Strap On a Bluetooth Wristband, Stop Missing Calls

blualert.jpgMost of us have experienced this cell-phone snafu: You couldn't hear your phone ring because you were in a noisy place, or you couldn't feel it vibrate because it wasn't in your pocket. Result: You missed an important call. Maybe even a sale.

Enter the BluAlert Bracelet, a Bluetooth-enabled wristband that vibrates when a call comes in. Doesn't matter if you're at a rock concert or your phone's tucked away in your briefcase -- you'll know when it's ringing.

This gizmo features a sizeable neoprene band. It pairs with any Bluetooth-equipped phone and promises a 100-hour standby time, meaning you'll need to recharge it only every four days or so. It's a little pricey at $50 (from ThinkGeek), but if your business lives and dies by the cell phone, that's a pretty small price to pay. Photo by ThinkGeek. [via Crave]
