Blackberry outage, Vista SP-1, and another blow to HD-DVD...

TLR 16: Leo on CFRB with John Donabie - Tech News Summary - Blackberry outage, Vista SP-1, and another blow to HD-DVD...

July 1, Californians will join many other states and countries in requiring drivers to use handsfree devices when talking on their cell phones. I called Bill using the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Aliph-Jawbone-Shield-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B000RUPEOA/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=wireless&amp;qid=1203093369&amp;sr=8-1/leoville0f-20" target="_blank">Jawbone</a> today. 
I currently use the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/BlueAnt-Supertooth-Bluetooth-Handsfree-Speakerphone/dp/B000Q6R4MK/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=wireless&amp;qid=1203093464&amp;sr=8-2/leoville0f-20" target="_blank">BlueAnt Supertooth Light</a> in my car. It has its own speaker and mic and attaches to the visor. It works pretty well, although I can't vouch for what it sounds like to my callers. 
Another system that requires no installation but uses your car speakers is <a href="http://thetoothpik.com/">The Tooth Pik</a>.
