Rain blasted urbanites should love this idea. Bluetooth Umbrella is simply an umbrella with a bluetooth enabled handle for handsfree operation with your mobile phone. It also doubles as radio so you can totally go “singing in the rain.” Leave it to designers to make people look kookier than they are. I mean what would you think if you see me walking down the street in the pouring rain talking into my umbrella handle? Yeah. . . DO WANT!

Impressive!
Interesting Idea
ummmmmmmmmm no, the uber geeks may get a woodie over it but for the rest WE DONT NEED MORE TECHNO BULLSHIT.
At least they’ve moved on from the “any-everyday-object + USB” -crap…
Perhaps in the coming year we’ll see a flood of new useless gizmos with BT. Not looking forward to it.
Sure an expensive umbrella and a trouble to keep. But, whats wrong with using an earpiece ?
There is no wrong to use earpiece.
But it is doesnt allow to hear the outer sound such as street or other people.
Up to me I don`t like to get smthg in the ear and use only 50% of my ears 🙂
It is not very suitable
But
so many people so many customs
So you wanted to hear the street / the people and at the same time talking on the phone and at the same time 100% not using something to cover your ear ?
You sure living in a quiet and a very rainy environment 🙂
The earpiece sounds aloud and the ear couldn’t work well to notice the car in traffic. plus, if one carry a laptop while want to pick up the fone, he must use the hand with umbrella, that’s mass.
But….still the umbrella is so hard to keep…..
Yah… provided you are like Mikhail of course, where to get somehting on the ear and use only 50% of your ear is not very suitable.
But nothing wrong with this, people have personal preference =)
Agree with Lim, you just hit the point 😀
it screams mug me.
Interesting…Just make sure it is waterproof.
Seriously?!
I still prefer using an ear piece. It’s more handy, plus it looks and feels better when receiving a call.
Btw, Is it waterproof? 🙂
GOOD
Umbrellas can be used for sun shading as well. Would be great for at the beach.
love this idea !!
