| When I first took the Moto Hint out of its package, picked up the walnut-sized headset, and put it into my ear, I tensed waiting for something amazing to happen. Some new life force would enter my universe, a sentient voice in my head providing conversation and information while I went about my life. I’d ask it questions; it would provide directions and feedback and Giants scores; we’d be friends. |
| And indeed, the $149.99 Hint sprang to life as soon as it entered my ear. It made a decidedly modern, space age sound, like an instrument booting in a spaceship in the year 3056. Then a calm female voice, not Scarlett Johannson but the friendly Google Now lady I’ve gotten to know, spoke. | | “Moto Hint is ready to pair. Go to Bluetooth menu on device to complete pairing.” | | “Paired,” she said, after I’d spend a few seconds digging through the menus on my Moto X. “Moto Hint connected.” |
