One awesome CES gadget you didn't hear about

Submitted by Marc Saltzman on January 13, 2010 – 9:33 am

If you've been following all the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) coverage from the monstrous tech convention in Las Vegas, chances are you've read about 3DTV, wireless tablets, e-book readers and new gizmos for the car.

But there's one cool little product that has garnered quite a buzz following the show — rather than during it.

It's called the O.R.B. Wireless Earpiece Finger Ring, and it's an example of clever convergence that fuses fashion with function — and works with a product you already own.

Here's the skinny on this sleeper hit:

When you're not using your smartphone, the O.R.B. slips onto your finger and resembles a modern-looking ring. But this piece of jewellery has a unique twist: an e-ink display with caller ID. Therefore, using wireless technology, will show you the name and/or number of the person calling you. Therefore, you can decide to answer or not.

The O.R.B. (”Orbital Ring Band”) will also show you text messages and calendar reminders on its diminutive screen that wraps around your finger — and will vibrate to let you know about an incoming call or message.

But as informercial guru Ron Popeil says, “But wait, there's more!”

When a call comes in you want to answer, the ring twists into a funky-looking headset that fits on your ear for hands-free communication. As a wireless headset, the O.R.B. works up to 30 feet away from your phone.

Despite its small size, the O.R.B. utilizes bone-conducting technology, licensed from NXT Sound, to deliver high-quality audio, even though the device isn't inserted deeply into the ear.

Finished talking? Twist it into a ring again and slip it back onto your finger.

The O.R.B. will be available 4th Quarter 2010 for US $129, while a deluxe edition — with a full-colour FOLED (Flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode) screen — will sell for about US $175.

Services

You hear it all the time from famous entrepreneurs: long before they were running multimillion-dollar companies, they were flexing their entrepreneurial skills by selling lemonade on the corner, building gadgets in their garage, or hosting weekly college beer-pong tournaments. It seems that behind every successful mogul is a kid who grew up knowing they were born for business.

But what exactly is it that sets entrepreneurs apart from the rest? What is it that makes certain people believe in themselves enough to take the prospect of failure head-on and have the determination to come out on top? It takes a special kind of person to set an idea in motion, riding the highs and lows from humble beginnings to ultimate success.

The entrepreneurial spirit is a gift that inspires others to become the best they can be. From passion and positivity to leadership and ambition, here are the entrepreneurs that best define the entrepreneurial spirit.
