The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) this week announced the winners of its best-of-CES contest.
Each year the Consumer Electronics Show fills Las Vegas with gadgets, and Bluetooth has been a major variable in those gadgets for the past several years.
The overall winner is Parrot’s Zikmu wireless speakers, officials said. Category winners are the LG HFB-500 solar-powered car kit, Microsoft Vista Feature Pack for Wireless, Samsung YP-P3 media player, LG Decoy mobile phone, Parrot Specchio digital photo frame and Nonin Medical Model 9560 Pulse Oximeter. The trade group said its winners were selected based on technical compliance, usability, appearance and documentation.
Another category, User’s Choice, will be announced this Friday. Votes can be placed at www.bluetooth.com/userschoice.
