My Wireless Life...

One of my bosses told me once that I'm like a stock dog. If I'm not kept busy, I tear up the furniture in the house. He didn't mean it as a compliment though I took it as such. I'm never one to leave well enough alone. I fervently believe that good is the enemy of great.

Having no great project to occupy my energies these days, I've chosen to eliminate the wires in my life. I search the internet every night for new gadgets by which to accomplish this task. My latest purchase is the Logitech Bluetooth Headphones. It only works with older Ipods and the Ipod mini but it is otherwise a pretty good item. It's not perfect. It's rather large and the unit that fits onto the Ipod increases the overall size of the combined unit to the point where I have to find a new case but it sounds great. The range is good too. All in all, if cords offend your sensibilities, this is a good purchase.

I also recently acquired the newest Jabra bluetooth headset to pair with my Treo 650. Previously, I used the Motorola headset with the very cool collapsing boom but it didn't really fit me and the volume was too low for my deaf ear. The Jabra is plenty loud and actually quite comfortable. The sound is excellent too. I think it looks pretty cool too. I'm not sure of the model number but it's the one that fits completely around your ear with an earbud earpiece. The bulk of the unit fits behind the ear giving it a more a of hearing aid look. Yeah, not cool but somehow, it works with this unit. Worth the purchase.

I sync my Treo bluetooth style with my computer too.

Now, I'd like to be able to sync my Ipod with iTunes wireless too. I know that's coming. And if it's not it should.

And in the future (not too far I hope), I want to be able to charge my gear wirelessly. Power cords are the next to go.
