I've always turned up my nose at Bluetooth cellphone headsets, and I admit I've been sacrificing convenience and comfort for vanity. Not to name names, but certain popular models make me think of fast-food drive-throughs, or ill-conceived jewelry. But, eschewing Bluetooths altogether means I wind up dropping my phone a lot, not to mention the smeared makeup and overall ickiness of having an iPhone pressed against my face for long periods. So when I saw the Jabra Stone, a decidedly non-attention grabbing Bluetooth—well, it grabbed my attention.

Many operators have driven customer adoption of mobile data services with flat-rate mobile data plans, but they are now struggling to maximize revenues for available bandwidth across subscribers. Ironically, flat-rate plans are beginning to compromise operator revenue opportunities by driving revenue-less traffic growth and enabling services substitution, as users increasingly choose applications from other players in the mobile application ecosystem.
