MoGo Talk Headset Fits Into the Back of Your iPhone, BlackBerry

by Tom Samiljan on September 17, 2009 at 08:38 AM



Wireless Bluetooth headsets are such a dilemma -- they're so handy to have in order to keep from Texting While Driving (TWD), yet so difficult to keep in a handy place while you're on the go (they're just so dang small). Until now, at least, thanks to Newton Peripherals, the folks who brought us the wafer-thin MoGo Mouse that stores neatly in your laptop's PC card.

Announced back in June, but finally available starting today, the Mogo Talk for iPhone ($129) is a nifty little Bluetooth headset that snaps into a storage compartment on the back of a black plastic iPhone case. That's right, you won't have to worry about where you stuffed your headset because this one will be attached to the back of your iPhone (3G or 3GS models only). The case includes a built-in USB charger that plugs into your laptop, and the headset itself is a tiny little (5mm, or just under 2-inches) one-piece that fits snugly in your ear thanks to an included earbud fit kit, without any of those annoying hooks typical of many headsets that are such a pain to get around your ear.

The MoGo Talk also offers a PC card adapter that stores and charges the headset in your laptop's PC card slot (it's aimed at Skype and VoIP users).

Also, Newton Peripherals is releasing (some time before the holidays) a back-cover version of the MoGo Talk for the BlackBerry Curve -- in other words, it's not a case but a replacement back-cover for your Curve that has the Talk dock built in. The company plans to offer the Talk for other BlackBerry models as well. [From: Newton Peripherals]
