BlueAnt’s Commute for Handsfree Texting

BlueAnt’s Commute is a new speakerphone for your car that, believe it or not, lets you text and dial hands-free. It’s developed to comply with California’s Freedom to Communicate law that takes effect on Jan. 1, 2013. You dial and answer calls using your voice, and it’s compatible with Siri and Google.

The Commute announce the name of the incoming caller (assuming it’s in your address book) and you say “answer” or “ignore.” While I have a built-in Bluetooth phone system in my car, I’ve been trying this on rental cars and it works great. Sound is loud and clear, better than on most headsets.  ($100)
