Still haven’t managed to get availability in Aus either … both Aliph and Amazon won’t allow sale to my address, and Apple here don’t seem to stock it either. What’s so nasty about it that we can’t get it here?

James, I don’t suppose you’re referring to this meaning of BOSE

I’ll do my obligatory mention here: the two Bluetooth headsets I’ve had, including the Jawbone have worked easily and well with my Macs.

I bought a bluetooth dongle a few weeks ago and use a Jabra headset with it on my xp laptop. It is a bugger to swap between the different audio setups, but it actually works real well both on my laptop and my phone.

That said, I have heard how gd damn good your Jawbone is and I want one. So if anyone does actually bring one over for vendorprisey, can you pop one in your bag for me too?

No BT handsets integrate with laptops properly. If there is one thing sillier than people at conferences trying to talk into their laptop, its someone struggling to get a BT headset working to receive an incoming skype call.

The phone vendors know that a good headset binding (a) sells headsets and (b) increases talk time. mobile telcos know that talk time==profit. But the OEMs and MS dont get profit out of skype; people dont choose their OS or laptop based on the skype experience. And skype doesnt make it easy to add and test a headset.
