The Motorola HS810 Is the Latest Addition to the Company's Bluetooth
Portfolio


LIBERTYVILLE, Ill., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT -
News) today announced its third generation Bluetooth Wireless headset --
the Motorola HS810, a compact and stylish headset that allows users to
connect wirelessly to Bluetooth® enabled devices within a 10-meter
range. Delivering invisible and reliable connectivity, the new ergonomic
headset weighs less than one ounce (20 grams) and offers a sleek style
with a unique boom microphone, as well as high quality sound.
"The introduction of the Motorola Bluetooth Wireless Headset HS810
demonstrates our commitment to bringing seamless and intuitive Bluetooth
connectivity to market," said Bruce Hawver, vice president and general
manager of companion products for Motorola's Personal Communications
Sector. "Designed to be compact in size, yet rich in technology, the
Motorola Bluetooth Wireless Headset HS810 enhances Motorola's portfolio
of affordable Bluetooth accessories and devices, allowing Bluetooth
wireless technology to be embraced by more tech-savvy mobile consumers."

The new headset features a blue pulsing light to illustrate when users
are on a call and to help limit interruptions. To suit the preference of
all users, the headset can be worn over either ear, while the volume
control button remains easy to locate and adjust in either position. The
headset's improved battery life allows for a talk time of up to five
hours and standby time of up to 100 hours. Additionally, charging is
simple, as this tiny powerhouse uses the same travel and car chargers as
most compatible Motorola phones.

The latest Motorola Bluetooth headset incorporates unique noise-reducing
and maximum-security technologies, allowing users to engage in
conversations at the touch of a button -- without the worry of
interference. And, for the Bluetooth enthusiast, the Motorola Bluetooth
Wireless Headset HS810 stores device pairing information and wirelessly
interacts with up to eight different Bluetooth 1.1 compliant devices,
including handsets, PDA's and computers.

The complete package includes the Motorola Bluetooth Wireless Headset

Forbes.com: Betting On Wi-Fi: "How can investors profit from the Wi-Fi trend? One fairly safe option is Intel (nasdaq: INTC - news - people ). Intel made a $300 million bet in marketing costs alone, on building wireless Internet capabilities into its Centrino chip platform. The firm's Centrino-based products for notebook computers fueled a year-over-year doubling of mobile chip sales in its most recent quarter. Centrino-based chips are expected to account for more than half of mobile semiconductors that Intel ships in the current quarter.

Intel is now betting that integrating Wi-Fi capability into a forthcoming chipset for desktops--which gives them the ability to act as Wi-Fi hotspots--will do the same for the desktop PC business. Shares of Intel trade near their 52-week high and for 29 times estimated 2004 profits. "

Three basic types of hands-free devices are acceptable under the law.
Simplest is an earpiece with clip-on microphone that plugs into the mobile. To answer and end a call requires pressing a button on the wire. Similarly you can use a cordless Bluetooth earpiece if your phone is compatible. "
