Talking on the cell phone while driving is in some states a crime. Until now, “hands-free” has never been 100% touch-free. BlueAnt’s S4 Voice-Controlled Speakerphone is the world’s first.

Denmark-based, Davone looked to the sun god Ra in the design of their side-by-side, 8″ coaxial speakers. Reminiscent of iconic glasses, these vintage-inspired units feature a dark-hued, walnut plywood exterior with a high-end, refined sound. Look for them in July 2010.

A Velcro strap attaches to your pack for charging on-the-go. The rubberized covering protects against the inevitable spill. An LED display reveals battery capacity & level-of-charge.

A slick user interface housed within a 4.8″ touch screen coupled with classic looks makes it melt in your hands.
