Sony Ericsson HBH-608 Akono Headset is an excellent piece of kit.

I had to buy a bluetooth because of UK driving laws restricting moble phone use.  Useful to as I have a bulky Ipaq 6515 phone/pda so for a longer call Bluetooth would be just the answer.

The headset communicates easily with my Ipaq 6515, no problems setting it up, just switch on the headset (hold the on button for 5 secs) and it registers via the Ipaq during ‘bluetooth setup program’.

To answer a call, just press the button on the bluetooth once.  To reject a call hold for 2 seconds.

To end a call, press the bluetooth once.

Great – and it comes with a hand neck tie so you don’t have to have it in your ear at all times.

The first piece of technology that wasn’t a headache on install…

Compact travel fan from Marks and Spencer

May 15, 2007

 

Most pocket fans just suck.  But this one is incredibly powerful and has soft blades that cannot hurt you.

The M&S travel fan is only 3.50 also and has won a design award.  It stands up also for stationary use.

It should be noted it can switch itself on when in a pouch or pocket, so I tend to reverse 1 battery so it can’t start accidentally otherwise the blades won’t spin and the motor will burn out.

9/10 for sure for this product, just awesome.
