Samsung’s 4-inch Windows Phone 7 handset gets named: Cetus (SGH-i917)

You’d probably assume that Samsung would have a difficult time overshadowing the Galaxy S right now, but all it really takes is a salacious Bluetooth SIG entry that leaves only the most important parts to the imagination. We’ve known for some time now that Sammy would be one of Microsoft’s closest Windows Phone 7 launch partners, and we’ve even taken the time to toy with a prototype earlier in the year

AirTurn’s BT-105 footpedal is a real page turner (video)

If you carry your sheet music in a laptop, AirTurn’s got a USB dongle for that, but if you’ve migrated your musical cues to an certain slate, never fear, Bluetooth is on the way. The AirTurn BT-105 will bring the company’s page turning technology to iPad , using a transmitter that attaches to standard professional footswitches, allowing you to turn full pages and half pages of sheet music while keeping hands firmly affixed to your instrument . Though there’s no word on price, we imagine it’ll cost close to the existing 2.4GHz version, which runs from $40 for a dongle to $100 for a package with two Boss pedals, and when it surfaces in Q4 of this year, we’re hoping it will extend bicycling input to all the other wild and crazy apps you dream up.

Android versus iPhone live multiplayer gaming made possible in SGN’s Skies of Glory

Shocking as this might sound, there are no only a few games in which iPhone and Android users can go at each other in live multiplayer mode.

Bluetooth 4.0 specification gets official, devices expected by Q4 2010

Outside of Samsung’s Wave , we’re having a hard time thinking of a meaningful device that has shipped with Bluetooth 3.0 onboard.

Ozmo’s WiFi PAN available Q4, is this the end of Bluetooth’s reign of terror?

Has it really been two years since Intel joined forces with Ozmo Devices ?

Nokia N8 meets Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, has a good time (video)

No, we’re not revealing some great hidden feature here — Nokias have been able to pair with Bluetooth devices since pretty much forever — but throw a complete set of desktop implements together with the Finnish company’s greatest new phone , and sparks of interest do fly. In this case, a pair of keen fellas have hooked a portable keyboard and a Logitech mouse up to the N8 and had some fun videotaping their exploits. If you’re thinking this would make a pretty killer combination with the N8 plugged into an HDTV, well..

Nokia completes its N8 video tour with media player and HDMI demo

You’ve seen parts uno and due already no doubt, so let’s dive straight into the third and final installment of Nokia’s N8 overview. Today we are treated to the Symbian^3 media player, which continues to closely resemble Apple’s Cover Flow , but we’re sure the companies will work it out between themselves

TiVo Slide QWERTY Bluetooth remote appears on the FCC test bench

The TiVo Premiere experienced a rough introduction to the world earlier this year, as its early software revisions exposed some rough edges and performance issues, but we hope that’s not the case for the yet-to-debut TiVo Slide remote .

Acer Liquid E Ferrari Special Edition revs up Android 2.1

Sure, the Acer Liquid E Ferrari Special Edition features the the same underclocked 768MHz Snapdragon and Android 2.1 as the original Liquid E that launched in February, but, well, this one comes with a flashy Ferrari F1 Red paint job and matching Elite Bluetooth earpiece. Can’t say no to that, can you? You know the rest of the drill: 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen, five megapixel camera with autofocus, geotagging, and adjustable ISO, included 8GB microSD card, and the Acer Sync app that syncs changes across your phone and PC.
