BLUECASTING!
This is a trial run from a company in London. AWESOME idea here.
The advertisement is called "Bluecasting."
A billboard advertises via Class 1 BT transmittors. It won't BlueJack, but it asks permission and then transmits the advertisement to the phone. Within 2 weeks, it detected 87,000 BT phones. 17% accepted the Bluecast.

Mobile Parental Leases
Moto has decided to add a "lease" to their phones for parents.
Qoute:
"While parents need to adapt to the emerging youth culture surrounding mobile phones, adults are right to be concerned about what their kids are listening to, watching and reading, he said."
Nice to know that parents would be able to take an interest in their kids. However, don't you think this could be absed somehow? Just a thought.

http://www.mobilewhack.com/reviews/icombi_ah10_headset_for_ipods.html
Only thing I am not sure of about them....
Bluetooth can only be linked with one device at a time. Thus is has security feature so not just anyone can pick it up. The headset, however, is being advertised that you can go from music to phone while on the go: "The iCombi AH10 presents music lovers, including iPod users, around the world with a stylish and wireless way of listening to music on the move while never missing another call."
This false advertising or just a mistake and they meant you can switch back and forth....I'll see what I can find out.
