Like the new iPod Shuffle, the S305 takes a minimalist approach to design, combining all the controls for both voice calls and music playback in one navigational pad.

The headphones also promise strong bass and volume, thanks to their dynamic speakers. Motorola also claims six hours of battery life, which is likely longer than your music player (or even phone) lasts.

They will be availabe in April. Pricing has not yet been announced.

The G19 ($199) is a Mac- and Windows-compatible gaming keyboard designed to give you the one-up over enemies during all-night frag fests. The 19.5 x 10.5 x 2.0 inch keyboard features a GamePanel LCD (for at-a-glance game and system info), 12 programmable G-keys, multi-key input, two USB 2.0 ports, and a user-selectable backlight color.  You can expect it to hit stores in March.

The G35 ($129) is a Dolby-powered headset that delivers 7.1 surround sound, a noise-reducing mic, volume and voice morphing keys, and three swappable headband pads (thin, thick, contoured).  This Windows XP- and Vista-compatible headset (which connects via USB instead of a headphone jack) will be available for purchase in March.

The Harmony 1100 universal remote ($499) rocks a 3.5-inch color touchscreen display, support for over 225,00 devices and 5,000 brands, personalized soft buttons, and RF wireless technology that lets you control your entertainment set up even when they aren’t within line of sight. This Mac- and Windows-compatible remote will be available next month.

Being able to conduct a Google search right from the main screen (a feature once available only on Palm Treos) is convenient. Plus, you can customize One Click to show your favorite Web sites. One Click will be available on the Samsung Highnote, Rant, and LG Lotus when those phones become available in October, and the Sanyo Katana will follow. This UI not only saves time, it will encourage Sprint customers to take full advantage of all the carrier’s services–making the Simply Everything plan that much sweeter.

The Flip’s SureType keyboard is bigger than on the original Pearl, and it’s smart enough to recommend words after you’ve tapped just a couple of letters. Built-in Wi-Fi for fast surfing and making calls at hot spots; a welcome 3.5mm headphone jack; and a beefed up browser and media player solidify the Pearl Flip as one of the hottest smart phones of the year.

For a richer Documents To Go experience, you can pay for the premium version on your BlackBerry, which will enable a host of other abilities, like creating new documents, or viewing graphs inside Excel files, and you can try all of these features for 30 days before upgrading, but we were perfectly pleased with all of the features that come in the free version. We look forward to seeing it on the next generation BlackBerrys including the BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Pearl Flip.

Unlike Pandora, you can also learn more about new artists as they pop up and–if you’re a Premium Radio subscriber ($7.50 per month)–you can save the songs you like right to your device to hear anytime. The best part about the Slacker application for BlackBerry is that you don’t need a good 3G signal to rock out; smart caching technology allows you to sync your stations over USB (Wi-Fi is coming later) and listen to your stations on a cross-country flight.

The Rant looks most attractive for teens or adults craving a full featured device, but without the complexity and pricing of a smartphone.

But the most important aspect is its support for AAA service. Drivers can send their location using AAA Mobile Navigator directly to AAA for roadside assistance. For $9.99 per month or $2.99 per day, dark and desolate roads will never be frightening again.

The Instinct, arriving in June, also impresses with the way it uses voice recognition. Not only can you launch applications and send text messages by pressing the Voice to Action button, you can also look up nearby businesses via Live Search from Sprint. From there you can get turn-by-turn driving directions from the TeleNav-powered Sprint Navigation service.

Other winning features include access to the touch-optimized Sprint Music Store (for 99-cent over-the-air downloads), Pocket Express widgets (for quick access to news, sports, and weather), and Visual Voicemail. The Instinct has potential to be one of the best phones of the year.

Compatible with a wide variety of handsets, the service delivers traffic updates and finds local detours around congestion and accidents, all with the touch of a button. Even on a small screen AtlasBook Navigator offers a clean interface and easy-to-read maps. Add in a new 3D perspective view, movie and events finder, weather reports, and gas prices at nearby stations, and you have one of the best mobile tools you can fit in your pocket.
