wearable devices
We'll see a wide variety of wearable devices that clip onto clothing. Sony, as an early example, will soon ship its Sony Smart Bluetooth Handset SBH52, a clip-on device that relays audio to and from any Bluetooth device. You can use it like a phone (as in hold it up to your ear and talk). It also has an FM radio. Think of this device as a halfway technology between a Bluetooth headset and a clip-on wearable device.
这种设备好比是介于蓝牙耳机与夹式可穿戴式设备之间的XX技术。

中途技术 or 过渡技术
halfway =midway 有中途和半路的意思。“中途技术“意为“没有完全实现的技术"
"完全实现的技术"也就是文中提到的最终的“夹戴式设备“技术.
此句中是乎有从“蓝牙耳机”到“夹戴式设备“之间“过渡”的意思。意译成“过渡技术“是否和适？

看了EnglishChineseT 的解释, 受启发,是乎觉得有'hybrid/mixed technology-混合技术'的味道? 觉得"中间技术"还是有"过渡"的意思, 而没有"二者都具备"的意思.欢迎讨论.

"Halfway technology represents the kinds of things that must be done after the fact, in efforts to compensate for the incapacitating effects of certain diseases whose course one is unable to do very much about. By its nature, it is at the same time highly sophisticated and profoundly primitive... It is characteristic of this kind of technology that it costs an enormous amount of money and requires a continuing expansion of hospital facilities... It is when physicians are bogged down by their incomplete technologies, by the innumerable things they are obliged to do in medicine, when they lack a clear understanding of disease mechanisms, that the deficiencies of the health-care system are most conspicuous... The only thing that can move medicine away from this level of technology is new information, and the only imaginable source of this information is research. The real high technology of medicine comes as the result of a genuine understanding of disease mechanisms and when it becomes available, it is relatively inexpensive, relatively simple, and relatively easy to deliver."
网上找到这么一段话用到"halfway technology", 文中又用到'incomplete technologies' 来形用这些当前的技术. halfway=incomplete. 中文怎么翻?

| between ... and...才有“hybrid/mixed”的意思，而halfway本身没有这层意思。 |

中间技术
既是蓝牙耳机，又是夹式可穿戴式设备。这是Sony刻意设计的，属于一种“variety”。

: 也想这样译,就是觉得" 介于...与...之间的中间技术" 之间和中间有点儿 重复.

其实我不想这样直译，但又怕意译走得太远。

技术折中
原文也可能靠这个意思 - 英语里halfway用在名词前也有“不完全”/“不完整”/“部分”的意思（非正式），比如 halfway measures，halfway solutions, etc.

我们会看到各种各样的可穿戴式设备可别在衣服上。比如说，索尼很快会推出其智能蓝牙耳机SBH52，这款夹式设备可以与任何蓝牙设备相互传送无线电信号。它可以像手机那样使用（夹在耳朵上就能通话）。它还有调频收音机功能。这个设备好比是介于蓝牙耳机与夹式可穿戴式设备之间的混搭技术。
