...been using Bluetooth wireless headsets for about a year. Not only do I love the convenience, but I also think they make it safer to talk on the phone while driving a car. Until recently, the simplest and lightest headset I used was Motorola's HS820, but now a number of even smaller and lighter headsets are hitting the market, from Motorola, Jabra and Plantronics. The Plantronics Discovery 640 is not just a tiny, easy to use headset-it comes with a Lego lover's delight of snap-on accessories...
...Because I use a Motorola Bluetooth cell phone, I stuck to the Motorola headset. This isn't because of the invisible software that joins them together-that's based on a Bluetooth standard that guarantees that Motorola headsets and non-Motorola headsets will behave similarly when connected to a Motorola phone. No, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to use the same plug in my car to charge both the phone and the headset (at different times, of course). Having to buy a separate Plantronics charger cable for my car might have spoiled the deal. Plantronics engineers...
...world heading into next week's U.S. Open. Sure, like a normal girl, Sharapova is a bit of a mall rat. But a normal girl doesn't morph into the highest-paid female athlete on the planet in one year. She doesn't have a corporate sponsor like Motorola throw her 18th-birthday party at a swank Manhattan nightclub, pack it with 500 people and hire Maroon 5 to rock out. And a normal girl certainly doesn't walk the tightrope between sports and sex, sparking a mini-furor at a Toronto tourney because her two stadium banners were...
Just as important, she learned to say no. After winning Wimbledon, she rejected offers to present at award shows and pose for laddie magazines. She turned down dozens of endorsement contracts. She did ink nine deals with the likes of Motorola, Nike, Colgate-Palmolive and Canon that with her court winnings amount to more than $20 million in annual income. But her agent, Max Eisenbud, and a 25-person "Team Sharapova" at sports-rep firm IMG gave the corporate sponsors just three weeks this year with...
Suddenly the market for BlackBerrys isn't quite so sweet. The handheld device--made by Research in Motion (RIM), which pioneered on-the-go e-mail in 1999--is facing stiff competition from a brambly bunch determined to break the BlackBerry's monopoly. In July, Motorola and Microsoft took aim with their wireless e-mail phone, called Q, which will hit stores early next year. Motorola is also rolling out an iTunes phone with Apple. That's more bad news for RIM. Because the BlackBerry is mainly limited to e-mail on its proprietary platform, many execs are switching...
