The folks at Joby had a really cool new device at CES last year called the Gorilla Pod which allowed you take pictures by attaching a quick release mechanism that connects to the tripod mount on the bottom of your camera anywhere by attaching the tripods legs to objects in the area and using the timer feature on your camera. I will be posting up a review of the SLR model here soon. Their big thing this year is their new Bluetooth headset called Zivio.
The Joby Zivio is an elegant, high performance Bluetooth Headset featuring an extendable, flexible microphone boom that ensures users can communicate in noisy environments that have been traditionally challenging. By utilizing an ultra-sensitive, retractable microphone the Zivio eliminates background noise, providing users with crystal clear sound quality.
The Zivio features sets of interchangeable earpieces and soft gel caps to provide all-day comfort, as well as an optional ear loop for a custom fit. Its a sleek and lightweight headset, that can be worn on the left or right ear and will be available in a variety of colors.
ZIVIO PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS:
· Talk Time: 10 hours
· Standby Time: 200 hours

They said it will be available Spring of 2008 so we should see it soon it looks like a very interesting device similar to what Star Trek's Communication Specialist Lt. now Capt. Uhura wore.
