In your ear - "MiniBlue" wireless headset

Motorola's in-ear Bluetooth device

From the Motorola website:

"A barely-there Bluetooth experience, the revolutionary Motorola H5 MiniBlue is designed around the way your body works... Both stylish and innovative, Miniblue is equipped with an in-ear speaker and microphone that picks up your voice through your ear canal. The design greatly reduces ambient noise and enables crystal-clear communications in noisy environments. Weighing only 0.26 ounces and measuring 33 x 41 millimeters in diameter, the H5 Miniblue headset is small enough to ensure a comfortable in-ear fit...

"When multi-tasking is a must, move around the house or office, without stopping a conversation. Up to 30 feet away, the headset syncs seamlessly to your compatible Bluetooth-enabled phone and provides up to approximately 7.5 hours of extended talk time using the included portable charging base...

"The Motorola H5 MiniBlue is expected to be available in the first half of 2006..."
