Bluetooth and You: Handy BT Options

In-Car Connectivity

If you drive at 100 kph and are fearful that you may not live to see another day because your boss has a knack of calling you just as you're about to squeeze between a lorry and a bus, you should definitely pick up the easy-to-use distraction-free Movon MK20. It clamps on the sun visor, and connects to your phone every time the 2.2-inch screen is brought out. You wouldn’t need to yell either, as the mics are designed to be sensitive.

There are also in-car audio systems that also cater to the Bluetooth genre. The players themselves come pre-equipped with BT, so you simply have to pair your handset with the player. You can then stream music from your handset though your car's stereo system, as well as make and take calls, with almost no effort. Another option is a car kit that fits into your car's lighter and connects to your car's radio. It streams music and calls from your mobile phone to your in-car audio system. Parrot's PMK5800 Car Kit is a good example of such a device.

GPS Navigation
If you have a mobile phone with GPS software but not an integrated receiver, don’t fret. All you need is an external GPS receiver that could be connected with a wire. But why bother with messy wiring when you can get one that works with Bluetooth? The receiver comes with software that would need to be installed on to your phone. Pair it up with the receiver, and the application on your phone will show you the way (literally).

PC Connectivity
Finally we have PC connectivity. Using a Bluetooth USB dongle with your PC or your laptop's built-in Bluetooth radio you can sync your mobile with your computer to update and back up data from the handset. That’s the main use, but it also allows transfer of files wirelessly. Business folk can remotely control presentations with their mobiles – just install an application that can be downloaded from the Internet and is compatible with your handset and PC. There are also BT keyboards that can be paired with handsets so you can type quickly.

If you think we’ve missed anything, please say so in our forums or leave a comment here. Most of the products mentioned in this article are available in mobile accessory stores in India, and some of them you could even pick up from the gray market. So get ready to Go Blue!
