Motorola releasing first bone conduction headset this summer

We've learned from a source close to the project that Motorola is planning on rolling out a bone conduction headset "this summer" based on Nextlink's technology. This totally jibes with recent news that Moto and Nextlink had partnered up -- and furthermore, that the long-overdue Invisio Q7 would be straight up Moto branded by the time it actually hit store shelves -- and sure enough, the photo we've been provided certainly looks like a Q7 in Moto clothing. We don't have anything else solid at this point, but we're told that the headset performs brilliantly in windy conditions, a common complaint for Jawbone owners. Motorola, Nextlink, whomever, we don't really care what this thing is called, we're just happy to hear we'll finally have it out in the next few months.

Same song..diff year...diff company. Hope it's true, but not holding my breath from the results of the few users that received theirs b4 the merger. But I'm hopeful!!!

That's kind of gross looking.

First Boner?

It appears to be the same design (case) as the OEM unit that Nextlink/Invisio was going to release with only that goofy white "M" added.

I sure hope Moto doesn't change the design when it goes into production because I liked the (Invisio) Q7 the way it was. It looked great IMO.
