Gizmodo
Brando's designers, holed up in their top-secret gizmo design bunker, must've been watching The Man From U.N.C.L.E as they dreamed up this Bluetooth device. It's a pendant-style headset, with built-in speaker and microphone, crammed into a pen-shaped stylus. So you can hang it round your neck and use an earpiece, prod at your PDA with it or, most satisfyingly, hold it to your head and gabble into it, making passers-by think you're barking mad a secret agent. It's got Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, a 30-foot range and a USB-charging Li-polymer battery that's good for three hours talk time and 90 hours standby. Sadly it omits a ballpoint function, and an amnesia pill concealed in the cap, but it's available now for just $30. [Brando]

Should have added a ear loop. Then you could wear it behind your ear. Some people could also wear this in their hair.
Cord needs to be longer and include a retracting function.
Nice Man from UNCLE reference.
@N@tedog: Or even longer,made of leather, and branded as the official Bluetooth whip of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.
@Git Em SteveDave: Why not? You can already buy tie-in cereal to get the Official Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Adventure Spoon. It lights up.
It needs a ball point (a GOOD one) and a laser pointer. All that, I'd buy it for certain.
Unfortunately, it won't "Open Channel D."
