Apple Bluetooth Headset Goes Out of Range

"I'll admit it: I loathe Bluetooth headsets. It's impossible to walk around with one of those things protruding from your head without looking like a total tool. No one's impressed, Lieutenant Uhura. I'd like to think it was that reason that prompted Apple to stop selling the iPhone Bluetooth headsets, but it was probably poor sales. We don't have sales figures, of course, but I've never seen one in the wild."
Well, I guess he never saw me on the freeway. I admit, I own one, but I rarely use it. I find the Jawbone to be a much better bluetooth headset than the Apple headset as far the fit goes. I do, however, like the fact that the Apple headset is small, and it worked surprisingly well for me, except for the annoying problem of it falling out of my ear. It never fit right and after a few minutes of use I had to adjust it again. And again. There is speculation that Apple is coming out with a new design for use in the rumored new iPhones in June. If they do, I hope they fix it so it stays in the ear!
