It's no secret, I love multi-functional gadgets (says so right over there ----> a little lower, RIGHT THERE, see it?)
So, when this really nice woman I met while attending the BlogHer '10 conference this passed summer handed me a box, encouraging me to "give this handy little gadget a try," I thanked her and then went on my merry way, thinking it was a motorized wine bottle opener, a spinning spaghetti fork, or something.
What? Okay, perhaps your definition of handy little gadget is slightly, you know, different from mine.
It was this new portable bluetooth hands free car system from Parrot.com for iPhones, smart phones and mobile phones and I could NOT have been more delighted, because NOT everyone has an iPhone (or, an iPad) dangit!
So, I gave it to Garth (not his real name) since, you know, I'm giving like that...want to see?
Still, blue tooth ear pieces and headsets can be a real pain to deal with. Trying to use (or even find) the speakerphone function on my cell phone isn't any easier, or safer either.
Check this bad boy out!
KEY FEATURES FOR PARROT MINIKIT SLIM ARE:
Slim and lightweight: we have ours hooked to the sun visor of my husband's car, but the Minikit Slim is portable and can be used in the office or at home, too. It will automatically connect to your bluetooth phone when nearby.
Automatically synchronizes: to the contacts in your mobile phone.
Voice recognition: just say the name and the Minikit Slim recognises it, or if several numbers are associated with the same person, tell the kit which one you want to dial by saying mobile, work, home, etc...
Just in case you'd like to see it in action, or sometimes appreciate the use of visual aids (like me) here's a quick video from Parrot.com:
(Warning: has sound and perhaps a slightly cheesy feel to it, sorry!)

FINAL VERDICT: The lightweight quality and ease of using the Parrot Minikit Slim makes this portable speakerphone truly a handy little gadget, even for those of us who are blue tooth challenged (like me!)
Want one?
