Moms Stay Connected With Both Hands on the Wheel

NASHUA, N.H., July 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- No one likes having to read an owner's manual from front to back before setting up a new gadget.  Enter the new Jabra DRIVE in-car speakerphone for moms on-the-go:  Tear open package.  No installation.  Get connected.

The easiest in-car speakerphone on the market to-date, the Jabra DRIVE oozes with  style and hails from the company known for its growing portfolio of hands-free solutions and sound expertise.  Both easy-to-use and intuitive, the Jabra DRIVE connects to two mobile devices at a time and requires no setup, allowing drivers and passengers to stay in touch with family and friends while on the road and in compliance with hands-free driving laws.

From running errands and carpooling to commuting to work and taking family road trips, the Jabra DRIVE transmits phone conversations with crystal clarity.  The Jabra DRIVE also features A2DP technology, which allows mom to stream music from her smartphone or Bluetooth-enabled Mp3 player, listen to directions from her GPS applications and more.  Whether it's a phone call with dad, the latest hit song or directions to a soccer game, DRIVE transmits clear audio with ease.

"Our broad line of in-car speakerphones offers something for everyone and at every price point. The introduction of the Jabra DRIVE represents an affordable option for all types of uses – specifically, moms looking to keep their hands on the wheel, eyes on the road, and ears tuned into family life," said Anne Raaen Rasmussen, Senior Vice President, Mobile Division, GN Netcom, Inc.

The Jabra DRIVE also features a voice guidance system announces battery status and Bluetooth® connectivity, while large control buttons for volume and on/off make operation a cinch.  With 20 hour of talk time and an impressive 30 days of standby time, the Jabra DRIVE is equipped with enough battery life to last through even the longest commute or road trip.

The Jabra DRIVE will be available in late July at Amazon.com or Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores and online at BestBuy.com/Mobile.
