If you’re excited about any of Motorola Mobility’s new product announcements, Tuesday, September 16, is the day you can put your money where your mouth is. Motorola will begin accepting pre-orders for the all new Moto X, and for the Moto Hint, on the 16th at 12pm ET. Additionally, the Motorola Turbo Charger will be available to purchase, and the Moto 360 smartwatch, which sold out the day it was introduced, will be restocked.  If you need a reminder of why you want to place orders for Motorola’s highly customizable flagship phone and the most elegant smartwatch on the market, refer to SiliconANGLE’s previous coverage of the Moto X and the Moto 360.

The Moto Hint is a re-imagened bluetooth headset that was designed to solve an important problem: It’s next to impossible to wear a  bluetooth headset without looking like a douchebag. Voice recognition interactions and services on mobile devices, such as Siri on the iPhone, Google Now on Android, and Cortana on Windows Phones, are becoming more and more sophisticated. The inconvenience of holding your phone up to have a conspicuous conversation with it, is, for most consumers, preferable to the stigma of wearing a bluetooth headset in public.

The Moto Hint lets you have your cake, and eat it, too. It’s discreet, and tremendously useful. The wireless earbud, as Motorola calls it, is about the size of a jellybean. Slip it into your ear, and it automatically turns on. It has passthrough audio technology, so the world around you won’t sound distorted when it’s worn. Once connected to your phone, it becomes the voice and ears of your phone’s digital assistant software. You talk to it, and it whispers back to you. Ask about the weather, or about new movie releases, or for directions to the nearest Starbucks, and the Hint will respond intelligently.

It works with any bluetooth enabled phone, but it’s particularly friendly with the Moto X, due to the always-listening Moto Voice technology. Users can expect a little more than 3 hours of talk time, but its carrying case uses conductive charging to provide two extra charges. The Moto Hint comes in a variety of materials, like wood grain and leather, in light and dark hues, which makes it look more like fashion than technology. If this all sounds familiar, it might be due to the striking similarities between the Moto Hint and the wireless earbud worn by Joaquin Phoenix in the Academy Award winning film Her. The Moto Hint sells for $149, and is expected to ship later this year.

The Motorola Turbo Charger uses Qualcomm Inc.’s Quick Charge 2.0 technology to power up devices up to 75 percent faster than regular chargers. Motorola claims that, with the Turbo Charger, Moto phones can receive up to 8 more hours of battery life in only 15 minutes. It works with all certified Quick Charge phones, including the Moto X, the Samsung Galaxy S5, and the HTC One M8. It goes on sale this Tuesday for $34.99.
