Bluetooth techonology doesn’t all have to be all about handsfree kits and trinkets for mobile phones. No, indeed something as simple as a household plug can bred with the short range wireless system to produce the Plogg, which is used to monitor the energy consumption of your household appliances and, eventually, even prevent blackouts, but I’ll allow the nice man to explain…

SIG: Mr Handsfree Blue Alert – bluetooth speaker and speed camera avoidance system
I was slightly bombarded with speakerphone hands free kits at the SIG Bluetooth event and, as old and unimaginative as Bluetooth car solutions are, I quite impressed by the Blue Alert from Mr Handsfree.

Kodak releases first ever OLED Wireless Frame
I really don’t like digital photo frames. In fact, as a rule I try never to have them on Tech Digest because I think they’re one of the worst inventions ever and come the revolution, their creator will be the first up against the wall.
