Plantronics 'Tahiti' and 'Tonga' Bluetooth headsets
posted Mar 10th 2005 4:09PM
Plantronics introduced two new Bluetooth headsets today, a "premium discreet" headset code-named Tahiti (right) and an entry-level model code-named Tonga (left). The Tahiti weighs less than nine grams and uses a AAA battery charger that recharges the headset when it's not in use, giving you a purported 25 hours of talk time. In addition, Plantronics is including four little adapters with the Tahiti that'll also connect to the most popular Bluetooth phones so you'll only need to take one charger with you. The Tonga, on the other hand, has just 9 hours of talk time but is also, presumably, much cheaper. Both headsets will be demoed at CTIA in New Orleans next week, where hopefully they'll have more details on things like price and release dates.
You've got the graphics reversed - the Tahiti's the smaller one, the Tonga's the one with the ear clip. http://www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/common/ctia.jhtml
"the Tahiti's the smaller one"
Has someone notified Uhura about this ?
Undoubtedly, Uhura wears a Bluespoon.
Unless, of course you were not referring to her headset.
I think Kirk would need to be more concerned about THAT...as it would make him rather superfluous...
And thus the geek quotient at Engadet reached both amzing new highs and startling new lows...
I still have quiet chuckle at people who actually wear their Bluetooth headsets in public. They have their place for handsfree in the car but it looks ridiculous when you are in the local Subway store ordering lunch.
Travel to Tahiti and discover a beautiful paradise island with fantastic beaches, sheer waterfall and friendly locals altogether a great place to take a vacation.
the 640 is a much better headset.
