Digital Messaging Light Switch Cover the First of 2008's WTF Products
Parrot's light switch cover with a built-in speaker to relay the digital message of your choice makes me long for a product banhammer, a hefty blunt instrument with which I can bludgeon pointless gadgets to death, entertaining myself and sustaining plastic splinters in the process. Record your 20-second message and then flip either light switch to play it back. Costing $12.97, the good thing is you get four free screws with it. [WorldStart via OhGizmo!]

Parrot DF7700 MMS Digital Photo Frame Shows Pics from Cellphones
Here's one more way to send photos to a digital photo frame: The Parrot DF7700 thinks it's a cellphone—it even has its own phone number—and you can send it pics in an MMS message from any other cellphone. Its 7-inch frame (a similar 7" Bluetooth-friendly frame is pictured here) is big enough to show you just how bad that camera is in your cellphone, and that's not even saying anything about the situations that might be depicted in such photos sent from afar. Like other Parrot frames, in addition to letting you input photos in the conventional method via memory card, this one is chameleon-like, shipping with a leather frame but letting you swap that out for any of its other optional finishes. Pricing wasn't announced, but the DF770 will be available in the U.S. by the end of this year. [Yahoo]
doorbells
What, is this International Doorbell Week? The techno-doorbell scene continues its explosive growth and innovation, and following those two more-sophisticated MP3 doorbells we showed you earlier this week, this Chinese Recordable Parrot Wireless Doorbell approaches the realm of the absurd. This cheapshit $22 plastic bird is not like those doorbells, such as the ReBell and YourBell, both using your existing doorbell button and letting you plug your MP3s on board, but this one looks a lot better than they do and could be good for a few laughs.

Parrot's known for bluetooth gear, not car audio. That's likely why there's no CD player in this headset, nor is there XM receiver, or tape deck. The faceplate's internals house a bluetooth receiver with A2DP stereo streaming, a USB slot, and space for 300 mp3s, which is probably a GB or two of memory. The system also works as a hands-free set, and can sync your phone's phonebook. Since there's no need for motors or lasers or magnetic tape heads, there's a mini cavern good for stashing stuff like the phone you're streaming audio from. Of course, most modern cars aren't really stereo-swap friendly, and it kills resale to swap out anyhow. I'll stick with a hands-free set that clips onto the visor. [AudioJunkies]

Parrot knows people hate cables, which is why they're releasing a Bluetooth stereo and a set of Bluetooth speakers that'll stream music sent from your phone. The speakers will merely play your music, while the stereo will allow for hands-free calling, FM radio playing and music played off of SD cards. Both will be available in October, with the speakers running you $270 and the stereo $230. [Pocket Lint 2]

Parrot Party Gives You Bluetooth Tunes On Steroids
This Parrot Party wireless speaker system pumps out a veritable wall of sound for such a tiny unit, even though the 21-ounce system is just nine inches long. It quickly pairs up to any A2DP Bluetooth cellphone, MP3 player or PC and cranks out the tunes with reckless abandon. We just listened to this baby and it sounds surprisingly good. More »

USB Parrot LED Lamp, Clock
Is your office like a jungle? How about giving a USB parrot lamp clock a home? I won't lie, it took me looking at this funky device for a good five minutes to figure out how this device looked like a parrot, but I got it now. This device comes from the masterminds at Brando. Anyway, this $10 lamp is powered by USB, has a digital clock, and LED lamp (it's in the beak) and is available in four different colors. More »

Parrot Bluetooth Boombox
Parrot is keeping with the latest trends in portable media with this small Bluetooth-enabled boombox. These 60W speakers can sync up with any Bluetooth audio output, whether it be from a cellphone, iPod, computer, whatever, and play it back via the two speakers and small subwoofer. Don't fear, Bluetoothphobites, this boombox also includes a USB and standard auxiliary input. It should be officially released in the coming weeks for a very hefty $300 or so. More »

Parrot Really Loves Bluetooth: 7-Inch Photo Viewer, Speakers, Boardroom Speakerphone
The many wonders of Bluetooth were on display at the Parrot CES booth. The company showed off for the first time several products that use the wireless technology. The 7-inch Photo Viewer lets you shoot off pictures from your cellphone and onto its screen. Transfer time from the demo RAZR was plenty fast, something around 2-3 seconds. As my fine photography skills show, the viewers are available in several colors. More »

Bluetooth Tunes: Parrot Sound System
If you have a Bluetooth device, the Parrot Sound System can play music from it without all those messy wires. Packing 60 watts apiece, each speaker has an independent volume control keypad and communicates with the other, playing back your music in sweet high fidelity. And, if you don't happen to have a Bluetooth device such as a mobile phone, laptop, PDA, MP3 player or PC, there are analog inputs in the speakers as well. Available in the second quarter of this year, unfortunately the pair of speakers will cost you $435. More »

Live From CES: Parrot Rhythm 'N' Blue
Stopped by Parrot's booth today and couldn't find any birds flying around. I did however spot Parrot's new car stereo head unit called Rhythm 'N' Blue. It's a CD/MP3/FM head unit with Bluetooth integrated for using with your phone. Just pair up your Bluetooth-enabled cellphone and the RNB takes care of all the fun stuff. You can browse through your phone book on the head unit, dial calls from it, or hit the "phone" music button to stream music from your phone to your car stereo, ID3 tags included. There's also an additional remote included so that someone in the backseat can make phone calls. You can also use the microphone included to voicedial people on your phone. Everything worked properly when it paired up with my Sony-Ericsson W800i and music streamed perfectly. Totally awesome. It's available now and is great for someone who's always on the phone in the car.
