Tekkeon today announced a Bluetooth v1.2 version of ezTalker mini, its popular cord-free miniature headset. ezTalker mini v1.2 supports new features provided by Bluetooth v1.2, including adaptive frequency hopping, and advanced calling features. Adaptive frequency hopping technology minimizes interference between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radios operating in the same environment. This means that users will notice reduced interference between ezTalker mini v1.2 and a wireless LAN.

With the upgrade to Bluetooth v1.2, ezTalker mini v1.2 supports two new advanced calling features: call waiting, which enables a user to answer an incoming call while connected to a call, then toggle between calls3/4directly from the headset; and call transfer to a mobile phone. The latter feature lets users transfer calls from the headset to the mobile phone, which was limited only to transfer from mobile phone to headset in Bluetooth v1.1. ezTalker mini v1.2 also supports calling features found in the previous version, including call reject, last number redial, mute/unmute, and voice dialing.

For high-quality audio, ezTalker mini is equipped with a chip antenna, and the angle of the speaker precisely directs sound to the ear canal. The headset's uni-directional microphone minimizes background noise by controlling the direction of speech.

This tiny headset weighs less than 14 grams (0.5 ounces) and measures just over two inches in length. The headset is worn over the ear, with or without the unobtrusive earhook, which easily swivels to be worn on either ear.
