Wireless Skype
Bluetooth has been spreading into every realm making life easier and more manageable. Wireless signals are where it’s all headed and cables will seem like ancient history probably in the next decade, so dive into the cutting edge of wireless gadgets.
1. Bluetooth Connect2Car All-in-One Remote
Get ready for the Jetson’s. This multifunction controller is pricey, but just totally cool. It works with any smartphone and enables communication to your car. This is a favorite wish list item for the techie’s at SewellDirect.
You can program control for keyless entry, engine cutoff, car alarm, rolling your windows up or down, opening or closing the convertible top, turning the stereo off or on, and that’s just a few of the things you can do. Now, that is cool.
2. The Ultimate Car Stereo
This is a particular stereo system that integrates all your Bluetooth devices and player devices. You still have your standard CDs and AM/FM stations, but you also have options to use your MP3 or WMA files, USB flash drive, SD card, and iPod or MP3 player. It even includes a port for a DVD player.
If that isn’t enough, you can integrate your cell phone into it, too. Complete with a clip-on mic, it will send and play your call through the speakers, so you don’t have to touch anything but the remote. The display will show you who’s calling. It even has ringtones and will override your music when a call comes in. But, you still get to choose whether you pick up or not.
The handy remote simply handles all functions and will even dial out. You can also stream music from your A2DP Bluetooth-enabled phones, PDAs, and laptops right into your car speakers.
The best part is the affordability of this remarkable stereo system. Under $200.
3. Bluetooth Headsets, Headphones, and Speakerphones
Hook up your audio devices without a trail of wires. Bluetooth headsets can be used for cell phones, Skype, computer activities like net chatting, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), and listening to MP3s. You can get relatively inexpensive headsets, under $30, or Jawbone headsets for around $100, which were developed with military Noise Shield technology.
There are also Bluetooth headphones that let you listen to your portable music players without being tethered to wires. No more getting arms, fingers, or earlobes tangled. This is a wonderful convenience for anyone on the move; jogging, walking, running, biking.
For the busy techie, Bluetooth speakerphones for cell phones in the vehicle are ideal. They range from simple to fancy with LCD displays and nifty tools like ringtones, Caller ID, voice dialing, and more. Costs range around $40 to $70, so it’s an affordable gift. The best thing about these speakerphones is it creates a totally hands-free environment while driving.
4. – Bluetooth Mice and Keyboards
There are wireless mice and keyboards out there, but adding interference-free Bluetooth technology to it adds functions like more customizable button options, magnifiers, smoother tracking, and they work with any Bluetooth compliant system.
You will no longer be chained to your chair. You can kick your feet up holding the keyboard in your lap, recline on the couch or bed. It’s a techie’s dream.
And for the ultimate dream, check the Portable Cloth Bluetooth Keyboard. You can take this anywhere. It rolls up into a nice little case and unrolls with full keyboard and Bluetooth capabilities. Nice.
5. Bluetooth Dongles
These add Bluetooth capabilities to your computer or laptop. Using the USB port, you plug these in to enable wireless connectivity (like to the internet) and/or communication with your other Bluetooth gadgets (like cell phones, PDAs, printers, keyboard, mice, etc.).
For under $30 you can get your Bluetooth system started. From there you can add any or all of the above gadgets. Dreams of wireless can come true.

In Skype Hacks, he shows you how to do things with the technology that even the engineers at Skype probably never intended.
