Here's a nice alternative to looking like an overachieving dork from having a phone headset plastered to your face all day.
The upcoming Orb looks and works like an typical, albeit svelte and stylish, Bluetooth headset when you're making or taking a call. It uses bone conduction to provide clear sound without having to jam the thing deep in your ear canal.
Once it's in idle mode, however, you can twist it into a sleek ring that will alert you when a cal comes in. Spring for the deluxe model, and you also get a flexible display that includes caller ID, so you can decide whether an incoming call is worth twisting the device back to call mode.
Developers Hybra Advance Technology and Absolutely New expect to have it on the market next fall, priced at $129 for the basic model and $175 for deluxe.
