One of the more competitive segments in the Bluetooth Headset market is that of the premium headset. Jawbone, BlueAnt, Plantronics and Motorola are just a few of the heavyweights vying for the top spot; throwing the best technology they have into making the best products they can come up with. The way that these companies go about building a product that is head and shoulders above the rest of the industry varies. Some aim for a simple headset, with solid quality; while others try to pack as many features into a small package as possible.

Plantronics’ Voyager line has produced some amazing Bluetooth headsets through the years. Their Voyager Pro headset is a simple, straightforward design that is light on extra features and heavy on quality for a decent price of $89.95. With arguably as much or more experience in designing and building headsets as any other company, Plantronics has the expertise to really make a strong push the have one of the top headsets in the world.

I have the Sprint Touch Pro, and one of the unique features that I have been dying to play with since I got it was the TV cable feature. With such a small screen on my phone being shown on a big screen like a TV, I wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised to be surprised by what I found once I got my hands on the HTC TV Out ACT100 Cable.

A few weeks ago the mobile browser Skyfire 1.0 was released for Windows Mobile. We took a look at it on the AT&T Fuze and found it to be a decent browser with a good bit of potential.

We had the opportunity to review the Samsung Jack and taking advantage of having a Windows Mobile Standard phone in the house, Skyfire 1.0 was installed and taken for a test drive. Follow the break to see how well Skyfire matches up with Windows Mobile Standard.

SPB Software has released Geo Game, a geographic game that tests your knowledge of world capitals and national flags. There's really not much more to this trivia styled game. It's graphically styled along the lines of SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 with menu and back tabs on the bottom of the screens. The main gaming screen gives you the option to choose between the National Capitals or Flags game.

The "Capitals" game presents you with the name of the capital city or country. You are given four choices to choose the corresponding country or capital from. If you choose an incorrect answer, the choice is shaded gray and when you choose the right answer, you are sent to a world globe where the capital city is pin-pointed on the globe. The "Flags" game presents you with either the country or flag and you choose the corresponding flag or country. Both games are timed and the goal is to choose as many correct answers in a minute.

If the animated globe gets on your nerves (and it doesn't take long) you can turn off the animation from the Options Menu. It's a fun game that tests your geographic knowledge. In testing the game on an HTC Fuze, navigation was straight forward and simple. At times the choice selection was somewhat stubborn but nothing to complain about. If you're looking for a time-consuming, knowledge testing game to pass the time with, SPB Geo Game is worth a look at. A trial version is available and for the time being, Geo Game is only available for Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional (touchscreen) phones.
