Andy Ruffell / 14 years ago
Today we are breaking out of the norm and taking a look at something a little bit different and away from our usual bag of computer hardware and peripherals. Today brings us a day of taking a close look at a bluetooth headset from Plantronics with some unique features.
Bluetooth headsets and BT devices are general are a big fashion at the moment as more cars include Bluetooth capabilities, especially as the law has clamped down on using a mobile phone whilst driving, especially in the UK. Though we heard that people in other worlds experience the same from their law enforcement.
On a serious note, it can save lives and due to this, a market is filled where companies like Plantronics can fill and make money from, and why shouldn’t they? All they need to do is create a product that works, is better than the competition and is fairly priced.
Enter the M100 from Plantronics!
