A New Mobile Headset From Logitech

Now that I have migrated to a Motion Tablet (LS800), I am looking for better ways to Experience Mobility as I travel. Today, Logitech released a Logitech Cordless Headset for PC and Mobile Phones. It looks pretty good and if it lives up to the hype, it will definitely be added to my mobile bag.
They indicate that the Cordless Headset for PC and Mobile Phones is versatile in that it can be used for hands-free and cords-free phone calls on both PCs and mobile phones. Hmmm…I like that!
There is a USB wireless receiver that plugs into a desktop PC or laptop for those that do not have Bluetooth. The headset can also be connected to any mobile phone with Bluetooth wireless technology. It has a range of 30 feet which is pretty typical. What I am particularly interested in is how loud the speaker is and if the new "WindStop technology" works well while outside.
It looks like we won’t see it until October but I’ll give it a try when it is available. The suggested retail price in the U.S. is $99.99 which is a little rich but if it works, I’ll pay the premium.
































This is just the Logitech Mobile Traveller, the update to the Mobile Freedom, with a USB-BT add-on for your computer. It has pretty decent sound, is more functional than the Freedom (IMO), but has slightly worse BT reception (I have to actually MOVE my Wizard so that I can hear without static). I use it to listen to MP3s from my phone as well as for cell calls.
Thanks for the update Uwaku! If they have updated and fixed the BT reception, it might be a good unit to have.
The search for the perfect mobile solution continues…
