              via EBay | I Now Know What I Am Going To Get Edd Dumbill For Christmas [Link Source: Engadget]

            • eBay: Post Pokia Bluetooth Star Trek Barbie Handsfree Headset (item 5799681905 end time Aug-26-05 12:05:22 PDT)

              Bluetooth Star Trek Barbie has arrived... You can use me to make and receive calls with Bluetooth 1.1 compatible mobile phones. I have no wires. I work within a 10 meter radius of your phone so you can leave your mobile in your pocket or a bag. You turn me on/off, receive calls, make calls and pair me with other devices by pressing in the small of my back.

              Now this is not to suggest that Edd plays with Barbie Dolls, and I have no idea if he's a Star Trek fan. But come on... Bluetooth Barbie? When Barbie has gone Bluetooth you know Bluetooth has finally arrived... And that alone should be reason enough for this gem to find its way under Edd's tree come Christmas morning.

              My only concern is where do you talk into, wear do you listen, and how exactly do you attach it to your head such that what you talk into and what you listen to matches well with what you talk with and what you listen with.

              I guess thats for Edd to figure out, huh... its going under his Christmas tree, not mine ;)

              Enjoy your (Barbie?) Bluetooth-enabled Day!
