SAN FRANCISCO & BOSTON--(Business Wire)--
Newton Peripherals, the leader in integrated mobile peripherals, today
introduced MoGo Talk, the world`s first ultra-thin integrated Bluetooth headset
for notebooks. The MoGo Talk model available today at www.mogostore.com, stores
and charges inside a laptop`s express card slot, and brings consumers the
convenience of always having a charged headset for Skype, VoIP calls and mobile
telephony calls. 

"We looked at all the Bluetooth headsets on the market, from boutique
manufacturers all the way up to Jawbone and Plantronics, and found that even
with their great audio quality and noise suppression, consumers are challenged
to charge and store their Bluetooth headsets," said Stuart Nixdorff, CEO of
Newton Peripherals. "All Bluetooth headsets on the market today are inconvenient
to use; nobody wants to take a call only to find a dead headset; and nobody
wants to carry a pocket full of cables, chargers that accompany a bulky headset.
What good is a headset if it`s not charged or feels uncomfortable in your
pocket?" 

MoGo Talk is designed to be the most comfortable Bluetooth headset on the
market. Most headsets use a combination of an uncomfortable earbud and earloop.
MoGo Talk takes a fresh approach to headset design using neither a traditional
earbud nor earloop; instead, MoGo Talk uses a flexible, thin rubber eartip that
conforms to the ear, creating a seal that blocks out noise and comfortably
secures the MoGo Talk in place. 

This MoGo Talk model is the world`s first headset designed with OEM computer
manufacturers in mind as distribution partners. Manufacturers of notebooks are
now integrating mobile broadband into their notebooks and netbooks and require a
new series of mobile peripherals to support VoIP calls. Dell, Acer, Lenovo and
Hewlett Packard are reshaping their accessory businesses to meet the
requirements of the new mobile professional who demands size, convenience and
quality. 

In a recent PCMag.com review, Jamie Lendino wrote "MoGo Talk's earpiece sounded
surprisingly full, no doubt due to the headset's interesting speaker design.
Voice calls were crisp and clear in both directions." Lendino continued with
"There's no direct competition for the unique MoGo Talk, though there are other
great Bluetooth headsets on the market. The Editors' Choice Plantronics Voyager
Pro and the Aliph Jawbone Prime are at the top of the class, but they're huge in
comparison." 

MoGo Talk follows on Newton Peripherals` tradition of designing the best
wireless peripherals for the mobile lifestyle. This first MoGo Talk model joins
Newton Peripherals` line off ultra-thin peripherals, which also includes the
MoGo Mouse, an award winning 5 mm thin Bluetooth mouse that also stores and
charges inside a laptop. Integrated mobile phone versions of MoGo Talk for
iPhone and BlackBerry and other phones that piggyback on the back of a phone and
can charge with it, are expected to be released by Newton Peripherals in the
coming weeks.
