I have a jabra hands-free device that clips to the visor of the car. You may recall that I used it to navigate on Kauai by pairing it to my android phone and going into “navigate” mode. Lt would give me step-by-step turning instructions.

Well, the next Holy Grailis to make hands-free outgoing calls using the ability of the phone to understand voice commands like “call home”, where “homr” is in the phone’s address book.

Basicly all you do is

hold down the big bar (like a space bar) on the Jabra for a couple seconds and the phone will tell you through the Jabra to  say “call”, followed by the address book name or a number. After a confirming OK from you the call dials. You end the call by  touching the bar.

For skype users you will have to tell skype to only make skype calls from the skype app, or the phone will hang, waiting for you to touch the skype or regular phonecall buttons that are presented to you by the phone if you have skype active. Sounds complicated but it’s not.
