“This BlueAnt Q1 Android application revolutionizes the mobile phone and headset relationship providing seamless integration between both devices,” said Taisen Maddern, Executive Chairman of BlueAnt Wireless. “Now Q1 users will be able to hear text messages received on their Android mobile phone, further enhancing the truly hands-free experience BlueAnt is known for.”

The BlueAnt Q1 Android application includes the following capabilities and benefits:

• Listen to your text messages – When the user receives a text message, the Q1 headset will say, “You have received a text message from 555-1234″ followed by the full text message.
• Help and Support – The BlueAnt Q1 Android application provides a direct connection to BlueAnt’s Customer Service center to help users with any product need.

The BlueAnt Q1 allows users to easily control their headset with simple Voice Commands rather than pressing multiple buttons or even looking at the phone. Unlike other headsets that only support voice dial capabilities through the mobile phone’s voice features, voice control is embedded in the Q1 headset itself. Beyond voice dial capabilities, the Q1 enables the user to control all headset features such as pairing, volume and connection status using only their voice. The Q1 supports such commands as “Redial”, “Call back”, “Answer/ignore call,” and “Check battery.” Users can even ask the Q1, “What can I say?”, and the headset will verbally list all features available on the device. There is also a “Teach me” command that clearly guides the user through all Q1 functions. Saying “Pair me” gets the Q1 to guide the user in pairing with their cell phone.

Other specifications include:

• True multipoint – connect two phones at the same time and answer the one that rings.
• Pairs with up to 8 devices.
• Up to 4 hours talk time and 100 hours standby.
• Dual Microphones and BlueAnt’s Voice Isolation Technology
• Custom internal wind shields reduce wind noise to a whisper.
• Firmware upgradeable via USB on your PC.
• 2 year replacement warranty (excludes ear buds, ear hooks, USB cable and AC adaptor)
