BlueAnt Wireless was awarded LAPTOP Magazine’s “Best of CTIA Wireless 2008″ with the “Best Cell Phone Accessory” for their ‘V1′ Voice Controlled Bluetooth Headset. These awards are generally given to products that represent the future of wireless technology with cutting edge design.
A Look at the BlueAnt V1
BlueAnt has always provided top-of-the-line products and the BlueAnt V1 is nothing to shake a stick at … it is absolutely the future of Bluetooth headsets. This little headset has “BlueGenie Voice Interface” from Sensory, Inc., that essentially is your “little friend.” You can ask it for assistance and it will guide you to the right command. The ‘V1′ eliminates combinations of button pushes, holds and flashing lights with its SINGLE activation button that provides the user with control of the ‘V1′ through the voice commands.
According to a BlueAnt Wireless press release, the “‘BlueGenie Voice Interface’ uses advanced Voice Recognition and Voice Synthesis technology to allow users to easily control the functions of their headset using their voice interface.” Also included will be dual microphones that will use BlueAnt’s Voice Isolation Technolgy, a revolutionary Digital Signal Processor (DSP) software solution. This technology will extract the user’s voice signal from other sounds and enhance the quality and sound of it. Some may say the BlueAnt V1 an upgrade to the Jawbone and is better looking Jawbone (even though the Jawbone 2 will be released soon!), but this BlueAnt V1 headset really is special with its voice recognition features.

So … When Can We Get One?
We all want to get our hands on this innovative little headset so we can talk to an automated voice rather than talking to ourselves. And you can expect the official release of the BlueAnt V1 within the next couple of weeks. You know Gammoth will be the first to have it … and we’ll make sure that you know about it. Until then, all we can do is imagine what that little voice in our head will sound like ….
