Last year, I blogged about Jabra Stone2<\/a>. Now, it is available in Singapore with the white version. I think it is quite cool to have such a nice design earpiece (if size is not a problem).<\/p>\n

Here is the News Release.<\/p>\n

Award-winning Jabra STONE2 catches \u201ccool white\u201d fever to add more style and aesthetics to performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

At S$198, Best of Innovations CES 2011 headset winner \u2018talks\u2019 for complete hands-free control <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Singapore, 28 June 2011<\/strong> \u2013 White hot on the heels of the much-awaited white iPhone4 in Asia, Jabra<\/a>, a world leader in innovative headset and speakerphone solutions, now introduces the cool blanc <\/em>version of the award-winning Jabra Stone2, the \u201cBest of Innovations<\/a>\u201d Bluetooth headset winner at CES 2011[1]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Building on a revolutionary design, innovative engineering and a unique shape unmatched by any other headset in the worldwide market, Jabra STONE2<\/a> is now available in Singapore[2]<\/sup> — in black leather finish and in elegant, glossy white. Singapore is the first Asia-Pacific market to retail both black and white versions of this fascinating, stylish \u2018stone\u2019, with its curved, flexible headset and round, portable charger.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jonathan Tang, Jabra APAC Managing Director commented, \u201cOur in-market studies in Hong Kong, Singapore, China and Japan show that white colour adds a certain aesthetic appeal to the mobile lifestyle. We\u2019re thrilled to offer the choice of a white Jabra Stone2, in addition to the original black model. Jabra Stone2 is universally\u00a0 compatible and works with any Bluetooth-enabled phone or devices, including iPhone4, iPad and iPad2.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So how is Stone2<\/a> different from the original Jabra Stone? More power for sure in this 7g light and comfortable headset. Stone2 has two hours of battery life in the headset, and a further 8 hours of charging time in its charger, that is, a total of up to 10 hours talk time and up to 15 days standby time, all in the palm of your hand. The headset fit is further enhanced and personalized for different shaped and sized ears with a selection of four \u201ccomfort-tested\u201d and ergo-designed ear gels.<\/p>\n

To adjust for volume, use a fingertip sliding control over the smooth white (or black) surface to activate invisible touch sensors beneath. In between calls, with A2DP technology you can enjoy listening to music streaming wirelessly from your A2DP-enabled phone with greater clarity and at easy, healthy volume levels.<\/p>\n

Voice-Control, just say \u201cAnswer\u201d or \u201cIgnore\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taking the concept of hands-free communication to new levels, with Jabra Stone2\u2019s innovative Voice-Control System, there\u2019s no need to handle the headset to answer or reject a call. Simply use your voice to say \u201cAnswer\u201d or \u201cIgnore\u201d.<\/p>\n

At the same time, with Voice Control you can make outgoing calls simply by the sound of your voice, such as \u201cCall Taxi\u201d or \u201cCall Honey\u201d[3]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Voice Guidance tells you Caller\u2019s Name<\/strong><\/p>\n

To find out who\u2019s calling, there\u2019s no need to pull out your phone to look at the display. Stone2\u2019s Voice Guidance feature discreetly announces the name of the incoming caller into your ear. You can decide whether to take the call or not; simply say \u201canswer\u201d or \u201cignore\u201d. The caller\u2019s name you hear is exactly how you have programmed the caller into your phonebook, for example \u201cMum Cell\u201d or \u201cDavid Tan Work\u201d. If the caller\u2019s number isn\u2019t saved or if your phone does not support PBAP[4]<\/sup> (phonebook access profile), then Voice Guidance reads out the phone number.<\/p>\n

In addition, Voice Guidance provides audio alerts like \u201cConnected\u201d, so no guesswork required\u00a0 whether Stone2 is paired with your mobile device, or \u201cLow Battery\u201d when the headset needs charging. It even \u201ctalks\u201d you through an easy set-up process of pairing Stone2 to your phone or other Bluetooth-enabled multimedia devices. LED indicator lights are on-hand to offer visual cues: you can easily see how much battery charge is left by looking at how three green LEDs light up.<\/p>\n

The Mobile Hands-free Lifestyle: Hear your Messages Read Out to You <\/strong><\/p>\n

A veritable lightweight at 7g and packing in many new features, another remarkable aspect of Jabra Stone2 is the support for voice-enabled apps found at Jabra World of Apps<\/a> portal. Users can choose from top worldwide apps already rigorously tested to work with Jabra\u2019s hands-free devices. Pick the best headset-friendly apps to suit lifestyle needs, including voice-enabled music and entertainment apps and voice-to text apps[5]<\/sup> that help you to:<\/p>\n
