Shortly after the iPhone 3G S was announced on Monday, the opinions of the masses leaked onto the blogosphere, and never were they more fierce than when it was revealed that most iPhone 3G owners would not be subject to the subsidized 3G S price should they want to upgrade.

So frustrated were we with Motorola’s track record, we swore off buying another Motorola bluetooth product, and instead picked up the highly recommended Aliph Jawbone 2. Touted as one of the best headsets due to its noise reduction technology, the Jawbone 2 differs [...]
