This Helium Digital HDBT-990 Bluetooth (http://www.engadget.com/tag/bluetooth) wristband could be a godsend for businessmen who want to avoid sticky wires and phones to answer a call while jogging, except it does look kind of bland (too hard to add a watch (http://www.engadget.com/tag/bluetooth+watch)?). If appearance isn't what you're after, this wristband does offer audible caller ID, A2DP (although it's unclear if you can get stereo output -- we see no headphone jack here; probably just for higher mono fidelity), noise cancellation, and vibration alert for both incoming calls and when your phone is out of range -- the latter kind of mimicking the nio Bluetooth tag (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/nio-bluetooth-security-tag-review-your-phones-new-muscl/). Battery-wise it'll do 4 hours of talk time and 160 hours for standby. All yours for $87 starting in February.
