Taking a call while driving is dangerous enough, which is why it’s banned in at least 14 states, plus D.C. and other US territories (and that’s what Bluetooth headsets are there for). But writing while driving—that ups the danger level quite significantly. Hopefully, when the Bluewire bluetooth device finally hits the market, these dangers could be a thing of the past. It might just be that good.
The crowd-funded Bluewire project is looking to produce a hands-free Bluetooth headset capable of recording any conversation on your Android device. It’s capable of recording both sides of your chat, leaving out the guesswork on who said what and why, and can be played back through an app installed in your smartphone. It can pair with any Bluetooth headset you have (so you don’t have to change preferences), can record your conversations even if you’re far from your phone (up to 33 feet), and can even record Skype or other VOIP exchanges.
It’s actually hard not to like the Bluewire. By simply tapping it on your Android device immediately after your last conversation, it automatically transfers the recording onto your phone. On-board recording and storage is also possible via the Bluewire’s 16GB memory. It supports Qi wireless charging and can function as a two-way walkie-talkie as well. Plus, the device is made to be portable; it comes with a ring so you can latch it to your keys. But a really useful feature of the Bluewire is its motion sensor: If you can’t remember where you put your keys, simply shake your phone and the Bluewire will ring, leading you to them. Conversely, if you can’t find your phone, shake the Bluewire handset and your phone will ring. You can even use it as a burglar alarm (hang it on your apartment door; your phone rings when the device moves) and comes with a built-in flashlight.
According to Avi Gilor, Bluewire’s inventor and founder-CEO, one of the reasons he was convinced to create the device was how his locksmith flirted with danger, taking calls and writing essential information while driving. With that in mind—and if you’re also the type of person who needs to record an interview, a number, or an important address while on the go—why not head over to Indiegogo (see source link below) and contribute to the USD$40,000 goal the Bluewire needs so it can potentially save lives? It might even save yours.
