Here’s a really pointless but fun DIY for building a bluetooth handgun that will answer your calls at the pull of the trigger.  Great, all that for answering a phone?  Isn’t it a little too much reverse-engineering?

How to turn an airsoft handgun and a bluetooth headset into a fun, fully functional handset for your iPhone. Pull the trigger to receive calls and to, um, end them. Listen through the barrel, and talk into the grip.

I think everyone has made the thumb and forefinger gun-to-the-head sign when someone unpleasant shows up on their caller ID. Eli and I thought it would be fun to make an actual gun handset, and it turned out to be surprisingly straightforward. No glue or powertools were required.

It looks like Nokia might be the first to offer bluetooth “hands-free” mode to those of you using hearing aids.

The Nokia Loopset simply plugs into your hearing aid to allow wireless bluetooth connection to your PDA or cellphone.

Its “Wireless Loopset” is a device designed to hang around the neck that basically turns a t-coil-equipped hearing aid into a Bluetooth headset. In addition to providing the wireless connection, the Loopset includes such features as vibrating alerts and single-button dialing, according to Gearlog, and willl also work with cochlear implants.

I admit to having a very expensive Motorola S7 Stereo bluetooth headset that I never use because I lost the disk for it and there’s no way to download the drivers on Motorola’s site. (Motorola is stupid on the web…)

(Maybe I should give it away, I did pay almost 200 bucks for it. What a useless piece of technology…)

Here’s Opera’s Wireless earphones that doesn’t work on bluetooth but it works on its own radio signals.

By having this simpler setup, people will be able to use it for other devices instead of having to rely on bluetooth technology. (Which sucks for long distance anyways)

Sometimes, simpler is better.
