Bluetooth definitely one for the road
Gadget: Sudio Silhouette
What it is
A Bluetooth hands-free speaker phone that allows a driver to keep both hands on the wheel while speaking on the phone.
Why you need it
Most brokers spend a considerable amount of time driving to various appointments, and it is usually on one of these drives that an important phone call comes through. And while you may have the ability to juggle a gear stick, wheel, phone and articulate conversation, it is uncomfortable, dangerous and illegal. The Sudio Silhouette allows a driver to answer calls without rummaging through the car and, additionally, is stylish and unobtrusive so it fits in with the car's interior.

What's particularly cool about it
It is slick, easily attaches to the sun visor of a car, can be charged in the car through an included charger or through the USB port of a computer and, when not connected to another device, it turns off if it has not been used for an hour to preserve the battery life.
