The device will be able to record up to 8 minutes of incoming or outgoing calls for you. The device can also be used to record voice memo so if you don’t mind speaking to yourself every once in a while then go ahead and grab it. The VR1’s price matches its capabilities and it can be purchased for just over $100. What do you say?

It looks like Apple is planning to launch a brand new Bluetooth Keyboard coupled with a new Mighty Mouse. We don’t have the specs but the FCC does. Apple’s models A1314 and A1296 will probably replace the current wireless keyboard, the A1255 and the current Mighty Mouse, the A1197. What we know so far is that the future keyboard is going to be even smaller than the current model while the new Mighty Mouse will be even more interesting as it is rumored to be made of aluminum and bring some new multitouch features to iMac owners. Unfortunately we’ll have to wait a while until we see them as Apple made sure only the FCC will have access to pictures of these new peripherals.

It seems that Sony Ericsson is gearing up to have a bit of a keynote of theirselves as the above flyer has recently been posted letting us know that the way we listen to music will change forever on September 21st.

Now, this is a bit of a zealous claim considering Sony Ericsson is continously pumping run-of-the-mill MP3 playing headsets so the same should be expected here. However, we can’t write the handset manufacturer off until the keynote actually rolls around. According to SE, the announcement will have to do with Bluetooth audio quality and ‘free energy’.

Check back around September 21st as we’ll keep you updated.

A number of laptops that have been appearing in the market in the last few months have included Bluetooth by default. To take advantage of this fact, and to make your life just a little bit wire-free, Microsoft recently unveiled the Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000. Featuring the company’s Comfort Curve layout, the number pad is split from the main keyboard making it easy to carry just the keyboard along with you when you travel, for example.

Slated for an October 2009 release, the Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 and Number Pad will retail for US $89.95 and $44.95 respectively, and come with a worldwide 3-year limited warranty. A Bluetooth transceiver is not included as far as we know, because, well, one of the requirements is that your laptop should already have integrated Bluetooth. Two AAA batteries for the keyboard and one AAA battery for the number pad are included.
