Interactive finger Ring | Hybratech's Bluetooth Phone Ring

When gadgets no longer inspire women to buy them, the manufacturers usually turn to fashion design instead. It has happened over and over during the last couple of years and it has proved to be a great change for some companies who have managed to increase their sales 10 fold. But, as usual, when you find something cool it is all about what the gadget can really give you and what it has to offer. If it is just the same old in a new casing then it’s pretty much not worth purchasing according to some people.

Hybratech has researched and developed a finger ring that actually works as a bluetooth indicator and earpiece. The sleek design is every woman’s dream and the fact that it truly works and lights up when you have a new message or someone is calling is a sure sign that the future is on its way. And that’s fast.

The ring, called O.R.B., which stands for “Orbital Ring Bluetooth” is a silver, gold or whatever other material they decide to use ring with a small screen on it. The screen will tell you information like who’s calling, your text messages or when you’re up for a meeting. I am sure they can think of more uses for it in the future but the use is just amazing AND stylish.

There’s no question that this new gadget will sure be a safe bet to buy your girlfriend as an accessory for her cell phone such as an iPhone. The cool thing about the ring is that it unfolds into a bluetooth earpiece. And a quite good looking one to.

It will cost $129 for the ordinary model and $175 for the deluxe model. What should also be mentioned is that the ring itself is waterproof. The ring will ship to retailers this month (January) and to find out where you can get yours just go to Hybratech’s own website and you’ll find additional information about the ring as well as where you will be able to get one.

I am simply speechless! My first impression was that this is one of the most stupid gadgets ever, but it’s not is it? It’s bloody brilliant!

My only criticism is to ask why you guys are talking as if this is only a gadget for women? I totally want one for myself!

My intention wasn’t to angle the article too much to the ladies. But it just hit me when I wrote it that it’s soon Valentines and it would be a perfect gift for you dear girlfriend. :)

Thanks Nicole! Really appreciate it. It’s indeed a truly awesome gadget. And what I didn’t put ion the article was that there actually is a male version of it…however it’s just a color change. :)

While a ring would be cool, I think I’d rather have that function on a watch. :)
None the less I still want the ring.

Well, then you should check out this one:

BlueTooth Watch with Caller ID – http://bit.ly/i7CTS

It’s a really nice one and has almost the same features as the O.R.B ring has. I’d go for both and just be bionic for the rest of my life. ;)

The ring design is tacky and bulky for a women BUT I think most women would like the bluetooth ear ring idea better and men would be best suited for ring idea… its a gender neutral product in both cases :)

I think people would rather choose the regular cell than this ring. Nd that because the cell will have so many more features then a ring could ever possibly have. And when you now have a cellphone who needs a ring?

It’s a bluetooth headset not a cellphone. You pair this with a cellphone like you would with any other bluetooth headset. So I’m pretty sure you would have to choose a cellphone regardless.
