When we think “wireless headset” we’re usual conjure up images of Bluetooth headsets and headphones beaming phones calls and music to our ears. Nikon’s Media Port UP headset looks to change our notion of what a “headset” can do.

The over-the-ear style headset features a flip-down monocle display that can be used to watch videos or surf the internet. With 4GB (Nikon Media Port UP300) or 8GB (Nikon Media Port UP300x) of onboard storage, the Nikon Media Port UP headset can download data from the internet (via a WiFi connection) to care about later or just play video and music. Integrated motion sensors grant for hands-free webpage navigation media playback controls through head-motions (up, down, left, and right).

The Nikon Media Port UP headset brings your favorite media with you for on-the-road pleasure. Because, you know, real life is just so boring.

The Nikon Media Port UP300 ($580) and UP300x might not catch on in the mass market, but it’s definitely an interesting idea. Now, if this Borg-style headset were to sport a Bluetooth connection to link up with a smartphone, would anyone use it?

Nintendo Points not exactly multiplatform screenshot

Envision this. You walk into a store and pick up one of Nintendo’s recently announced Nintendo Points cards. You come home, toss the number into your Wii and buy Mega Man 9. After a few hours you realize that you need to rush to the airport to fly to Turkey. You pick up your DSi and try to buy a game with the same card (with points still on it) you just used for your Wii. After trying to purchase, you’ll find that your card doesn’t work. It is now bound to your Wii.

Go figure, right? According to a Siliconera report, Nintendo Points cards can only be used for one console solely. Even if there are points left on the card, consumers won’t be able to apply them to the upcoming DSi store.

Leave it to Nintendo to unify a name, but forget to unify the system. There has to be a screw loose somewhere at Nintendo, I’m sure of it. What do you guys think? Ready to juggle some cards whenever the DSi hits?

Then, few days ago AT&T announced a similar “offering” to enabled customers to “set up accounts online before heading to the nearest store to activate and complete the purchase, reducing in-store wait times as the busy holiday shopping season approaches.”
