If you haven’t checked out 1-800-GOOG-411 yet, you should.  It is 100% voice recognition driven directory assistance (wow that was a mouthful).  You call up, it asks for the location.  It will then respond back with how it heard the location and you can confirm.  It will then ask for either a category or business name.  Once you state it, it will begin to respond with search results.  When you hear a result that you like, you tell it the number and it will connect you. 

The best part of all is that the service is completely free!  No more $1.00 411 calls!  Check it out next time you get ready to dial 411.

Just to see if it would work, I decided the other day to pair my Motorola HS3 Bluetooth Headset with my Lenovo Thinkpad T60.

I have to admit that I am really digging using my headset with Google Talk and Messenger. I like having the option to switch into a voice chat from IM but maintain a form of privacy by using the headset. I think I’ll leave my headset paired with my computer and leave my phone out of it!

UPDATE:  Okay, I paved my laptop the other day and installed Vista, now I no longer have a working Bluetooth headset!  Apparently the Bluetooth stack in Vista does not include the drivers to support a Bluetooth headset :-(.
