First Contact with the Apple iPhone Bluetooth Headset

I decided to purchase the Apple Bluetooth headset, I received earlier than expected because the timing was between 5 and 7 days, we expected it to next Monday, its availability now and 24 hours.

This is a bluetooth headset that works exclusively with the iPhone, lightweight headset with overly reminiscent of the ugly white headphones of iPods.

The headset it very well presented in the typical minimalist Apple box (style iPod Shuffle) and includes barely own headset, USB cable for iPod connector with a magnet-type connector to charge the headset and a pair of pads and manuals you will not find in the Spanish language except in the warranty.

Its operation is simple as well by simply connecting it to carry the iPhone will be linked and you can start using it, simply turn the little button and go higher.

Apple and could not be less surprised me po immediately asked how I could check the charging device, the iPhone's screen will show the load placed on the headset when charging the headset with a big picture and show us the battery is left with a Pilita beside the bluetooth indicator as a green bar red.

 I can not say that the sound quality is unsurpassed by any means, the appearance of white-style headset becomes latent and the option to listen microphone may seem to a normal quality. The device meets the expectations and works perfectly fine.

Nokia BH-501 Bluetooth Headset

To get away from phones, these past weeks I've been using to test some bluetooth headsets, one of the Nokia BH-501 is the typical blutooth headset to use if you listen to more music is what you do with your mobile phone.

Its main feature the comfort and design "necklace" which is where the headset "falls" back of the head by hooking in the ears that, in turn, is the worst flaw as the microphone is far away and you have to talk VERY safe for you to hear the other side and 2 strengths are its sound quality and the number of computers that can connect.

The volume, the calls and the pairing with the teams operated from 3 keys on the right ear can be matched up with 10 different computers (PC, Mac, mobile phones or MP3 players) that support the Bluetooth specification 1.2 with profiles HFP, HSP and A2DP

An interesting, when you use some of the new Nokia uses an "encrypted link security, weighing only 68 grams and the battery is AWESOME ... in a week using it enough if only to listen to music so I had to reload only a while.

They have a "folder mode" to save space, here is a picture of the Nokia BH-501 closed and to understand the real size, here you have compared the Nokia BH-501 vs.. Nokia BH-801

Overview of Bluetooth Sony Ericsson Phones

Even you are not technically savvy or you do not have the latest mobile phone, you probably have heard of Bluetooth – the wireless connectivity technology. Sony Ericsson phones (then just Ericsson) were the pioneers of Bluetooth technology but today, practically all cell phone manufacturers have obtained a license to use it.

What exactly is Bluetooth and how does this technology revolutionized Sony Ericsson phones and the rest of mobile phones? Quite simply, Sony Ericsson phones that are Blue-tooth enabled can transfer electronic information without using any wires. Obviously, this wireless setup has welcome benefits, foremost of which is convenience. You can connect
Bluetooth Sony Ericsson phones with another Bluetooth device without inserting and arranging cables.

Bluetooth Sony Ericsson phones, just like other Bluetooth devices, work through radio waves within a short-range, typically up to about a distance of 30 feet. The range of waves produce a small network area called a Personal Area Network or PAN. Within this network, Bluetooth Sony Ericsson phones or other Bluetooth mobile phones, laptops, PCs, PDAs, printers and other Bluetooth devices will be able to connect with one another.

While there are other connectivity technologies available such as Infrared, Sony Ericsson phones succeeded with the Bluetooth technology because unlike Infrared, you can point your phone in any direction and the signal transmissions will still work.

Some popular Bluetooth devices that you can use with your Sony Ericsson phones are a hands-free kit that comes with an earpiece and microphone and also a Bluetooth headset that you can use when you are driving so you can still talk on the phone while keeping both hands on the wheel.

The latest Bluetooth Sony Ericsson phones, such as the K800, can be used as PC remote controls because they have what is called an HID profile integrated into them so you can connect the phone to a PC and then use your phone to press keys or as a mouse. Once you have paired your Bluetooth Sony Ericsson phone with your PC, go to the Menu Folder then the Entertainment section then click Remote Control and select the profile you want to use.

Those with the newest Bluetooth Sony Ericsson phones can try the remote control feature to control the volume of music or the play list during a party or for video nights and video presentations.

In selecting Bluetooth Sony Ericsson phones, you may want to know that the following models are affected by a Bluetooth service flaw: SE K600i, SE V600i, SE W800i and SE T68i. While Sony Ericsson says that damage would be minimal but concerned users can prevent illegal access to their phones by turning the “discovery mode” off in the phone’s Bluetooth setting and basically, disabling the service.

Technical Information about Bluetooth

What you are about to read isn’t exactly what you would expect from something entitled Technical Information about Bluetooth. There will be information regarding Bluetooth technology, but not solely technical information regarding it, nor “highly” technical information regarding it.

Bluetooth technology is basically the now standard when talking about wireless connections. Technical information would indicate that it utilizes a low power radio frequency in doing so. Bluetooth is now the buzzword when wireless connections are concerned.

Through Bluetooth technology, Bluetooth equipped Digital Cameras could easily transfer pictures wirelessly, to other Bluetooth enabled devices, like personal computers, regardless if these are laptops or desktop computer systems. Bluetooth equipped printers could easily print wirelessly, utilizing Bluetooth technology, ultimately negating the need for wires for such printers to successfully operate.

These examples not only illustrate the wireless nature of Bluetooth technology, but its universal capacity to deal with various Bluetooth connections, regardless of the device class the technology is built into.

Universal and wireless. That is Bluetooth. Here is a short rundown of certain technical information about Bluetooth.

The short range, low power radio frequency used by Bluetooth technology, is, established by international agreements, a frequency dedicated for Scientific, Industrial and Medical Devices. Bluetooth technology operates on an unlicensed 2.45 gigahertz frequency, which is in truth something between the 2.402 gigahertz to the 2.480 gigahertz frequency band. Wireless connections with Bluetooth technology is established through the generation of a Personal Area Network, or PAN, and features various security protocols, as well as connectivity data streams, and other technical information.

The Bluetooth name comes from a poetic source, as well as the Bluetooth logo which the technology has become associated with.

King Harald Bluetooth of Denmark and Norway is where the technology takes its name from. King Harald Bluetooth reigned during the late tenth century, and his most notable achievement as King is that he had united the many warring tribes in Denmark, symbolizing the universal connectivity capacity of Bluetooth technology. The modern Latin H and the letter B which basically combines the Bluetooth logo, hails from the Nordic runes Berkanan and Haglaz, defining the bind rune.

Among the more popular of Bluetooth enabled devices are Bluetooth headsets for mobile phones and Bluetooth Adapters, or Bluetooth Dongles.

Bluetooth headsets for mobile phones are basically wireless versions of mobile phones’ Hands Free Kits, truly making the “free” in Hands Free Kits come to life by simply being wireless. Bluetooth Adapters, or Bluetooth Dongles are USB devices which give computers access to Bluetooth technology. They are add-on hardware devices which make non-Bluetooth integrated computer systems, capable of Bluetooth wireless connections.

So there you have it. The “technical information” regarding Bluetooth technology.

The Elements of the Physical Layer of Bluetooth

The physical layer of Bluetooth has several elements starting with the radio frequency. Bluetooth operates in a 2400 - 2483.5 MHz bandwidth, which is the open ISM band (ISM stands for (Industrial, Scientific and Medical). This bandwidth allows it to maximize compatibility of communication worldwide and in fact, the global usage of the ISM spectrum is the key reason why the designers of Bluetooth chose it.

Modulation is another element of the Bluetooth physical layer, which employs “Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying” or GFSK. The index of modulation index is restricted to 0.28 to 0.35, which corresponds to a maximum deviation in frequency of 140 kHz to 175 kHz.

The Bluetooth physical layer also consists of the use of a technique known as Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum or FHSS, which enables a Bluetooth device to hop from one radio frequency onto another at an incredible speed of up to 1600 hops per second. Bluetooth uses 79 different channels. It is through Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum that multiple Bluetooth devices do not interfere with each other’s transmissions.

Transmission Power is another aspect of the physical layer of Bluetooth and there are three classes that the technology supports: Class 3 with a 1 milliwatt power and a typical 10 meter range; Class 2 with a 2.5 milliwatt power and a typical 20 meter range and Class 1 with 100 milliwatt power and a 100 meter typical range. In actuality, almost all types of Bluetooth devices support just one of the power classes, Class 3, which is the lowest.

The physical layer is also made up of the link data rate also with the maximum rate supported being 723.2 kb per second and speech coding, which ensures that the quality of speech is acceptable.

These elements come together to make Bluetooth technology work. During any typical Bluetooth operation, two or more devices share a radio channel that is in-sync to one clock and FHSS pattern. One device, the master, serves as the reference point of the synchronization and the rest of the devices in the group are referred to as slaves. This synchronized setup is known as a “piconet”, which is the fundamental mode of communication of Bluetooth technology.

The physical channel of Bluetooth has subdivisions consisting of slots or units of time. Transmission of data happens between devices in the packets that are placed in these time units/slots. The frequency hopping pattern occurs in between the packet’s sending and receiving of data. Each slave is physically linked to the master device but there are no physical links between slaves.

For in-depth study of Bluetooth technology, you can refer to the Bluetooth official website or to other websites dedicated to wireless technologies. There are many online tutorials that you can download to learn more about how this amazing technology works.

Information on Bluetooth Specifications

The wireless technology, better known as Bluetooth, has been around for several years already but for a lot of people it is just another “high-tech” word.

In spite of the Bluetooth’s existence, many people still have little to no understanding of this technology and its applications. You can read information on Bluetooth on different magazines and articles or see it in advertisements but one usually has a vague idea about how it really works.

Bluetooth Technology works by transmitting radio waves or signals from an electronic device to another. Usually, the transmission of signals ranges approximately 30 feet or more depending on the Bluetooth specifications. Included in the different Bluetooth specifications of the latest devices is the capability to transmit signals of up to 100 feet.
 
The Bluetooth wireless technology is very much similar to how a computer is connected to other devices using a cable like a monitor, keyboard, mouse and printer or an mp3 player to a headphone.

What is good about using a Bluetooth device is that you no longer have to worry about connecting cables. To have a better understanding of this technology, you should know about the different Bluetooth specifications.

Here are some Bluetooth specifications from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG):

• The channel of Bluetooth devices in a piconet has 1 Mbps total capacity. Information on handshaking and headers use 20 percent of its total capacity.

• Frequencies in different countries:

1. United States and Europe’s frequency is 2,400 to 2,800 MHz with 79 1-MHz RF channels
2. Japan’s frequency is 2,472 to 2,497 MHz with 23 1-MHz RF channels

• Channel jumps randomly between 79 or 23 RF channels for about 1,600 time a second
• Every channel is sectioned in time slots about 625 microseconds in duration 
• The master in a piconet sends signals in seven time slots while its slaves transmits signals in irregular time slots
• A packet’s width can be as much as five time slots and every data can range up to 2,745 bits long
• Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) and Asynchronous Connectionless (ACL) are the two types of data transfer
• Three SCO links that have 64,000 Bps are present in a piconet
• A master can hold up three SCO with one or two slaves
• Slots that are not held in reserve for SCO links can be utilized for ACL links
• A master and a slave can contain one ACL link
• ACL can be either point-to-point meaning master to a slave or transmit to all the slaves
• Slaves in an ACL link can only transmit when the master requests for it

These are the different Bluetooth specifications used in the latest methods of wireless technology. The Bluetooth technology is standardized and for sure it will be around for quite a long time.

Information on How Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Works

Frequency hopping spread spectrum is one of the two basic modulation methods in signal transmission. It works by switching the frequencies repeatedly while transmitting signals often to lessen the efficiency of electronic warfare through telecommunication interference. Frequency hopping spread spectrum is also known as FH- CDMA or frequency hopping code division multiple access.

Frequency hopping spread spectrum has become very common in modulation techniques these days. Basically, this modulation method allows signals to be sent out across a band that is wider than the required information signal bandwidth. The signals that are originally from a narrowband are transmitted to different frequency bands on a wider spectrum. This promotes privacy, lesser narrowband obstruction and improved signal capacity.

In frequency hopping spread spectrum, the transmitter skips between frequencies according to a planned or random algorithm. Transmitter functions in accordance with a receiver that is kept tuned to the same frequency that the transmitter uses. Data is sent on a narrowband and afterwards, the transmitter adjusts to another frequency and will transmit signals again. The receiver can skip frequencies on a specified bandwidth multiple times per second making the frequency hopping spread spectrum need a wider bandwidth to transmit information using a single carrier frequency.

The alternative to frequency hopping spread spectrum works by cutting the data into small parts and the sends them across a frequency. This spread spectrum is called DS-CDMA or direct sequence code division multiple access. Frequency hopping spread spectrum devices are less expensive but the devices that DS-CDMA uses are more reliable. The advantage of frequency hopping spread spectrum depends on the availability of access points along the same area which is not possible with DS-CDMA.

Rules are administered over the use of frequency hopping spread spectrum. For instance, in North America, the ISM (Industrial Scientific Medial) waveband is sectioned into 75 channels with transmission power not greater than 1 watt per channel. This limit ensures that one device will not eat excessive bandwidth or stay too long on one frequency. 

The FCC or Federal Communications Commission has modified its policy to allow the frequency hopping spread spectrum systems in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. This is to permit the use of wider bandwidths to enable the operation of Internet devices at higher speed rates for the development of wireless local are networks and cable modems.
  
The frequency hopping spread spectrum was originally discovered by a movie actress named Hedy Lamarr along with her pianist during World War II. It was discovered by using a piano to manipulate the hopping of frequency and was foreseen as a way to communicate during the war. Frequency hopping spread spectrum was patented under Hedy Lamarr and her pianist although they never made a penny out of it.

Different Bluetooth GPS Accessories

The idea of using your PDA as a GPS or Global Positioning System device is common and in fact, there are numerous GPS accessories available on the market for this purpose.  However, up until recently, these GPS units made use of a CompactFlash card slot or a wired configuration to hook up to the handheld unit. Some attach the PDA through a bulky apparatus. Oftentimes, the GPS unit itself is bulky and adds to the weight of a PDA not to mention ruins its compact and sleek design.

Today, thanks to the wireless technology known as Bluetooth, one can easily transform a PDA into a handheld GPS device that is fully-functional without the need for cables, expansion slots and other unsightly accessories. Set the GPS receiver somewhere with a clear sky view while holding or mounting the PDA for greater screen visibility and quick menu access.

Switching between calls and music is pretty simple done with a press of an easily accessible button. The Sony Ericsson Bluetooth headset adapter is cylindrical in shape with 3 buttons for control and a small LCD for displaying small info like the battery power remaining. The 3.5mm is at the top and charging jack at the bottom. The Sony Ericsson Bluetooth headset adapter also has a clip near the bottom with which you can clip it on to your sleeve or the collar. The design is quite playful and clearly intended to attract younger consumers. Its best for when you’re in the Gym running or riding a bike.

The Sony Ericsson BlueTooth headset adapters do a solid job at handling music and calls wirelessly and positively command the price at which they are listed which is still affordable. Only trouble: even though they give wireless music at a low price they are still one step below wireless headphones which rid you of wires entirely.

The Jabra BT500 Bluetooth Cell Phone Headset: Features and Benefits

Today, in the mobile technology world, thin is in. Motorola started this trend with its Razr V3 phone and mobile device providers took their cue. Jabra launched the Jabra BT500 Bluetooth cell phone headset, which is about thirty percent thinner than the previous model, the Jabra BT250.

This really slim BT500 Headset measures 4x2.4x0.6 inches and weighs only 0.7 ounce. Despite its tiny size, Jabra BT500 Bluetooth cell phone is somewhat expensive at over US 100 dollars.

The grey Jabra BT500 headset sports a utilitarian look. Its angles are sharp and the sides are flat, quite the opposite of the aerodynamic feel of the BT250. On the other side, Jabra BT500 Bluetooth cell phone headset provides good comfort to the ears with its speakers resting right inside your ear and it comes with varying sizes of 4 ear rubber gels.

The headset also has a boom mic that is just short and extendable to just an inch so that the headset does not attract too much attention when you have it on. The Jabra BT500 Bluetooth cell phone headset does not have ear hooks. It is actually just a crescent-shaped piece that you slip on behind the ear. It is very easy to use and you don’t have to worry that the headset will get entangled with your hair.

The Jabra BT500 Bluetooth cell phone headset features various controls. A tiny raised button that is closest to the mic controls the power and call buttons, and above it is another small button used for pairing. The problem with this particular button is it is flat (not raised) so it may be difficult to find and manipulate. Because of this, it is better to pair it with another device when you are not wearing it.

Lastly, the volume controls are just on top of the pairing button but they are also not easy to use. You can quickly pair the Jabra BT500 Bluetooth cell phone headset with another mobile phone like the Sony Ericsson W600i. This pairing produces good reception as well as clarity when you are indoors. However, this may not be the case when you use the Jabra BT500 Bluetooth cell phone headset outdoors.

Similarly, the volume works fine if you are indoors or if there is not so much wind or noise. Some other features of the Jabra BT500 Bluetooth cell phone headset are last-number redialing, USB charging and voice dialing. It also boasts of an eight-hour talk time and a 10-day standby time.

Bluetooth GPS Receiver Review

This is a tiny bluetooth GPS receiver which I bought from Mobile Fun Ltd, I bought this to connect to my O2 XDA 2i PDA and it cost around £40. I was intially looking on google for cheap GPS receivers and this came up as the cheapest. I thought at that price they'll be a catch, and the catch usually being poor performance, but I was pleasantly surprised! This thing really does work, and works well!

After searching for initial reviews on this device I came up with very little other than the reviews from Mobile Fun Ltd, which I was reluctant to trust for fear of them being somewhat biased. I thought for £40 I'll take a chance and so bought it, all credit to Mobile Fun the receiver arrived the very next morning. Upon opening the box I was a little disappointed, all the there was by means of instructions was a small sheet of paper that had been loosely translated from Japanese to English by a dyslexic toddler. You can download the user manual from here and the Tomtom pairing manual from here. After following these instructions you will have it set up in no time. Another thing I noticed was that there is no manufaturer's name or marks anywhere on the device or the packaging, which makes searching for support quite difficult.

A nice touch with this little device is that it is supplied with a battery that is common to a lot of Nokia phones (3.7V 850mAh Li-polymer battery, BL-5C), a quick search on ebay means that you can get replacement batteries for these receivers for about £4 which is good to know should you need one.

What's In The Box?
Bluetooth GPS Receiver x1
12v In Car Adapter (USB) x1
Basic Instructions x1
Battery x1
USB Charging Cable x1

Installation
Provided you follow the limited instructions for pairing with your device, and the Tomtom setup instructions, you should be up and running in less than 5 minutes. I have only charged the receiver once since I bought it about 2 months ago, the battery just seems to last forever! The supplied in car charger and USB cable means that the receiver can be charged on the move from a 12v source and can also be charged from any PC or laptop. From cold start up the receiver aquires a usuable GPS signal exremely quickly, quicker than most of the really expensive GPS receivers that I've come in contact with. The device is extremely small and can easily fit into any space in your car, or even your pocket if you're using it for walking or cycling.

One small problem I did have is that when using it with my XDA 2i the Tomtom software would often freeze and cause me to stop the car, reboot my phone, then carry on my journey. At first I thought this was the result of the XDA losing its connection with the bluetooth receiver and hence confirming my fears about the price of this product. It quickly became apparent that this was not the case and it was in fact an issue with my PDA and the Tomtom software.

I quickly discovered a workaround for this issue between the Tomtom software and my XDA that enables the whole system to work flawlessly. I shall write a 'how to' on this workaround shortly as I'm sure many other XDA 2i users share the same problem.

I do know that there is a known issue when using any bluetooth GPS receivers with the O2 XDA 2 (note not XDA 2i) due to the bluetooth stack settings that are shipped with the phone, please be aware of this before buying this device as you are sure to encounter problems.

Key Features

Bluetooth is Transforming Motorcycles

Bluetooth technology was developed as a way of allowing two pieces of hardware to communicate with each other without needing wires or cables. How is this being applied to motorcycles? We take a look.

When we think about wireless communications, bluetooth is at the very forefront of technological change. The system allows two devices to communicate with each other over relatively small distances of typically a few metres.

Making use of such technology on motorbikes doesn't necessarily seem a very obvious application. At least, not at first sight.

As we delve deeper, it soon becomes clear that bluetooth certainly does have a part to play in helping to make a motorcycle rider's life that bit easier. This role centres on a specific problem that motorbike riders have - the problem of communicating.

If you've ever been on a motorbike, then you'll undoubtedly know that it's a noisy place to be. The engine, the speed and the weather conditions all combine to create a loud roar.

With so much noise, it's pretty much impossible to have a conversation with anyone else on the bike. This is where bluetooth technology leaps to the rescue.

Bluetooth headsets can be used to allow two people to communicate easily. They can block out most of the road noise and adjust the microphone volume automatically to make it easier to talk. Since this is only required over a short distance, they are ideal for the job.

When used in combination with a bluetooth ready mobile phone, they really come into their own. Now it's possible to have a hands free mobile phone conversation from the back of the bike.

You may not have noticed this transformation, but bikers are seeing major changes as a result of technological changes. Next time you see them out on the road, maybe you'll spot the use of these headsets.
