Every time I get in the car and put on my Bluetooth headset I can’t help but feel like a tool. Maybe it’s the fact that I live in Hollywood and everyone tries to look more important than they really are. Fucking Hollywood. Or it could be the fact that someone has yet to come up with a design that doesn’t make you feel (quite literally) like an obnoxious fool. I’m not alone here…otherwise Hybra Advance Technology Inc. and AbsolutelyNew Inc. wouldn’t have come up with the Orb. They are definitely breaking new ground with this one. It’s a ring that unfolds/twists to become of Bluetooth headset. When it’s in ring mode there’s a display around the band that has caller ID functions, text messaging and even meeting reminders. The outer housing is customizable with any precious material. It’s due to hit the streets in January 2010 and will come in a few different models. The standard version will set you back about $129. The Deluxe edition (due in April 2010) will cost ya about $175. There’s also a limited edition complete with gemstones—for the tools out there.
