Everyone knows it’s a good idea to keep both paws on the steering wheel at all times. So yakking on that cell phone attached to your ear when driving is just not so cool, cats! How about a hands-free device instead you say? OK. But I think you'll agree with this fashion conscious feline when I say that anyone (and I mean man or beast) who publicly models one of those Bluetooth headset thingies in his ear should be arrested (Don't believe me? Look it up. See Sec. 23-12, “Gross & Ludicrous Tackiness.”) Even though the fashionably inept can probably keep a step ahead of the law, they'll conceed it’s a pain in the ass just keeping that stupid gizmo planted in your ear! (Which is not even an option for me.. anatomically speaking. Meeeouch!!) An alternative might be to use one of those pesky speakerphone kits. But then you have to deal with wires, keep it plugged into the cigarette lighter port all the time or make sure it’s charged and ready to go. No thanks.
Say “meow” (hello) to my little friend! It’s called the Miccus BluBridge Auto-Talk.
Billed as the “ultimate accessory for safe, hands-free phone calls while on the road” it easily pairs to any cell phone that has Bluetooth capability (and that’s most cell phones/smartphones these days). Operation is pretty much effortless (the device automatically pairs to your phone each time you turn it on). But perhaps the best part is the solar panel that’s built right into the back of the device. This completely eliminates the need for any manual charging. The device uses a suction cup mount to easily and securely attach it to your windshield (so it gets ample sunlight for charging).
Incoming calls are announced via text to speech (“call from 5 0 8…” ). Just tap your paw on the device’s single large button to answer the call. BlueBridge auto-talk also features voice dialing (if your phone supports that) and phone book download capability to make dialing numbers and searching through your cell phone’s phone book a thing of the past. (Think: Yellowpages from the Phone Company). With a fully charged battery you can yak for about 13 hours with 800 hours standby time (both increased if solar charging is used).
Sound quality is good to very good. I could hear callers just fine and found the volume to be more than adequate (but of course my hearing is obviously far superior to yours. Meow!) In practice, the BluBridge Auto-Talk provided many hours of constant and enjoyble kitty talk time. Purrrfect!
This light weight gadget also sports a pretty tiny paw print at only 3.89H x 2.16L x .66W.
