The Sonorix Bluetooth Audio Player (aka the OBH-0100) is billed as the first of its kind in the world. Not only a voice chat headset for your PC, but also a standalone MP3 music player and a mobile phone Bluetooth handsfree unit.

Urban Tapestries – ‘public authoring in the wireless city’. Basically a research project looking at the impact of annotating the world via online and mobile wireless technologies. Eh?
