Jabra has been in the mobile phone accessory business for a long time and I have been a fan of their products ever since I bought their first Ear-Gel wired headset for my Nokia phone. Over the years, they have improved the product line and moved into Bluetooth products. Having reviewed a number of Bluetooth headsets, I was curious to see how they improved their latest top-of-the-line product, the BT800. | |
When Bluetooth (short range, radio frequency communication standard for wireless connectivity) first became available, one of the first devices to take advantage of this new protocol was the cellular phone. The protocol was perfect for short range use such as synchronizing the phone to your computer, using the phone as a modem, or wireless, hands-free headsets. I have always been a fan of hands-free headsets. You could talk on the phone while keeping both hands on the car steering wheel and the earpiece made it easier to hear the person you were talking with. Not to mention reducing the radiation dangers from holding the phone to your head. More... | |
One of the best reasons to have Bluetooth in a mobile phone is the possibility of using a wireless headset. However, many people are hesitant to pay $100 or more for a Bluetooth headset. Especially since many lower price phones are beginning to have Bluetooth as a standard feature, it is hard to justify paying more than half the cost of the phone just for a headset. Jabra, one of the leading companies in the mobile phone accessory market, has decided to enter the price-sensitive segment of the market with its first entry-level Bluetooth headset. More... | |
Bluetooth headset are great for giving a wireless, hands-free connection to your mobile phone, but when I am in the car or office I want a speakerphone. I want the ability to talk without something in my ear. I want to talk comfortably without any physical obstruction to my work or driving. A few mobile phones offer a speakerphone feature, but they almost always have poor performance, weak speaker volume, and poor microphones. Jabra’s new SP100 Bluetooth Speakerphone brings true hands-free functionality to your car, office, or home. | |

I love GPS Navigation. There, I have said it. Other than basic PIM functions, it is the greatest use for a PDA. There are many choices of hardware and software that will give you the basic GPS navigation functions. The limitation of any system is usually the software. The speed and performance of available software packages can vary greatly. So when I heard about a new navigation software package from Gate5, I was very interested in giving it a try. | |
