This device has just hit the shores of the USA (it's ben available in EU for about a year). It allows the use of any Bluetooth enabled headset to interconnect to any modern amateur transceiver.
It works as advertised, but does take some time to properly adjust the controls. Once that is done (with a caveat), it works just like they say it does.
The caveat is the headset. While it will clone to any Bluetooth headset, the best selection is the RoadRunner series (like this one: http://www.x-tremegeek.com/templates/SearchDetail.asp?productID=16002&ta=detail_img&pi=Y&st=5). It sports a noise-canceling microphone, and single ear headset which should meet any local restriction with respect to mobile headset use.
If you're looking for REAL handsfree, and CABLE free operation, this is the device you need. It reduces the distraction of operating mobile, with convenience, and ease of operation.
AES and R&L (and others) carry the device, and street pricing including the requisite cables for most transceivers is about $220 including shipping.
If I have a complaint, it is that I should have been able to buy this device a couple of years go!
