Posted by: | Comments
With all the recent state laws that have gone into effect about cell phone usage while in a vehicle, there is a new option as far as hands free usage. The Jupiter Jack is a very interesting product in that it works with any cell phone including PDA’s. This product claims no hands, plugs or wires simply set your car radio to 99.3. The Jupiter Jack plugs into the phone and is said to transmit quality sound though your car speakers. Priced at $19.95 this product may be a good option instead of Bluetooth or other expensive hands free kits.
Bluetooth can often be very difficult to use. Also if you are like some people those ear pieces are not comfortable to use. Time will tell if this is actually a good product or if it has flaws. Something to think about is the connector. Sometimes the connectors are smaller and therefore might not work.
Similar products to the Jupiter Jack have been introduced before but have not worked too well. Several reviews have stated that there was trouble in using certain Blackberry phones even though the company states that it is versatile with any phone. Hearing someone on the other end is also very important. There have been reports that with this product it may be hard for your callers to hear you. Most people have been satisfied with the product, but it may be too soon to see if it actually catches on.
