Legit Reviews has posted their foneGEAR Mini Blu review for your reading pleasure. This inexpensive Bluetooth headset features an in-the-ear design plus optional earhook, although the reviewer found it almost impossible to get a comfortable fit without the earhook. As for performance, the foneGEAR Mini Blu had issues with noisy environments, and the lack of noise canceling technology was evident. Also, the reviewer could get no more than arm’s length away before hearing static. On the upside, battery life was a bit better than the advertised 4 hours of talk time.

Mobile Tech Review takes one of the smaller Bluetooth headsets out there through its paces in their Gennum nX6000 review. The nx6000 features Bluetooth 2.0 and an in-the-ear design with an optional ear-hook. Although not quite as good as some other headsets, the audio quality on the Gennum nX6000 was good. Battery life was good at over 5 hours talk and 2.5 days standby.

It seems that Parrot will be releasing a Bluetooth enabled boombox later this year. The accurately dubbed Parrot Boombox will stream music wirelessly from your cell phone or Bluetooth enabled MP3 player. At 12 pounds and 60W this thing should pack a little bit of a punch, as it should if you are spending close to $300. The Parrot Boombox should be available second quarter.

The MoGo Dapter is the perfect Bluetooth dongle for people on the go. Supposedly the smallest Bluetooth adapter in the world, the MoGo adapter is about the size of your fingernail. Perfect for laptops that don’t have Bluetooth built in. It will support up to 7 devices and Bluetooth 2.0. Look for the MoGo Dapter later this year for around $49.99.

Want to turn your iPod into a makeshift iPhone? Check out the MyBlu from Mavizen. When connected to your iPod (and phone via bluetooth), the MyBlu will display incoming calls on the screen. A built-in microphone on the dongle allows you to receive calls, and even gives you FM tuner capabilities.

The MyBlu will run around $77 U.S., but it appears it will only be available overseas for now. Here’s hoping…
