Hybra Advance Technology Inc. and AbsolutelyNew Inc. have designed the Orb Bluetooth headset that adopts NXT technology to provide high quality bone conduction audio without the discomfort of placing a device inside the ear. The headset transforms from a ring with a simple twist to become a Bluetooth headset capable of hands-free calling. The Orb is also available in a Deluxe edition that features a Flexible Organic Light Emitting Device (FOLED) screen to display caller ID, calendar reminders, and voice-to-text information for communication without taking the ring off the finger. The base model Orb is scheduled to launch in January 2010 for around $129, meanwhile the Deluxe edition is due in April 2010 with a price of $175. The Limited edition designer models are also due in April 2010 with their price based on the value of the gemstones incorporated into the device. [CrunchGear]
