Aliph offers a “breaking the hands free law” discount for Jawbone
Aliph, the makers of the Jawbone Bluetooth headset have just begun offering a $20 discount for anyone who receives a ticket for breaking a hands free law. Simply put they are offering the discount “because having a conversation shouldn’t be a crime.”
So for those who have run into trouble with not being able to put the phone down, simply visit the Jawbone website and choose the headset color you want, enter the state where you received your ticket and the ticket number. Once that is entered, you will be able to get that $20 discount which will bring the overall price down to $109.99.
While its hard to think they are rewarding those who have broken the law, at least maybe this will help to keep at least a few people from holding a cell phone while driving.

Gadgetell Comparison: New Jawbone vs. Original Jawbone
We have already mentioned that the major complaint against the original Jawbone headset was due to the size. With the promise of the new Jawbone being 50% smaller, that was all it took to plunk down another $129, even though the original was still working great. Just in case you were wondering what that 50% looks like, here are some comparison pictures of the new Jawbone and the original Jawbone.

Gadgetell Unboxing: Jawbone (new) Bluetooth Headset
As soon as Aliph released their latest Jawbone headset, which we have seen referred to as the “new Jawbone” and also the “Jawbone 2” it became a must have item. Aside from the promised better sound quality thanks to the “military-grade NoiseAssassin technology” the promise of a 50% smaller headset was hard to pass up. Having used the original Jawbone since it was released, this is a welcome addition. The smaller size alone makes this money well spent, because ultimately my only real complaint about the original was the large size. The new Jawbone comes complete with a charger, three sizes of the ear piece and four ear hooks, two of which are leather covered.
Aside from the non-standard charging cable, I think Aliph has done some great work with this latest headset. The charger will work in a standard wall outlet or over a USB connection, which is nice, however the headset end is special for this headset. It does work well, however a miniUSB connection on the headset side would have been a little nicer and a lot more convenient. This way it could mean one less cable to carry, and would also make for an easier replacement should it get lost or damaged.
