I first saw the GoJo on a Saturday morning infomercial. It’s a a plastic headband, the type you expect to see a phone operator wear, that uses a suction cup to hold your phone in place to your ear. I guess I can see the appeal, there are no batteri and at first glance i was like ehh I could probably do without that. About a week later i received a press release about it and figured I’d give it a try.
On the plus side, the suction cup does hold you phone in place and it does work with phones of varying size.
On the down side, i found it kind of uncomfortable and it definitely did not go on my head as easily as in the video above. Those two issues made it a challenge when i need to answer an incoming call while already on the phone…or looking at the phone for any reason.
Bottom line, it didn’t do it for me, not even for the $10 price tag.
Geared towards the mobile professional, Jabra’s SUPREME UC is a great option for anyone on the go wanting to stay in touch. Not only does it work with cell phones, it can also be used with, Microsoft, Cisco, Avaya, and SkypeTM programs, or Unified Communications (UC) applications. If it is anything like other Jabra devices I’ve played with, it will be well worth the $149 price tag…cant wait to get my hands on one to know for sure

Downloaded Blackberry Traffic today from the Beta Zone. I was never a fan of the previous versions, but since they added the voice guided feature I figured I’d give a shot. Since downloading, I’ve tried it in a few spots and would love to try it out, but I haven’t been able to get a gps signal. Guess I’ll be using Google Maps til Traffic decides to behave.

After about a day of spotty or no Blackberry data service in North America, it is slowly returning. Millions of Blackberry users had hips that were not buzzing due to a faulty switch that caused outages across several continents. This has been the largest RIM service failure in years. With many customers and investors already losing faith in the communications giant, this was definitely not a good look. Hopefully for their sake (and mine since a I’m a BB fan), this isn’t a sign of things to come.
There are a few hands free bluetooth speakerphones available on the market right now. While they all perform that basic function, some do it well, and others not so much. I was able to get my hands on Freeway($129.99) from Jabra, and i gotta say, i’m impressed. It paired with my phone in about 10 seconds out of the box. Before making or taking any calls on it, i decided to check out the sound quality by streaming some mp3′s to it from my phone. (more…)
RIM made their much anticipated touch and type hybrid phone a reality with their announcement at Blackberry world. Feature to be included are HD video recording and playback, NFC and Liquid Graphics touchscreen. The 4g device will be available this summer in both GSM and CDMA varietis. You can find the GSM version on T-Mobile, and the CDMA version on either Sprint or Verizon.
