Technology reviews

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates to this topic.

I am lucky that I was accepted as a reviewer of gadgets by a global distributorship of mobile phones. Several times a year, I receive Nokia units (cellular phones and paraphernalia) from WOM World for review, and for participating in Nokia-specific programs. I just wish I’d get phones from Samsung (the Omnia would be nice!) and from Sony Ericsson as well.

Oh and I’d really like to get my hands on cell phone headsets, too. I got one once, but it was a big, bulky (but surprisingly lightweight) Nokia bluetooth headset. But that was it. There are so many more out there that I’m sure are worth trying.

In today’s exceedingly mobile lifestyle, I believe headsets of all shapes and sizes will become a lot more commonplace. When before this gadget was in the domain of the tech-savvy, it’s increasingly coming out in general use, particularly because of the heightened awareness of its convenience and the lowering of prices worldwide.

Using a headset is like multi-tasking — it frees up your hands for other tasks. And with advances in technology, these tiny but powerful contraptions are getting more and more sophisticated in terms of usability, function, and even style!

It’s even a safety device, if you come to think about it. Since it lets you answer calls hands-free, a headset could save lives by allowing automobile drivers to use their cell phone without having to actually hold their phones. If only voice-activation features and speech-recognition technology could speed up their progress in development, right?
