BlueAnt has been showing of this headset since CES ’08 but they are finally make the first Bluetooth 2.1 headset available. The V1 key feature, besides the small size, is that users can control their headset via voice commands. We’re not just talking phone controls like dial John Biggs, but rather pairing and volume control as well. Best of all, there is a ‘Teach Me” mode for some on-the-fly learning action. So if this headset strikes your fancy enough to pick one up, the MSRP has been set at $129 and it should be available at the end of this month.
