Stay safe whilst driving and taking phone calls
- If you’re caught using a handheld mobile phone on the road it’s an automatic three penalty points and a £60 fine – or much worse if the case goes to court. Research even shows that using a mobile when driving means you’re four times as likely to crash – but this can all be avoided. This in-car hands-free speakerphone features a unique built-in AMS motion detector, so as soon as you get into the car, the unit switches on and detects your phone – optimising battery life up to an amazing two years between charges (USB cable supplied.) Simply clip this hands-free speakerphone to your car’s sun visor allowing you to make and take calls legally and safely. Ideal for families, as up to 8 phones can be paired with it (and two at once), answering calls is very simple: just press the big green ‘answer call’ button and take your call in crystal clarity with wind noise and echo eliminated. There are even big button volume controls on either side so you can keep your eyes on the road at all times. Making calls is just as simple: simply dial the number on the phone before driving, and the hands-free kit switches on and takes over. It’s the most user-friendly hands-free speakerphone kit we’ve ever seen and will help keep you on the road.

Cast out your mobile phones (but keep the SIM card it’s quite important) and get ready for a new dawn in mobile technology. The sWap Watch has arrived. For too long the mobile phone has dominated the landscape of techno communications while the trusty watch was left alone on the bedside table gathering dust while we its selfish masters galavanted from meeting to meeting keeping time with our trusty pocket sized PDA’s. The mobile phone heartlessly usurped the watch of its fundamental duties but the ‘sWap Watch’ is out for revenge and will not stop until the mobile phone has gone the way of the Sun Dial and the Dodo. The tables have now been turned. The sWap Watch doesn’t just double as a mobile phone – it’s like having a multimedia centre strapped to your wrist and all without the crushing shoulder strain. Want to check your emails? Surf the internet? Listen to music? Take Pictures? Watch a movie? MAKE a movie? It does ALL of these. It’s in danger of completely eradicating boredom revolutionising every minute of your day into a potential fun zone. The next time you’re stuck on the train you’ll just need to check out the 1.5 inch screen on your wrist for an instant fix of entertainment that’ll turn your commute into a pleasure cruise rather than a chore. The memory card slot allows you to insert a Micro SD card to upgrade the 512MB on board memory to a whopping 2GB. With all that memory you’ll have no problem storing all the MP3s and movies you’d need for a short jaunt. If you really get bored (and with this watch it’s hard to see how you could) you could even check the time (from one of the many different watch faces stored in it’s memory) or make a phone call. The watch will accept most SIM cards so upgrading is hassle free and making calls couldn’t be simpler – just plug in the hands free kit and you’re good to go. If you really want to go one step beyond and banish those pesky wires along with your mobile phone then you’ll be ecstatic to hear that the watch is Bluetooth compatible. You won’t even have to fork out for the headset as it’s included in the package. This may just be the last gadget you ever need to buy. The future has arrived and it’s a wristwatch. A watch a mobile phone and a media centre all rolled into one. Choose from a number of different watch faces stored in the sWap Watches’ memory.

Its highly intuitive interface will automatically connect to your Bluetooth phone when nearby. Fixed to the sun visor or laid on a table, it adapts to every environment and can easily be carried around in your pocket.
- Once paired, the Parrot MINIKIT SLIM automatically synchronises its phonebook with the contacts on your mobile phone. The phonebook on the MINIKIT SLIM is updated seamlessly whenever it connects. The entire phonebook is available at all times thanks to the voice synthesis of the names (Text-To-Speech function). Practical and indispensable.
- Fancy calling one of the contacts in the phonebook? Say the name and the MINIKIT SLIM recognises it without any prior training and dials the number. If several numbers are associated with the same person, tell the kit which one you want to dial by saying mobile, work, home, and so on. You can also record a voiceprint (shortcut) for one of your contacts, so that you can call them even more quickly.
- Parrot has combined its audio expertise with the vibrating panel technology. No more speakers – the top panel is connected to the audio circuit and vibrates to reproduce natural, open sound. The results are spectacular – stunning sound quality, crystal-clear conversations and power always ready to go. The especially discreet high sensitivity microphone is fully built into the design.
