Review:Sony Ericsson Stereo Bluetooth Headset
I don’t even know the number of times I’ve tweeted something like, “so frustrated with my bluetooth headset in the car”, because I’m sure it’s been too much. I have one of two problems: either I can hear the other person fine but they can’t hear me (such is the case with the Jabra sets I’ve tried), or they can hear me just fine but I have a hard time hearing them (such is the case with the Jawbones I’ve tried).

Beautifully compact, these fit in my backpack or pocket quite nicely. (more…)

I must admit that the secular to Christian ratio of music on my Zune is probably 5:1, but I do like to have the best of the best on there.
I do have a question for the iPod fans that read this, and only one of them (ONE!) has ever answer me when I ask:
