Mother's Day giveaway: Win a $100 Jawbone ICON wireless headset


As I pulled into the preschool parking lot the other week, I saw a mom chatting away on her cell phone as she backed her car out of a spot. Her kid wasn't in the car, but there were plenty of moms walking around the lot with their children. I was really annoyed. Talking on a handheld phone while you're driving is dangerous (and it's also illegal in our state). Research has shown you are four times more likely to get into a car accident if you're driving and talking on a cell phone. And don't even get me started on blockheads who text and drive.

Dave does most of the driving (despite my squawking about his driving skills, or lack thereof), and has been using a wireless headset for years. He's tried a bunch of different kinds, but he's never been thrilled with any of them. Then Jawbone sent us two ICONS to test-drive, and now we're both hooked. They're the only Bluetooth headset out there that has high-tech background noise reduction, and they definitely do the job. People hear you completely clearly and without background noise even if, say, your little girl is in the backseat screaming "MAX PULLED MY HAIR! MAX PULLED MY HAIR!" The ICON is also easy to connect to your BlackBerry (me) or iPhone (Dave), and it feels comfy in your ear.


It also looks pretty cool, and can I please have a profile like hers in my next life?
