Launch: Jawbone ‘Noise Assassin’

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Popped into the launch event this evening. Thanks to Alex and the team from Aliph for laying on a top night - ‘New Young Pony Club‘ were about to DJ as I made an exit… no reflection of their prowess, but it is a school night :-)

The headset’s about half the size of the well-received original and is available in the UK from today online and from Carphone Warehouse* stores for £79.99. Judging by the number of ‘trendy’ sorts (not me) and life-style brand types there tonight it’s going down well in the styling-stakes as well as for its technical wizardry.

We’ll have a proper review in the next week and may even (hint) have an *ahem* mystery gift to give away. We’ll get our thinking caps on about the how and where. In the meantime here a few snaps and a Qik of the launch presentation. I’m hoping to start a new trend in unboxing images with this post: unboxing on public transport… if you jump over to my Flickr set you can even see where they were taken on the way home!

Jawbone Noise Assassin launch next week

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

The SMS Text News team are off to the Jawbone Noise Assassin launch next week. Expect muchos QIKing and updates. We’ll give the product a go and see how it performs. Me? I’m not a big bluetooth device user, ever since I bought a Sony Ericsson headset to work with my Sony Ericsson T68i and it made me *literally* ill, wearing it.

I have an old Jawbone but I didn’t use it much on the basis that every time I did, the person I was speaking to couldn’t hear me. Not a fault with the product per se, more a fault with the user. I tried pressing it against my cheek (or, er, ‘jaw’) and it just wouldn’t stay there so it picked up next to nothing.

User error, I’m sure. I’ll learn the right way to use it at the launch.
