This link was broken. I tried putting it back together in the browser 
url window, but it still didn't work. I did a search on engadget, got 
the link, and put it through tinyurl.com.

Here it is (It does look interesting):

You all know by now that June is a long ways away, and even when that 
glorious month finally dawns, there's a good chunk of us who won't even 
be able to partake in the iPhone fun due to location. Thankfully, 
Mavizen has a svelte alternative to pair up the functions of your phone 
with your current dock-connecting iPod courtesy of the myBlu. This wired 
/ Bluetooth device provides a wired set of headphones and a microphone 
that you connect to your 'Pod, while the integrated Bluetooth module 
syncs with your handset. Upon receiving an incoming call, the tunes are 
halted and the incoming number even shows up on your iPod's screen, 
quite similar to how the original ROKR functioned, except we're adding 
an external DAP. Aside from caller ID, it also supports voice redial, 
most recent call list, and adds an FM tuner to boot, and since it pulls 
power straight from your docking port, no extra batteries are necessary. 
Of course, for as sensational as this little gizmo sounds, getting it 
over here on American soil could prove to a chore in and of itself, but 
if you're down with locating a Hong Kong importer, you can snag one for 
around HK$598 ($77).
