Yes, I’m am a gear geek now

I always thought the iPod was a cool device but I never really got into it. It’s funny the world we live in these days. It’s so convenient. I’m watching the movie Shooter in HD as it downloads from XBox Live right now. Meanwhile sitting on my couch with the laptop wirelessly. Speaking of wirelesss, I purchased another bluetooth headset last week. Thanks to Steve Jobs deciding that everyone that purchased an iPhone is entitled to $100 in in-store credit, a new Jawbone Headset only ran me $32. The employee in the store rang me up and even emailed me the receipt rather than printing it from his handheld point of sale system. As a jeep owner, one of the biggest problems I have is wind noise. I had originally purchased Apple’s iPhone Bluetooth Headset. Now this is a cool product. It comes with a dock and a mobile USB cable so I can leave at one at work and take one home. It’s absolutely tiny, and when I charge my iPhone, the headset charges in the dock along with it. The downside is that it seems to pickup wind noise like nobody’s business. So with my new credit, I purchased the Jawbone Bluetooth Headset. Now it’s a bit bigger than the Apple headset (read: much) but it actually possesses adaptive noise shielding. By doing this, it does an excellent job of filtering out background noise wherever I am. Now driving the jeep with the top flapping away or the window open at highway speeds doesn’t mean I can’t use my phone. I’m still happy I have the Apple headset though as I intend to use it once I put the hard top on the jeep. Until then though, I’ll talk with relative zero background noise from the Jawbone.
