Those are too big for keeping in the pocket powering
the phone so you can use Siri fulltime.

Was tempted tho when I saw the video of it starting a car with a flat 
battery.

The latest one he got,

superficially looks quite adequate. While I have had a look at it in the 
flesh,
not yet clear how well it works over multiple charges of the phone or being
used connected to the phone for the garage sale run. I'll borrow it when he
gets back and give that a go. Tho the garage sales will be very quiet for
months now, might need to leave it for months for a proper test.

Full time siri and a bluetooth headset would be handy when walking
around Sydney too. The turn by turn navigation when walking is very
convenient indeed when you haven't got a clue where to go say to get
to the backpackers or the PowerHouse Museum.

Bit weird to use tho, must get more practice. The biggest problem is
that it mostly says 'head north east' and that isn't ideal in the CBD etc.
Presumably there is a proper arrow thing to follow etc.
