You Want That!

I’ve used tons of headsets before but never a Jawbone.  I found out that my work had a discount with Verizon and since Verizon sold the headset I figured what the hell and bought it.  To summarize – I LOVE IT!  It’s tiny and light weight.  This sucker makes ANY other Jawbone look HUGE.  Also, better than any other Jawbone – this model didnt seem to “care” at all about the fact that I shave once a week.  As many have probably noticed, previous models lost their effectiveness with the presence of stubble on the chin.  This is because the facial hair separated the sensor in the Jawbone from the jaw bone thus hindering its ability to pick up on vibrations.  Called LTxda and we definately agreed it did very well even though I didn’t shave.  The jaw sensor is greatly upgraded on this model as it’s a more pronounced nub instead of the tiny stick in the old models.  To boot they upgraded the power charger – no more proprietary cable needed.  Now its a standard micro-USB cable and its ACTUALLY USEFUL!!! There is software on the Jawbone site that you can configure the built in voices.  Specifically the way the software works and reacts.  You can change the voice dial settings and all.  As for those that are fashion sensed and focus on aethetics, the new Jawbone comes in many different designs/colors.  ~ You Want That!!!

Microsoft seems to be continuing to move forward and towards a voice dominated world…and it’s about time we see more activity.  They’ve come out with Microsoft Recite.   This product allows you to record voice notes and recall your notes via voice.  This means that you can record as many notes as you want and later do a voice search.  Two great things about this software:  It’s FREE and it just works.

Example:

-  Joe recommends a movie
-  You pull out your Windows Mobile based device and open Microsoft Recite
-  You hit the “Remember” key and make your voice note by dictating something like “Joe recommends movie X”
…six months later…
-  You remember that Joe recommended a movie and that you made a voice note
-  Take our your Windows Mobile based device, open Microsoft Recite, hit the “Search” key and say something to the effect of “What movie did Joe recommend?”
-  Almost immediately the voice note you made six months ago appears and begins to play your voice memo back to you.

Wonderful preview technology and I highly recommend that you give it a try because…YouWantThat!

This product works exceptionally well on my HTC Touch Pro.  You install the CAB, you run the product and make your voice note, then easily recall it using your voice.
