With Christmas just around the corner, I’m sure we all know someone that is in bad need of a bluetooth headset that works well. It is with this in mind that I would like to recommend the The Motorola H800.

It is small, sleek and has a cool slide-out mic which also functions as an on/off switch which will means it lasts for a long while. It is easy to setup and pair with your cellphone and connects to your phone fast from its off state so you can pick up your calls with no interruption. It comes with three different ear pieces so you can find the one with the best fit. The sound quality is great both going in and out, but, because the it uses a speaker that rests on your ear to deliver sound, it does become hard to hear in noisy environments.

However, if you work in a noisy environment, a good alternative would be the Jawbone Noise Shield. This product does what is says delivering good sound quality and shielding out much of the ambient noise. It is about the same size as the Motorola H800 and, although it may not look as sleek, its industrial style will make just as big a statement.

I don’t know about you, but now a days I try to be as green as I can be. Besides, I get sick of having to boot up my computer every time I want to look at my digital pictures. Solution? Digital picture frames.

These little treasures will help save those trees from a premature termination and will make a fine addition to any household. It will also allow you to display several different pictures within that one frame so you can clear up some of the picture clutter that can gather over the piano.

The frame pictured above is the Matsunichi Photoblitz PF7E 7 inch. If you’re looking for something affordable, this is the way to go. With this frame, you will be able to load your digital camera’s memory card through one of the two memory card slots (supports CF, SMC, MS, SMPRO, SD, XD and MMC). After that, you can sit back and watch the slideshow of your pictures. You can even mount it on your wall with the built-in wall-brackets, how cool is that!

If you’re looking for a frame that’s a little bigger and has more options, you can go with the GPX PF-907. This 9 inch frame also comes with a built-in memory card reader, but it has 16MB of internal memory to store your photos and comes with a cool remote control and it is also able to play videos and audio MP3s! Another nice touch to this product is that, if the black faceplate doesn’t suit your decor, you can change it to Cherry Wood or Pewter!

Other Digital Frames

There are many unique digital camera features out there, but most of them don’t include a built in MP3 player! The Samsung NV3 is Samsung’s attempt to make the media world a little more convenient by including MP3 and video storage in their NV series. The camera is appropriately about the size of an iPod Classic, but has great picture quality for a compact camera, which the iPod does not (yet). The NV3 includes stereo speakers for your music, and it even has a very large 2.5 inch LCD screen for viewing movies you upload onto you memory card. While it might look weird to listen to you music from your digital camera, the Samsung NV3 is a great idea for those that don’t want to buy an additional MP3 player and carry their cameras everywhere they go.
