Mogo Talk is a Bluetooth Headset with a Twist

Our friends over at Gizmodo got their hands on a new iPhone Bluetooth headset. Big deal? Well this one has a twist…literally.

Mogo Talk is a folding earpiece that twists to lay completely flat, enabling it to store and charge inside a laptop or on the back of a custom docking station attached to an iPhone or Blackberry. The company says the earpiece is specifically designed to comfortably fit inside your ear and offers around 4 hours of talk time. Gizmodo says:

As for the performance, it's actually surprisingly good. The wife said I sounded as good on this tiny sliver of a headset as I did on larger ones, and I could hear her just fine as well, even though she was at a gas station. One tricky part was to make sure the ear padding is oriented the correct direction. If you flip it around, the headset falls off easily.

The company expects it to start shipping the iPhone version this month with a retail price around $130. Versions for other cell phones are available now.
