Newton selects Broadcom's Bluetooth tech for its MoGo Talk wireless headset

Newton Peripherals has selected Broadcom's Bluetooth technology for its new MoGo Talk headset. MoGo Talk is a unique, wireless headset that can be stored and recharged within the plastic bodies of notebook PCs and cellular handsets.

Broadcom says, current MoGo Talk designs support the Apple iPhone, two popular BlackBerry devices (the Curve and the Javelin) and a host of notebook PCs with voice over IP (VoIP) capabilities. Based on Broadcom Bluetooth technology, Newton will continue to add popular phones to its list of devices supported by MoGo Talk.

Stuart Nixdorff, CEO of Newton Peripherals said "The MoGo family of mobile interface devices requires advanced Bluetooth solutions that can accommodate ultra-thin form factors, while still delivering a highly satisfying user experience. Broadcom is a strong partner for Newton Peripherals to integrate with as we continue to see broad adoption of MoGo Talk in the Bluetooth headset market," said Stuart Nixdorff, CEO of Newton Peripherals. "The integration of Broadcom's SmartAudio technology means that MoGo Talk headsets can effectively identify and filter out bothersome noise, improving audio quality and ensuring crisp and clear voice calls."

Craig Ochikubo, Vice President & General Manager, Wireless Personal Area Networking, Broadcom's Wireless Connectivity Group said "Our continued pursuit of technology superiority in the Bluetooth headset segment has resulted in innovative designs with some of the industry's leading makers of headset products. We are pleased that our Bluetooth silicon and software provides the design flexibility and audio quality required to enable innovative designs like Newton's MoGo Talk."
