With the
two-hour season premiere of
Grey's Anatomy kicking off last week,
Ellen Pompeo couldn't have looked more businesslike with her BlackBerry Curve smartphone (which was shielded in a black gel case), her black
Motorola Bluetooth H375 headset ($50), and another black tiny cell phone in her left hand. I had no idea she was such a gadget girl! Now if only she had a big bag to hide all her high tech toys in.

My home base of California is
now a handsfree state, which means it's illegal to drive your car and talk on the phone unless you are using a Bluetooth device or headset. I've tried my
share of Bluetooth earpieces and understand their place and function, but I don't love having a device crammed in my ear. This weekend I took my sister's
Supertooth Light Bluetooth Handsfree Speakerphone (
on sale for $70) for a spin and it won my affection after two test phone calls.

Right up there with the
Discovery 925 and
Jawbone headset in terms of functionality and total class is the latest by Joby — the
Zivio Boom Bluetooth. With a sexy and sophisticated exterior and with 10-hours of talk time (and over 300 hours on standby), this headset is definitely going to be making it to the top of some Christmas wish lists this year. All this for only $130.
