Mr. Mobile – #46 – BlueAnt’s Q1 Bluetooth headset

Jay Goldman, AKA Mr. Mobile offers his video review of BlueAnt’s Q1 Bluetooth headset. This headset does things a little differently; it uses voice prompts to lead users through the setup process and recognizes and accepts voice commands to do things like “dial contact, Mobile.” If you’re not comfortable issuing voice commands to your phone while in public, this may not be the headset for you. Otherwise, Mr. Mobile says it’s a strong contender.

With handsfree driving laws already in effect coming into effect across North America and the world, it’s never been more important to keep your eyes on the road and your hands at 10 and 2.

Mr. Mobile takes a look at BlueAnt’s SuperTooth 3 in-car Bluetooth handsfree speaker phone and is impressed with its voice prompts and speech recognition.

Mr. Mobile – #44 – Augmented reality with Layar

If you’re an iPhone 3GS user or an Android devotee, Mr. Mobile’s got one for you. The Layar Reality Browser grabs online data and lays (or perhaps layars) it over the image coming in to your mobile’s camera. The result; see subway stops, Starbucks, fast food outlets, Wikipedia entries and much more in a live view of the world around you.

The Sony Ericsson C-510 is an entry-level phone while the Xperia X1 is a smartphone running Windows Mobile.
