The most common method for wireless transmission of data is Bluetooth. Almost all mobile phones have a wireless module which enables the transmission of data to other Bluetooth enabled devices, and also enables the user to work in hands-free mode. It is an integral part of smartphones, PDAs and many notebooks.

I bought one of those bluetooth headsets for my phone (see pic), but I find it too uncomfortable to wear for very long.  
Does anyone use one of these, and can anyone recommend a comfortable one?

that does look painful.. I've never looked into it but I'm sure there has to be better solutions, maybe going and trying some on in a phone shop might be an idea?

I'm not sure they would let you do that, Sam, as there would be hygiene issues, given that the speaker is in contact with the ear.  I wouldn't want to buy one I thought someone else might have used.

True.  Might have a look in The Link tomorrow, and see what they've got.
