Parrot is reporting that Bluetooth headset sales are hitting new highs in California and Washington due to their new cellphone laws. Its interesting to note that California gave out 7,182 tickets in July for breaking the law. In Washington a little more than 100 drivers were given tickets in July since they can only be ticketed if they are pulled over for something else.
I have been in the market recently for a black Jawbone 2 headset and found this decent deal on TechBargains. MacMall is offering the Jawbone for $108.72 with $5.99 shipping and tax in most states. On the other hand Shop4Tech has it for $116.96 after coupon shipped with tax only in California… You can find the deals on this page. Prices on Amazon are a bit less than $130.
On the other hand things are looking good for California residents using GPS devices. They are trying to pass a bill that will remove the $108 fine for mounting a GPS or practically any other device to your windshield. I almost got a ticket for that last time I was out in California.
