Football Field Ranged Bluetooth

A new bluetooth headset by Hammacher Schlemmer boasts a range of 328 feet, just over the length of a football field and claims to be the longest ranged bluetooth headset available.   It uses the Bluetooth 2.0 specification and enhanced audio channel technology, which provides three times the transmission speed of older Bluetooth® headsets (up to 2.1 Mb per second), and removes echoes, pops, and clicks, resulting in consistently crystal-clear reception while consuming less power. Its built-in lithium-ion battery provides talk times up to eight hours with a three-hour charge from its included AC charger. It can be paired with two compatible devices at the same time (for Skype calls from your computer) at the touch of a button.

These devices continue to get smaller and more powerful.  I even saw one that can be implanted into your tooth with a simple procedure at the dentist.  It allows you to hear the conversation in your head and speak normally to answer.  How long before these devices are implanted directly into our brains?

Personally, I’ve never really liked the bluetooth headsets.  Not because they don’t work well, but because people tend to look at me funny when they can’t see the device on my ear.  They think I’m some kind of crazy person talking to myself or something.  Not to mention I can never keep up with the darn things and loose them regularly.

If you do like them, this one will run you about $120.00
