, Lenntek is taking a different route. Using the apparent philosophy that people actually want to carry more gear instead of less gear, it has introduced HookUp for iPod.</p>
<p>We’re guessing this Bluetooth device is for those with musicphone envy. HookUp is a Bluetooth tail for your iPod that lets you stream your music to your Bluetooth enabled phone. It automagically stops playback on an incoming call (just like a musicphone!). In addition, it comes with a wireless remote, so you have yet another thing to carry around. That makes a total of three devices instead of one (vs. a musicphone). Genius, Lenntek!</p>
<p>We suppose this finally gives any tool who buys one of those wearable gadget jackets something to fill his or her pockets with. Other than that, we really, really don’t get it. Maybe you will though after checking the product out, but you’ll need a web shirpa to navigate Lenntek’s Flashcrapular website.</p>

wow, you got outta bed on the wrong side! I thought you are writing this blog for people other than yourself. Wake up and smell the opportunities.
This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for – blootooth functionality in my favourite music device.
Unlike music phones with their crappy interface, poor sound quality, lousy computer interface and minimal storage, my iPod has it all, excepting blootooth. Now I can use this device, which hopefully will stay hooked onto the iPod (thus I carry only one item, slightly larger than the iPod) and enjoy wireless music.
The remote would be useful too, especially if I implement something like this in the car or at home, the remote would be useful.
Right-on ScooterJP!!
Obviously, ‘tool-less’ man has some hangups about trying new things. Afterall, what do expect from a guy with the last name “Hickey” anyway.
Until a Bluetooth iPod is available or cell phones have better capacity, features, etc. this may be one of the best options for its design focus. I bet Mr. Hickey thinks the photos taken with phone are adequate also.
