I had been reading some of my favorite blogs and saw that the second generation Jawbone Bluetooth headset had been released.  I haven’t really been a fan of handsfree headsets.  Using Skype more and more on my computers, it has quickly become only second to my iPhone.  I’ve just been using the built-in mic and speaker on my computer, but I figured I should get a headset for better call quality.  I had read a lot of good reviews of the original Jawbone and since they claimed the new one is better than the original, I figure I’d give it a shot.

I was in my local Apple Store the other day looking for an additional battery for my MacBook when I decided I needed two Bluetooth mice for my computers. That’s always the case when you go into a store looking for one thing and walk out with something completely different. They didn’t even have the battery so I had to buy something or it was a wasted trip. I was looking for a mouse for my MacBook as well as a mouse to replace the Logitech LX501 connected to my Mac Mini.

My service contract was up with Cingular and I decided to upgrade my Motorola V551 handset. For the most part, I had been happy with Cingular. The wait times for customer service were somewhat long, but overall coverage after they acquired AT&T had been good throughout California. I became interested in smart phones and decided to explore my options. I needed a phone with email capabilities for the most part. I manage a few servers as well as a few websites and it is much easier to respond to clients in a timelier manner. Also with the smart phone I am able to check if all the machines are operating properly without the need to carry a laptop with me at all times.
