Shameless Endorsement

$25 at Fry's. Works like a charm, three click set up in OS X. Very good mic, good sound, excellent range. This is the Jabra BT125 but the point is that this technology is sufficiently mature to be useful. Cripes, if it just keeps my kids from playing DVDs at loud volume on trips it is worth it.

We heard you the first time, show off.

"First?"

I am reminded of the story of the Caliph who decided to give his kingdom and daughter to the bravest, most clever man in the kingdom. So he threw a lavish party and at the appointed hour announced; "Suitors and adventurers! My kingdom and my daughters' hand to whomsoever first crosses this pool if ravenous phiranna! Go!" There followed a deathly silence... then.. a singular spash followed immediately by a mad rush. The water turned white then red, it was horrible. Finally a lone figure emerged at the feet of of the Caliph. "Congratulations my son! You have a kingdom and the most desireable girl in the land." The youth, gasping and bloddied replied; "Nevermind that, I want the name of the bastard that pushed me."

wireless earpiece for your cell phone
bluetooth.

Wireless earpiece AND microphone that works with any "Bluetooth" device; celphone, computer, whatever. I've got it hooked up to the macbook with great success although I haven't done the voice recognition training yet so it could be a flop in that respect but I seriously doubt it. It's not stereo so it isn't really for music but everything else is fine.

Rob,

what do you use it for. i have a macbook pro but read that the bluetooth isnt enbled for headsets, or rather the stack wasnt included because they didnt want people to send music over a reciever to their steros. (god i'm an awful speller)...

thanks !

It's a wireless microphone and earbud. I can use it for anything, voice commands, voice recognition, listening to DVDs. That's a good one as the kids can watch in the car without annoying and without full headsets
