It's One Step Away From Leaving Your Phone at Home

It's One Step Away From Leaving Your Phone at Home
It's not quite the merger between iPod and cell phone that people hoped for from, say, the ROKR, but still pretty cool: the BluEye, a gadget that a connects Bluetooth receiver, control pad, headphones and (as a special touch) FM radio to any of the 5 most recent iPod models, allowing you to make, receive and ignore phone calls from your iPod.

Here's how it works: the BluEye syncs up with your mobile phone via Bluetooth. When you get a call, it alerts you through your earphones with your ringtonelinks and gives you the option of answering or ignoring the call. If you answer, the hands-free microphone handles all talking duties, while the BluEye pauses the iPod and displays caller ID information on the screen. Missed a call? Scroll through a list of your 9 most recent calls on the iPod, choose a number and BluEye will make the call for you. Again, you don't need to pick up your phone. The only catch: you can't call someone who isn't on that list, which seems like a pretty big flaw for a device as potentially useful as this one. You'd think with a Bluetooth connection, some synchronization between your phone's address book and the iPod address book would be possible...maybe in a future release?
