Author: Irina Turina Source: Pocket Lint Translation by: Oleg Kononosov

There has been much speculation on Nokia's next announcement that is supposedly taking place on August 29. Now it is official, as the company has already sent invitations to this event, which is set to be held in London at the Ministry of Sound nightclub. However, there is no word on announcements coming on August 29 - the company only offers members of press to attend this launch event, witness Nokia's latest and greatest solutions and "the next stage of the evolution of the internet and mobility".

But the rumor has it that on August 29 we will see a bunch of new smartphones - N95 8Gb edition, N81 and N82, Nokia 5200/5300 XpressMusic feature phones in black and the company's very own new online service that will allow to buy and upload music content. Supposedly, Nokia's music library will feature over a million tracks. Again, no official statement is available as of today - undoubtedly they will be raining down on August 29.

Author: Irina Turina Translation by: Oleg Kononosov

BlueAnt Wireless has finally released its Bluetooth-headset - the Z9, which is already the talk of the town for its 'Innovative design' award at CES 2007 . The headset comes with dual microphones, DSP-processor and Voice Isolation patented technology, which separates voice signal from all background noises and ambient chatter. Moreover, you can switch between two different models: Voice Isolation Standard for normal environments and Voice Isolation Max for voice-unfriendly surroundings. The On-the-Fly technology allows you to swap between several devices (up to 3).

As the manufacturer claims, the Z9 is the skinniest headset available - weighing in at only 10 grams and measuring a diminutive 38 mm tall, it can also be clipped onto your clothes, when not in use. The BlueAnt Z9 provides up to 5,5 hours talk time and up to 200 hours standby time. Recommended retail price - 99,95 USD.
