Bluetooth appears to have become a fashionably necessary technology that is being imbibed into everything from cell phones to sunglasses and now even helmets. After all, that important piece of protection that you wear when you are out on your wild rides wheeling to catch that hottie’s attention should also be able to connect to your mp3 player.
The new Parrot Bluetooth, SK4000, is a Bluetooth enabled earpiece designed especially for helmets. The earpiece, which can be easily attached to any helmet, can be controlled via the handlebars of your motorcycle and can even play you the radio as you ride along grooving to the music. The Parrot SK4000 acts like Bluetooth A2DP and has an omnidirectional microphone that also has noise reduction facility so you can hold conversation with your bikers even during high traffic. A 3.5mm jack entrance allows connection to mp3.

The latest in the line of development is a helmet that may help in virtual telepathy. Though a scary thought, the U.S. defense is hell bent upon reading the thoughts of its soldiers.
However, the helmet will be ready only after many decades. Hence, the soldiers need not worry for the moment. And moreover, the idea is to enable the soldiers to communicate silently. But of course, we all know that things are not so simple and it could be used for dubious purposes.
