 LG’s latest Bluetooth headset, the HBM-770, is like any other Bluetooth headset on the planet… except I like it! The simple fact of the matter is that this is the first of a couple dozen Bluetooth headsets I’ve tried which actually fits and is light enough to actually disappear on my ear and is loud enough for me to hear it while I’m cruising down the I-5 with the windows down.
The HBM-770 is just like every other Bluetooth headset, as I’ve said before. It has a power button, a charging port, volume controls, and you can plug it in the charge. It sits on your ear using a large loop (See image left). which starts behind the microphone and causes it to gently rest on your ear. Its the in-ear piece which defines how it sits on the side of your head, which really seems to work for me.

April 2nd, 2009 | Tags: drive, obama, times | Category: Opinionation | I’ll say it up front: I’m not a pot smoker, but I used to be. I used to smoke like a chimney, too. I was the designated joint roller for my friends as I could do anything from fatties to pinners in the blink of an eye. I have not, however, smoked anything but cigarettes for the past 15+ years and I have been a father for 11 years. I don’t even drink very much at all, and I consider myself a beer snob!
Why am I saying these things? Recently, our amazingly cool, smart, educated, and well spoken President cancelled “Drug War” operations against medical marijuana stores. Los Angeles superstar Police Chief William Bratton who famously cleaned up New York City crime and was brought to LA to do the same, has stated that Obama’s actions are stupid. Bratton loudly proclaimed that Marijuana is a “gateway” drug. You, sir, are an ass.

February 18th, 2009 | Tags: CES, fun, iphone, mac, mobile, Opinion, service, technology, times, wireless | Category: Opinionation | As you well know, I’ve got an opinion on things. Lots of things, really, but my prediction skills have never been very reliable. I will say, though, like how obvious it was that Blagoevich was guilty, that I’m positive that Google is working on a desktop application for Windows and Mac OS X. Now, that can range anywhere from being an entire specialized Linux distro (an idea which has been floated many times before) to an Adobe AIR applet which makes it easy to work with your Google stuff. My money’s on real, native, fully functional, non-web UIed, bonafide applications for Windows and Mac OS X, though, and the signs are clear.

December 27th, 2008 | Tags: 2008, business, CES, family, fun, head, service, times | Category: Opinionation | It might as well be called Craig’s Lost now, of course Craig has already made his money from the failed endeavor, so I don’t imagine he really cares any more. If you don’t understand what I’m talking about, just poke around on Craig’s List and see if you can’t find some scam amongst all of the categories. My wife, who speaks several languages fluently including French, Hebrew, and Spanish, offered to tutor the daughter of a man seeking assistance.
Of course, it turns out the be a check cashing scam and my wife and I can see it coming a mile away, plenty of time to avoid the scam. Of course, not everyone will be able to sniff out the rat. If people had gotten wind of how it works then the scammers around the world, including the notorious Nigerian gangs, wouldn’t still be at it. In case you don’t quite get it yet, this is organized crime, dear readers. Here’s the ad itself:

November 18th, 2008 | Tags: fun, games, hardware, media, mobodojo, news, review, storage, times | Category: Reviews | Disclaimer: I don’t generally pick products just so I can review them. If you look back over the long history of PDA Handyman/Mobility Handyman/Mobodojo you’ll see that I rarely give products a bad review. This is because I select products to review as if I were selecting to purchase for my own use. If you want to read repeated stories about humping dog USB toys, then Gizmodo and Engadget are your best bet. I prefer to review products which can hold real value for my readers. There are, however, occasions when a product has promise but cannot, for whatever reason, deliver. At times I choose to just not review the product, but in the case of the Sony mylo 2, I feel compelled to warn people of the cost they are about to incur, mostly for naught.
 If you see one of these under your tree this Christmas, don’t bother unwrapping it. Take it back to where it was bought from and buy yourself a Sony PSP. The new Mystic Silver PSP-3000 model which comes with a new Ratchet & Clank game and a movie sells for the same price and offers infinitely more functionality and fun. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
I won’t even bother going into the specifications or any real details about the device. I will, however, state that it is not what it says it is. The Sony mylo 2 is not a smaller version of a laptop, as Sony would like you to believe. That would suggest that its a MID, and it is most certainly a MID, just not a very good one. The reasons for why it is not good are simple and clear, and I will outline them for you here.
