Motion-Activated Headphones

Wow! it feels very nice to blog after a long time. I had been busy the last 1.5 months both at work and off work. At work, its the usual boring stuff. Off work, I had a wonderful vacation for 2 weeks roaming all over(not really) the country. I had visited some places which I always yearned to go. And...Even more wonderful thing is hapenning in my life. I am getting married!. So, busy for obvious reasons. Just wanted to share this with the world :). Lets come to the topic...

Sony Ericsson launched earphones with an interesting feature. To stop/pause the music you do not need to press any buttons. The control is done based on some gestures. To start playing the music, just put both the earphone in the ear. To stop playing the music, just remove them from the ear. To pause the music, just remove one of the earphones. This earphones are meant for mobile phones. So, one can attend a phone call by removing one of the earphone. This particular gesture might not be good because you will not get to put both the earphones while talking on phone. Hopefully, this is configurable. See this link and/or the following video.
