I am going to do my best to get through this article as professional as possible, but sometimes it is very difficult when manufacturers don’t think about the names they give their technology! In any case, Motorola has announced the release of the Endeavor HX1 BT Headset that features, and I quote:
the first headset to combine Motorola’s CrystalTalk(TM) noise cancellation technology with a stealth mode so you can hear and be heard in the fiercest environments. When the stealth mode is activated, true bone conduction technology relays only your voice while knocking out the most extreme noise and wind for a revolutionary premium headset experience. This experience makes Motorola Endeavor the only Bluetooth(1) headset to use true bone conduction technology, all without compromising comfort.
Now Aliph, who makes the Jawbone, has had a slightly different Bone Technology for some time now. But now with Motorola’s new Bone Technology, things are really going to start heating up once again in the Bluetooth Earpiece Market. I expect that the makers of the Jawbone may in fact have a “bone” to pick with Motorola for muscling in on their Bone (Technology). But the difference between the two Bones should be enough so no one else gets a “bone” about this either. Jawbone, the first to market with their Bone, works on vibrations received outside of the face whereas Motorola’s Bone when switched to Stealth Mode, because you always want your Bone to be Stealthy at the same time, works off the bone in the inner ear. So how will the two Bones stack up? We will have to wait as Motorola’s HX1 has not been released yet and is set for sometime in July in Asia. So unfortunately, the Asians will get Boned by Motorola first and we here in North America will have to wait to get Boned at a later date.
You can read the Motorola Press release after the break.
