We saw the follow up to the Jawbone hit the FCC a few weeks back and it looks like Aliph has just made it official. The new Jawbone is being touted as “the best just got better” and assuming the same, or better sound quality that could be a very accurate statement. It looks like the new Jawbone has been put on a diet, as the new version is 50% smaller than the original and weighs in at just 10 grams. In addition the headset has “military-grade NoiseAssassin technology” which should only improve on the overall voice quality as compared to the original. The headset offers 4 hours of talk time, 8 days on standby and will achieve an 80% charge in 35 minutes with a full charge in just about an hour.
The new Jawbone can be found either online at Jawbone.com or at AT&T and retails for $129.99. It is currently available in black, however they will also have a silver and rose gold model coming shortly. Keep reading to check out a few more pics of the Jawbone in its various colors…

Luxim Corporation has just announced a brand new light source that will see action for street and area lighting. This LIFI Solid-State High-Intensity Light Source is touted to deliver 22,000 lumens with 120 lumens per Watt source efficiency and 30,000 hours life. Apparently, this source will feature a compact, directional beam with excellent color quality that lights up the night, and ought to be looked into as an option by those working in a line where area lighting is a must.
According to LUXIM Chief Executive Officer, Tony McGettigan, “The LIFI-STA-40-01 is our first offering in Street and Area lighting and we are very pleased with the strong interest shown by energy consultants, architects, lighting designers and fixture makers. Across the board we see the lighting community looking to increase efficiency, lower maintenance costs and improve the quality of light delivered. The LIFI-STA-40-01 provides all three benefits to applications like architectural, street, pedestrian area, sports courts, big-box retail and industrial high bay.”
By virtue of being compact, the LIFI Solid-State High-Intensity Light Source is able to be adopted rapidly by being retrofitted onto existing fixtures, further reducing the cost of installing totally new solutions that will require more manpower and definitely cause a bigger deficit in the already strained budget. Since the source is directional, a retrofitted unit is able to deliver higher fixture efficiency, improved light distribution and superior color quality. Luxim claims that the efficiency improvement can even be as high as 70%, although I would take that figure with a grain of salt. Since one can’t do much about old fixtures, new fixtures can be reduced where size is concerned, as designers will be able to utilize cheaper, lighter-weight materials in the process. Some of the controls enabled by the LIFI-STA-40-01 system includes rapid on, rapid restrike, dimmable, daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, demand response dimming and more.

Rumor on the streets is that Blackberry is readying an iphone lookalike with the focus being on having a full touchscreen, which would be a major departure from the traditional full QWERTY keyboarded blackberry we’re all used to seeing.
This may be called the Thunder, and may have EVDO and HSPA capabilities. I guess we’ll see!
That’s not a real image, btw, just a mock-up.
