TomTom's VIA 1435 M features phone pairing via Bluetooth and voice recognition for commands in an otherwise pretty standard GPS unit. Other improvements include a much more compact integrated windshield mount, which is a huge improvement, and an accelerometer to rotate the display 180 degrees. These features are a big step up for TomTom GPS units though and, with the exception of the accelerometer (we'd actually rather have a control in Settings for this), they're a sizeable improvement to TomTom's already solid line of GPS units.

The new
Apple iPhone 3GS
caused a stir when it was released atApple's WWDC
. As the mere addition of the "S" (which stands for speed) to the product name attests, the changes aren't big... at least on the surface. The iPhone 3GS looks almost identical to the iPhone 3G. However, under the hood things have changed. A lot. Jay Goldman does aDirect speed comparison of the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 3GS
with surprising results.

Jay Goldman profiles the latest smartphone from Nokia, the E71 smartphone, along with a stylish Bluetooth headset that could be confused for the latest iPod Shuffle. Jay finds the build quality of the E71 excellent but laments the fact that the smartphone's software lacks the user interface polish of some other mobiles. Taking a look at Nokia's BH-804 headset, Jay says it's a stylish if a little pricey mobile accessory.

Form and fashion meet function with the Jawbone headset.
This innovative piece of technology uses bone conduction (AKA Noise Assassin technology) that uses vibration in your jaw bone to let the earpiece know when you're talking. This means your voice comes through clearly while ambient noise is killed, making for a much clearer conversation.

Jay Goldman, AKA Mr. Mobile, takes a look at the latest Jawbone Bluetooth headset in this episode. He's loving the Noise Assassin technology that uses "bone conduction" (which is nowhere near as uncomfortable as it may sound, we're assured) and ambient noise filtering to make sure people on the other end of the phone hear only what you're saying, and not the wind, traffic or other undesirable sound.
