HookUp endows iPod with Bluetooth
Lenntek is going against the flow by introducing the HookUp for iPod that actually forces you to carry more gear instead of less. The HookUp is a Bluetooth-enabled device that is plugged into your iPod which then allows you to transmit music wirelessly to your Bluetooth cellphone. Don't worry about incoming calls - the HookUp is smart enough to stop playback. The other item Lenntek gives you to carry around would be a remote control. Could this be a conspiracy theory with backpack manufacturers in order to boost sales of both products? We say ditch the iPod and HookUp combo and get a Bluetooth-enabled music cellphone instead.

You've actually got it wrong. The Hookup has a transmitter which transmits to the REMOTE. You plug your own headphones into the remote, and stow your iPod in your backpack, briefcase, gymbag, whatever. Then this credit card device controls your iPod.

Then, if you get a call on your Bluetooth-enabled telephone, the press of a button pauses your music and your headphones become a wireless headset for your phone call. No more removing your headphones to answer that call. When the call is done, press a button to be returned to your music, right where you left off.

Next time read the press-release a little closer before slamming a product.

"We say ditch the iPod and HookUp combo and get a Bluetooth-enabled music cellphone instead." I'd like to, but I haven't found a cellphone with 30GB to 80GB of storage yet!
