Sometimes it seems that the entire population is wearing a headset or earphones. So why should there be a different pair for every function?

Sony Ericsson thinks there shouldn't, so it's come out with a wireless headset kit that can be used for Bluetooth cell phone signals, USB connections and even VoIP calls. It can run for up to 12 hours of continuous talk time or 300 when idle, according to Electronista.

Now if we can just figure out how to make it work with an iPod, we'll be all set.

And you'd want this to work with iPod for what?

It's a mono bluetooth piece. Why would you want it to work with iPod, unless you have only one ear?

Wow...cause it said 'iPod', not 'iPhone'. And even then...it's not stereo. If the iPhone has bluetooth (duh, it will) then it will work, but it's for PHONE CALLS, not for LISTENING TO MUSIC.

Are people really so dense?

Dense? How long did it take you to figure out that this headset could not be stereo?? Do you think maybe he was just trying to get a rise out of a techno geek out there??
Guess what, he succeeded didn't he?
