Take Calls Where No Headset has gone Before


 Motorola Endeavor HX1

The Motorola Endeavor HX1 will be the first headset to combine Motorola's CrystalTalk noise cancellation technology with a stealth mode so you can hear and be heard in the fiercest environments.

When stealth mode is activated, true bone conduction technology relays only your voice while knocking out the most extreme noise and wind for a revolutionary premium headset experience. This experience makes Motorola Endeavor the only Bluetooth headset to use true bone conduction technology, all without compromising comfort.

The HX1 was created with the same bone conduction technology that special military forces around the world use. Activated with a touch of a button, the stealth mode instantly triggers bone conduction technology. This technology uses an ear sensor to seal off outside noise, rather than relying on an exposed exterior microphone. As you speak, the sensor taps your vocal vibrations and seamlessly converts them to speech so the listener hears your voice and only your voice.Read more

Make Homer Simpson Your Navigational Guide


 TomTom GPS

TomTom has joined forces with Locutio Voice Technologies and Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising (Fox Licensing) to bring the original voice of Homer Simpson to all TomTom devices via download. Starting today, TomTom users can go to www.tomtom.com/simpsons and download the voice for $12.95 or €9.95.

With an insatiable appetite as his motivation, Homer adds his own words of wisdom for TomTom drivers like, "Take the third right. We might find an ice cream truck! Mmm…ice cream." With Homer's unpredictable and comical commands leading the way, drivers are guaranteed an unforgettable journey.

TomTom portable navigation devices guide drivers with audible, turn-by-turn instructions and 3D maps which work right out of the box, with no additional fees or services required. They offer up to 70 preloaded voices in 36 languages, too. Which makes me wonder if I can download Homer's voice in Spanish or German… Either way, I think this is an excellent buy for people planning on taking a long road trip this summer.
