OpenBrain announces Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headset More details about Intel Canterwood and Springdale-PE/G chipsets Archos announces pocket audio/video player Hercules announces 3D Prophet ALL-IN-WONDER 9000 Pro 64MB ATI starts shipping RADEON 9500 PRO cards OpenBrain announces Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headset 
As the alternative to usual wired headphones, Korean OpenBrain announced Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headset (OBH-0110) with built-in audio player. I guess PDA owners will be the first to like it. The player also features built-in flash memory storage 32Mb to 128Mb in capacity. There are two models of headset: classic Earphone and fashionable Backphone. Bluetooth module meets the V1.1 (A2DP) specs and provides up to 10m connectivity (in the open) and 700 Kbps throughput.
The built-in player supports SBC (16-48 kHz, Stereo/Mono), MP3 (8-320 Kbps, 44.1 kHz), WMA (8-193 Kbps, 8.0, 11.025, 16.0, 22.05, 32.0, 44.1 kHz). The frequency range is 20 Hz – 22 kHz at over 95 dB SNR and less than –83 dB THD. Output power is up to 20 mW RMS. Built-in batteries (250 mAh, 3.7V) provide 150 hours of standby, 6 hours of playback, 3 hours of PC-connected operation. The headset weighs 72 g. The package includes Windows CE, 98, ME, 2000, XP drivers.
More details about Intel Canterwood and Springdale-PE/G chipsets It’s no surprise that Intel is to release four new chipsets, including Canterwood, Springdale-PE, Springdale-G, Springdale-P with 800MHz FSB for new Pentium 4 processors within the half-year. According to provisional data, the current Intel 845 logic will be actual up to Q3 2003 only and Intel 850E is, most likely, to leave the stage even earlier. So what’s to replace them?
As you can see, three leading chipsets will support 800MHz FSB and DDR400. Springdale-P, supporting 533MHz FSB and DDR333, will be aimed at the low-end market. All four chipsets will feature dual-channel DDR interface. At the first sight, Canterwood and Springdale-PE seems identical, but it’s not so. Canterwood, provided with all features possible, is positioned as the workstation and high-end PC logic. It’s known that inner circuitry of Springdale-G, Springdale-PE, Springdale-P, resembling each other, greatly differs from Canterwood´s. Another difference is the Turbo mode, of the latter, that, according to unconfirmed information, is optimal for simultaneous use of 800MHz FSB processors and dual-channel DDR400.
 Unlike Canterwood, that, according to provisional data, will only support dual-channel DDR, Springdale series will support single-channel as well, resembling the current i845. according to PC builders, Springdale-G/PE will support only dual-channel DDR333 (thus stressing the Canterwood´s dual-channel DDR400 Turbo mode). Though, again, it’s unconfirmed. Canterwood´s wholesale price is promised to be about $50, that will naturally position it as an expensive solution. Source: PC Watch
