-all. We’re still in the preliminaries — the HDMI didn’t work out of the gate, but after swapping back and forth a few times with the VGA plug we were in business — and we’re playing with a potentially buggy “engineering sample,” but hopefully we’ll be able to pull together some cohesive impressions on the thing, and play a bit of Spore while we’re at it. It’s already obviously the fastest Atom-powered device we’ve played with, and while it still pretty much chokes on Hulu and that whole “multitasking” concept, we’re pretty pleased so far.

mophie’s Juice Pack Air — better known as the planet’s thinnest iPhone 3G extended battery and case — doesn’t officially go on sale until Tuesday, but we’ve been toying with one over the weekend in order to share with you whether or not it’s a solid buy. We have to say, our early impressions are pretty positive, and if you’re hankering to know more, follow us past the break for a few more details.

If you thought Mitsubishi’s LaserVue HDTVs were the beginning and the end of laser-tech in boob tubes, think again. Mitsu’s line is carrying on, but the brightness and depth of color offered by that telly are apparently just the beginning of what’s possible according to researchers at the Centre of Molecular Materials for Photonics and Electronics at the University of Cambridge. They indicate that the use of liquid crystals in concert with a single, laser-based light source would result in the same color depth but at a lower cost and higher reliability than the LaserVue, which requires separate lasers for RGB. What cost, exactly? That, dear reader, remains to be seen, but given the source we’re thinking you have plenty of time to save up — and to practice those Dr. Evil impressions.
