Imagine yourself by the pool, stretched out on your lounge chair, soaking in the rays. Or in the middle of a great workout on your mountain bike, pounding your way up the trail. Suddenly your cell phone rings. Wouldn't it be great if you didn't have to interrupt your tan or workout to answer it? The Bluetooth RAZRWIRE Oakley Sunglasses, featuring patented Oakley optics with Motorola Bluetooth technology, lets you talk on your phone without having to halt your activities. By combining a wireless headset with premium optics in a cutting-edge integrated design, these sunglasses will keep connected and active--or inactive!--in style.Design Features The RAZRWIRE is the first eyewear to combine patented Oakley optics with Motorola wireless Bluetooth technology. This unique integrated design frees you from cumbersome wires and allows you to quickly answer and place calls without having to reach for your cell phone.At the heart of the RAZRWIRE is a pair of premium Oakley sunglasses featuring ultralightweight, fully adjustable frames and Oakley's patented XYZ Optics with Plutonite lenses for improved impact protection and 100% protection from all UV rays. Oakley's proprietary O-luminum frames are 40% lighter than pure titanium and feature custom, adaptable hinges that offer a snug and secure fit. The semi-rimless design means there's no rim to block your downward view--an important feature for working out. The Bluetooth module, which complements the unmistakable Oakley design, can be easily adjusted to provide you with the most comfortable speaking position, and it can be attached to either the left or right frame. Soft unobtainium components increase your grip the more you perspire, which makes the RAZRWIRE ideal for the most extreme lifestyles. And because the RAZRWIRE is completely wireless, you'll never have to worry about hooking things on your ear or accidentally pulling off a headset with a tangled cord. In other words, unlike conventional headsets that force you to remove your sunglasses to use them, the RAZRWIRE is designed precisely to be used as both high-quality eyewear and a premium headset simultaneously.Widely known as one of the premier manufacturer of optical lenses, Oakley has fitted the RAZRWIRE with its high-definition optics and Plutonite lens material that is engineered to stop every wavelength of ultraviolet radiation, not just the lower energy form known as UVA. While most lenses that offer UV protection provide a thin surface coating that can become scratched, leaving your dilated pupils exposed to UV leaks, the RAZRWIRE has protection that's built right into the lens material. This process blocks 100% of all UVA, UVB, and UVC rays, as well as harmful blue light. And unlike conventional eyewear that bends light rays and distorts vision at the lens periphery, Oakley's XYZ Optics maps the full lens contour to the human eye, ensuring razor-sharp vision at all angles, delivering a virtually distortion-free view throughout all surfaces of the wrapped lens contours.The engineering construction of the lens and frame meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards for impact protection. This standard requires that the lens be hit by a 500-gram metal spike (over a pound of weight) dropped from a height of 51.2 inches (over four feet). To pass the test, no frame parts or lens fragments that could damage the eye may be ejected during impact. What this means to you is that whether your activities take you on dirt trails with your bike or on the mountain trails with your backpack, the RAZRWIRE will keep your eyes protected and safe. And when you don't want the Bluetooth module with you, you can easily remove it and use the RAZRWIRE as stand-alone sunglasses.Calling Features The RAZRWIRE is armed with Motorola's third-generation Bluetooth technology and supports Bluetooth RF protocol 1.1 and 1.2. This means that the headset is compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled cell phones and other Bluetooth devices.You'll need a cellular phone that supports the Bluetooth Hands-free profile or Bluetooth Headset profile. (Consult your phone manual or contact your cellular phone dealer for compatibility.) Once you've connected, you can take the RAZRWIRE anywhere. It works up to 33 feet away from your cell phone, giving you the convenience of hands-free communication without the hassle of wires.The headset's intuitive, easy-to-use controls include two volume buttons and a single, multifunction call button that lets you answer, end, hold, and toggle between calls. An imbedded microphone can be adjusted for your convenience. A ring tone in your ear tells you when a call is coming in, so you can turn off your phone ringer and avoid disturbing others. When a call comes in, just press the multifunction button and begin talking. Charging is easy using the included wall charger or through a USB computer port using an optional cable (sold separately). A quick charge of 1.5 hours provides 80% capacity, and a full charge takes only 2.5 hours. You can also purchase an optional car charger, for recharging on the road, or a World Wall Charger with included adapters to recharge in foreign countries (both items sold separately). Bluetooth Sniff Mode technology increases the battery life of the RAZRWIRE, offering continuous talk time of more than five hours and standby time of up to approximately 100 hours.Vital Statistics The RAZRWIRE module measures 0.75 by 2.1 by 0.4 inches and weighs 0.5 ounces. It is compatible with Bluetooth 1.2 and is backwards-compatible with Bluetooth 1.1 technology. The headset offers approximately four to six hours of talk time and up to 100 hours of standby time. The unit can be charged via the included wall charger or through an optional USB cable or car charger. A quick charge of 1.5 hours provides 80% capacity, and a full charge takes 2.5 hours.This RAZRWIRE features a pewter/black iridum/black design. Other models include platinum/gold/rootbeer and mercury/light gray/mercury designs.

GoPro HD Helmet HERO Camera Review

GoPro HD Helmet HERO Camera
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used this camera a couple of times since receiving it for Christmas. I have used both the strap mount for my vented bicycle helmet as well as the permanent stick on mount for my dual sport motorcycle helmet. In both cases, the mounts work as well as the camera. I still have the previous generation GoPro HERO in standard definition, but not in the wide field of view lens configuration like the current HD version. I like the wide field of view of this HD model. It is great at giving a very good view of both the trail as will as your handlebar movements while riding both my mountain bike or motorcycle. The quality of the video is fantastic. The files do get large, but that is to be expected with the high resolution of this camera. I have been using a 16GB SDHC card and have filed up about half of it on one battery charge. I would recommend a high speed card reader to improve the download times from the card. A 12 min video was nearly a gigabyte. The battery last I think longer than the previous standard definition camera which ran on AAA batteries. I think that I will buy an additional battery someday for long rides with lots of action.
The only reason I have not given it a full 5 stars is the difficulty in reading the small status screen with all the various modes it has. The same issue I have with the standard definition HERO. The icons that tell you if you are in burst, still, timed, or video mode are very small across the top of the display. The numbers to tell you the number of pictures or videos taken are much larger. It is just difficult if you have the camera mounted on top of your helmet and you try and look in the mirror on your bike to see if the camera is on and what mode it is. You have to use the select button on the front to both turn the camera on and select the right mode. The shutter button is on top and is easy to operator even with gloves. It is not difficult to read the display if you are holding the camera in front of you, but much more difficult when mounted on top of your helmet. You can unclip the camera from the mount, but that can be difficult when it is on top of your helmet.
I am looking forward to the expansion port options being available, like the LCD screen to view the videos in the field. I am also thinking of investing in the chest strap mount so I can get different view over the handle bars as will as making it easier to see the small status display. Other than the small icons telling you which mode, this is a very nice camera that takes very high quality action videos. It is very small and light and easy to use when you have it in the right mode. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone wanting action videos of their bicycling, motorcycle, or skiing activities.

A finished Android app that allows your cell phone (Android) act as a viewfinder like the iphone does. I like this camera a lot. Another thing I'd like to see is to be able to view GPS coordinates without specialized software. I recommend this camera to everyone.
