Ericsson has announced its first consumer Bluetooth product.

Unveiled at Comdex '99 in Las Vegas this week, Ericsson's Bluetooth Headset is the first hands-free device to incorporate Bluetooth technology, using it to connect the headset to a mobile phone.

A Bluetooth radio chip is built in to the wireless Headset that acts as a connector between it and the phone. Users will be able to answer a ringing phone by pressing a key on the headset, or make a call by pressing a key and using voice recognition to initiate the call.

Weighing 20g, the Headset works up to 10 metres away from the phone. It is compatible with Ericsson T28, T28 World and R320 handsets. Ericsson expects to begin shipping the device in mid-2000.

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
