The gadgets never been imagined

Nowadays most employees wear an ID card at work and carry a mobile phone. And they use a wireless headset or handsfree when they need to move around and do things while talking on a phone. With Iqua Smart Badge you can do all this using a single device.
"The idea for Smart Badge came up because it was clear that corporate users wanted to cut the amount of equipment they need for wireless communications. And people using glasses have pointed out that they don't like having to put more objects around their ears", says Juha Reima, CEO of Iqua Ltd, "We are introducing the Smart Badge first to corporate users in Europe."
The BHS-608 has a vibration alert and a possibility for 3-way conference calls, and it supports redialing of the last number called and the answering or rejecting incoming calls. With up to 40 hours talk time, long calls are no problem for Smart Badge. And standby time is 600 hours.
Smart Badge supports Bluetooth 1.2 specification, handsfree and headset profiles. It is highly compact: width 100 mm, height 70 mm and thickness 13 mm, and weighs only 45 grams.
The sales package includes Smart Badge with a lithium-polymer battery, a travel charger, mini USB adaptor, a carrying case and user guide. Suggested retail price: 100 euro

mobile + data costs too much
Tell us something we don’t already know! if mobile was cheaper more people would buy it. Importantly it ignores the point - if there is a need for the service / content then there would be a demand.
Young people, trendsetters, and self-employed are big markets for new content and services but some of these are also the biggest penny pinchers. It’s far harder to get youth markets to increase their usage of mobile content (ie spend more) when they are living on borrowed money, part-time income or still at school. Trendsetters and early adopters are more likely to see the benefit of a new service and be prepared to part cold hard cash for it.
At the moment mobile is in a limbo land as 3G needs to be more mainstream (whats the ratio of 3G to 2.5G users?) and service (or content) demand remains low. People are maybe inclined to try so of these new services, but its moving them from high customisers of their phones to demanding more that is the hard step.
