Toss your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone and your iPod into your backpack or briefcase and liberate yourself from the tethers of technology. Hookup is a "made for iPod" cultural accessory that gives you the freedom to work and play seamlessly.

How It Works
Hookup includes a transmitter adapter that plugs into your iPod to wirelessly connect your iPod to Hookup - a Nano sized receiver - using Bluetooth technology. Just plug your favorite earphones into the Hookup and enjoy your music with standard iPod functions such as play, pause, forward, reverse, and volume control.

Pair your Bluetooth-enabled phone with the Hookup and, when an incoming mobile call is received on your Bluetooth-enabled phone, you can easily switch between streaming music to answering your call at the press of a button. The Hookup receiver will mute your music and play your phone call through your earphones. Answer the call with the Hookup's built-in microphone and toggle back to your streaming music once you're done.
