			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 21st century hates wires. We have Wi-Fi, we have wireless video game controllers, even wireless external hard drives. Callpod joins in the war against wireless with their Bluetooth device called Drone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6512 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/drrrrrone.jpg" alt="drrrrrone" width="520" height="255" /></p>
<p>Andres from <a href="http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2008/12/callpod-drone-review.php" target="_blank">anything but iPod</a> has a good explanation of the Drone&#8217;s functionality. Normally, Bluetooth adapters are a pain to work with because they need so many drivers to function. The Drone sidesteps all that hassle because it doesn&#8217;t act as a Bluetooth transmitter; instead it acts as a USB sound card.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6514 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/modified-drone1.jpg" alt="modified-drone1" width="520" height="353" /></p>
<p>I must note however, that the Drone you see above has been modified by Andres so that it can swivel 90 degrees to the side. Normally the Drone sticks out of the hub. So holla at him if you want to know how to do the hack. I just call Andres &#8220;Andres&#8221; because I don&#8217;t know how his last name is spelled.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6511 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/drowrowrowne.jpg" alt="drowrowrowne" width="520" height="362" /></p>
<p>Andres swears by the quality of the sound that the Drone delivers, although  Callpod&#8217;s estimate of the Drone&#8217;s 100m (328 ft) working range can&#8217;t really be achieved with all Bluetooth headsets/headphones; you&#8217;d have to buy Callpod&#8217;s own <a href="http://www.callpod.com/products/dragon" target="_blank">dragon headset</a>.</p>
<p>You can get the Drone from <a href="http://www.callpod.com/products/drone" target="_blank">Callpod&#8217;s site</a> for $50. Of course you&#8217;d have to have a Bluetooth headset or headphone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever get your headset wires snagged on your clothes or your bag while you&#8217;re on the move? Here&#8217;s a fun way to keep your cord from getting tangled as you saunter down the street to the sounds of your iPod.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4208 aligncenter" title="jstory_ninja_organizer" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/jstory_ninja_organizer.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="360" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This wouldn&#8217;t be the first time that I&#8217;ve seen a cord wrap for headphone wires, but this little guy is definitely my favorite.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4211 aligncenter" title="jstory_ninja_cable_manager" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/jstory_ninja_cable_manager.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="313" /></p>
<p>There&#8217;s just something about these ninja bunny rabbit dudes that makes me smile every time I look at them.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4209 aligncenter" title="jstory_ninja_cord_manager" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/jstory_ninja_cord_manager.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="347" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">These pint-sized, cable holding guys come to us courtesy of Korea&#8217;s <a href="http://jstory.co.kr">J&#8217;Story</a> (also featured this morning for their <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/09/12/getting-organized-was-never-this-much-fun/">wonderful, whimsical organizer tabs</a>).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4212 aligncenter" title="jstory_ninja_cable_manager3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/jstory_ninja_cable_manager3.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4210 aligncenter" title="jstory_ninja_cord_manager_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/jstory_ninja_cord_manager_2.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="175" /></p>
<p>Unfortunately, these cable manager ninja bunnies are only available in Korea at this point. If you want to get your hands on one, you&#8217;ll have to head on over to Korean retailer <a href="http://dcx.co.kr/item/item_detail.asp?itemcd=000000056503&amp;lcd=02">DCX</a>, and hope you can find a way get them shipped them overseas. In the mean time, you&#8217;ll just have to admire them from afar.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a really, really serious pair of headphones, look no further than this new limited edition model from Audio-Technica. The ATH-A900ti is a special version of the company&#8217;s A900 audiophile headphones in a special titanium finish.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/audio-technica_ath-a900ti.jpg" alt="Audio-Technica ATH-A900ti Titanium Headphones" /></p>
<p>The headphones&#8217; Neodymium drivers offer an astounding 5Hz to 42kHz frequency response range, letting your ears in on the highest highs and lowest lows. Sensitivity is an impressive 103dB, and they can handle up to 2-watts of input power, which could be enough to blow your eardrums into oblivion. The &#8216;phones feature large, comfortable earcups to keep all the good sounds in and the bad sounds out.</p>
<p>Normally, you&#8217;d have to go to Japan if you wanted to get your hands on these, but gadget importer <a href="http://www.audiocubes.com/product_info.php?products_id=2327">Audiocubes</a> has a limited number of these high-end headphones available for pre-order in North America for $499. If that&#8217;s too rich for your budget, you can always pick up the <a href="http://www.audiocubes.com/product/Audio-Technica_ATH-A900_Art_Headphones.html">standard A900 headphones</a> for $179. They offer the same innards, but no fancy titanium case.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my never-ending quest to eliminate all wires, cords and other unsightly appendages from my life, I&#8217;m pleased to hear that Creative has revealed a new set of high-quality wireless headphones, designed to transmit audio using Bluetooth technology.</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><img id="image859" alt="Creative SE2300 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/creative_se2300_headphones.jpg" /></div>
<p><a href="http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=437&#038;subcategory=438&#038;product=15849">Creative&#8217;s SE2300 Bluetooth Wireless Headphones</a> can work from up to 10 meters away from the transmitter. They feature high-fidelity neodymium drivers, with a frequency response range of 20 Hz ~ 20 kHz. The headphones come with a small transmitter which plugs into your media player, laptop or other audio source via a 1.5mm mini stereo plug, but you can also use them to pair directly with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as mobile phones and PDAs. The headphones have a rechargeable battery quoted to run for appx. 6 to 8 hours (YMMV), on a 3 hour charge. If you don&#8217;t want to carry a charger, you can also charge them using a USB port.</p>
<p>The headphones are listed at $129.99 USD on Creative&#8217;s North American website, but just $99.99 USD on their Singapore site, so hopefully the price will come down in the US to match that.</p>
