A bluetooth hands-free kit is considered a necessity for anyone regularly on the road and on the phone at the same time. I've used mono systems for quite some time (Samsung & iTec), and found that sound coming in only at one ear can be a little annoying and disconcerting. In the past I used to think that stereo bluetooth headsets were too costly. That was why I was pleasantly surprised to find a Sony-Ericsson HBH-DS200 A2DP (Stereo) Bluetooth hands-free kit from Sony Ericsson at only RM120/US$35 (at the time) in Sungei Wang Plaza. I've been using it a while and would recommend it for busy and frequent users of A2DP-compatible mobile phones. It delivers a comfortably balanced, crisp audio, plus it keeps your hands free for you to concentrate on driving, typing, sewing, etc. I like that any 3.5mm stereo earphone jack can be used with this device. You can also pair it with your computer to listen to music. The sound quality is pretty good for a device in this price segment.

It hasn't been a week since I got my Sony a330 dSLR and I've mostly been taking close up macro shots. I ask myself what makes a good picture and conclude that it's very much dependent on one's preferences. Of course, blurry images and under/overexposed shots don't make good viewing, but a photographer's skill is in being able to make one just pause and admire the beauty that we can find in God's creation.
