LG introduces a hybrid-like Bluetooth device - Style-i

LG Electronics has developed a new pen-shaped Bluetooth device, called Style-i. The device is 4.3-inch long and weighs 0.80 oz. Style-i operates like a remote control for Bluetooth enabled mobile phones. It can work with up to three handsets at a time, while they are anywhere, but in users' hands. The device enables users to dial numbers through its blue backlighted keypad or to see the caller ID and the last number dialed on the blue display. Users can hold it just like a traditional cellphone as there is a small speaker at the top and a microphone at the bottom. Moreover, there's a 2.5-millimeter jack to attach a headphone. The device goes with a rechargeable battery, which provides up to 8 hours of use and 200 hours of standby time. Style-i is expected to be launched in April. The exact price is not revealed yet, although it is known that it will be less than $150.
