BlueAnt S4-Makes Top 10 Best Gadgets

U.S. News and World Report just rated The 10 Best Gadgets and Services for Baby Boomers. The BlueAnt S4 is one of our best-selling accessories and makes driving truly hands-free. This is what U.S. News and World Report had to say about it:

Distracted driving is a major problem, notes the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which reported that nearly 6,000 people died and more than half a million were injured in 2008 in crashes involving a distracted driver. That's why eight states and the District of Columbia have already made it illegal to use a hand-held cell phone behind the wheel, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Drivers can buy a simple wireless earpiece for under $30 to stay in compliance with local laws. But there is a more comfortable in-car solution: a wireless Bluetooth speaker­phone that clips onto your car's sun visor and lets you chat with both hands on the wheel.

Though you can find several similar models on the market, the BlueAnt S4 ($100) is unique in being truly hands-free. The device constantly listens for its master's voice. All one has to do is say, "BlueAnt speak to me," and it awakens, ready to react to oral instructions. To make a call, you can say "redial" or "call back" without reaching up and fumbling with buttons. And when you forget the correct commands, just ask, "What can I say?" and it will tell you what to do.
