Motorola Bluetooth speaker coming soon

Local Motorola distributor Lipton Griffin International has announced the Motorola Bluetooth HF 800 Universal Speaker.

The device can be used as an in-vehicle hands-free with visor clip, desktop hands-free and a wearable hands-free with lanyard. It also ships with wristband attachments and a headset adapter.

The Universal Speaker has four hours talk time and a standby time of up to four days. It will retail for R919.

Scientists at the Shannon Dolphin and Wildlife Foundation will install a listening array into the Shannon estuary on the west coast of Ireland to allow visitors to its site to listen to the sounds of dolphins.

SACM reports that the sounds will go live on the Web site in September. The estuary is home to a pod of approximately 50 bottlenose dolphins.

The number of Swedish cellphone subscriptions has surpassed the number of inhabitants in the country, reports AFP.

Subscriptions reached 9.07 million by the end of March in a country that has only 8.98 million residents. The higher number of subscriptions is largely due to the fact that many Swedes have one phone for personal use and one for work.

Sweden has the highest mobile telephony penetration of all the Nordic countries, followed by Norway, Finland and Denmark.
