The Orb Bluetooth headset folds into a ring. The headset will twist into a ring a user can wear on his or her finger when not using the device for making calls or listening to music. The savvy know it as an Orb. While in its ring form, its flexible organic light emitting diode (FOLED) displays caller ID, calendar items and voice-to-text info, and if you want to answer a call, simply take the ring off your finger, twist it into its headset shape, and hang it on your ear for hands-free talking. To activate the headset, you just twist it from a ring into an “S” and stick it in your ear. It receives audio via bone conduction.
There will be three models of the class 2 Bluetooth Orb: A $130 basic model—coming in January—a $175 Deluxe edition with a minuscule FOLED display, and a limited edition with actual precious gems on it both coming in April 2010.
