mount the phone on to just about anything. Price: about $143.

The device doesn't require a subscription and doesn't rely
on commercial call centers. Other features include a bright LED signal light,
six-year battery life, unique ID number and water-resistance down to 10 meters

Jabra Sport Wireless + - Freedom to breathe
Exercise is about breaking free, so why get entangled while
you're working up a sweat? Jabra's new Sport Wireless+ head-set not only uses
Bluetooth to deliver crisp audio, but also features a behind-the-ear design
that keeps the sound where it belongs, regardless of what you're doing. It
allows you to skip tracks, control the volume, take calls and fiddle with the
FM radio. Because the headset is shockproof, rain- and dust-proof, it can take
a fair amount of abuse. Plus, you get a choice of 7 different ear gels to
ensure a perfect fit. Oh, and you can connect to two devices simultaneously.
Price: about $150.
