World-class bluetooth manufacturer, Jawbone, has just announced a very non-bluetooth device called UP. While it has nothing to do with bluetooth, Jawbone looks to have made an intelligent innovative move into the world of healthy lifestyle gadgets with UP which is a wristband that tracks and encourages your activeness, monitors and improves sleep as well as counts your calorie intake. They’ve also been able to tie in a social aspect by creating “Challenges” where by achieving certain healthy tasks you are rewarded with a Daily Feat Points to show your friends and family that you’re actually getting your butt off the couch and doing something!

I like Jawbone. I’ve owned almost every one of their bluetooth headsets. Now I have another reason to admire them with their latest creative and hilarious video featuring their Jawbone Jambox wireless speakers. Not only does it speak to social media types like myself in so many familiar ways but it seems it’s also a play on the ever infamous Youtube video by teenager Rebecca Black. This time it’s about Wednesday and the Jawbone Jambox and Hasan is a tad cooler than Rebecca in my books. Check it out!

Jawbone is once again, showing off innovation in the bluetooth headset space with the release of the Jawbone ERA Bluetooth Headset. This time, they’ve incorporated motion technology into their new device which allows you to do funky things like shake to pair with a bluetooth device and tap to answer phone calls. It seems that pressing fiddly buttons is fast becoming a thing of the past! I like. And of course, what would a new Jawbone headset release be without a new version of their award-winning noise cancellation technology dubbed NoiseAssassin 3.0?

I love it when technology not only works but looks great. Here’s one excellent example – the Jawbone Prime. I have tested countless bluetooth headsets over the years from manufacturers such as Blueant, Plantronics, Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and many others. Although many were good, none have been able to properly deal with the two biggest gremlins that plague bluetooth headsets: background noise and echo. To date, it is only Jawbone who have done this effectively.

The Aliph New Jawbone Bluetooth headset was unveiled last month, and turned out to be sleeker than the original Jawbone, not to mention 50% smaller at only 10 grams. Considerably more stylish as well, it features NoiseAssassin, a new noise cancellation technology.

Yes, just a few hours later from the photo leaks, Aliph’s new Jawbone is now official. Oh, and although we keep referring to it as the “Jawbone 2,” it seems Aliph prefers that we call it the “new Jawbone” instead. The new Jawbone is measured to be 50% smaller than the original version, so all you folks complaining about the Jawbone being cumbersome could take a second look at the new Aliph flagship product.

Last month, we caught wind of an FCC leak of the Aliph Jawbone 2 Bluetooth headset. Yep, it IS the follow up to the popular Jawbone Bluetooth headset, except it’s a lot slimmer and reportedly improves upon the first version’s charge connector. The Jawbone Bluetooth headset, by the bye, is lauded for its ability to cancel noise even in moderately noisy areas so you can enjoy talking on the phone outdoors, sans all the frustration that normally comes along with it.

Hmmm. Just realised that perhaps we might have had the unexpected pleasure of a visit from an Engadgeterian?
Could the same Chris Zeigler who wrote a gadget review recently on our over-priced LCD monitors (just haven’t updated pricing in that area) be the same who has lately given us some insight on the new Aliph Jawbone 2 on Engadget?

Regardless which CZ it is, thanks for showing us the new smaller Aliph Jawbone 2 with improved charge connector. Our Australian supplier has been promising the Jawbone for weeks, but I now feel they’ll hold off till they can get their hands on Jawbone 2.

Will keep you posted.

If you’ve been observant, you may have noticed that three different coloured Jawbone bluetooth headsets have magically appeared in our online catalogue. This normally signifies that a gadget is not too far away – in the case of the Aliph Jawbone, it could be only a couple of weeks. At last!! Our supplier has notified us by early to mid-April…

Order your Aliph Jawbone at Mr.Gadget Australia!

Wow if this video is for real, the Jawbone Bluetooth Headset is definitely in my top 5 “must-acquire-gadgets” for 2008. According to all the accolades it’s received, I think it is…

In my time as Mr.Gadget I’ve have tested approximately 30 bluetooth headsets and none have had the level of noise-cancellation that this video suggests the Jawbone has.

Landing in Australia in a couple of weeks so we’ll be able to judge for ourselves.
