I'd never thought of Bluetooth for a wireless intercom system, but it lends itself perfectly to that very thing. It also allows for future expansion into a direct interface with the bike, as in a heads-up display (HUD). There's already a clip-on one, but integrating it with the helmet is much more elegant, and losing the wiring a huge boon. Hell, you could even Bluetooth in the voice directional guidance from a Garmin Street Pilot or other route-enabled GPS units. It's a horrible shame, though, that it makes the wearer look like Tiny from G-Force... That’s pretty cool.
