Apple sneaked in a Bluetooth headset along with its big iPhone announcement today. It looks like a simple black stick of a headset and only has one button on the top. The headset also looks really thin and small, but we can't tell from the picture. We're guessing it'll launch the same time as the iPhone does in June.

I can't figure it out!

Another photo

One "in use" in the ear of the lovely model and a closer side view. http://www.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/01/mwk19wm.jpg The form factor -- a small tube attached to an earbud -- is really no different from a bunch of other headsets out there... Flamingo, Plantronics, Logitech, Sony Ericsson and more than a handful of lesser known brands... But Apple's *is* a sharp, clean, simple design.; Reply to this comment View reply

Apple reinvents Bluetooth headsets

Only one button - the Apple way
by dr.nomolos January 16, 2007 10:05 AM PST: I remember the presenter proudly saying the headset had only one button, unlike those other "confusing" headsets. Clearly Apple fans don't know how to handle more than one button kinda like their mice.; Reply to this comment View reply
