We hear it all of the time. Exercise is good for the body. Whether you head to the gym on a regular basis or you head through your neighbourhood for a quick run everyday, your iPhone is probably your best friend. Unfortunately, between the sweat and the motion itself, it would be rather tough just to shove your iPhone in your pocket for the duration.

iPhone armbands to the rescue! The Griffin Streamline iPhone and iPod touch armband is one of the best on the market today. The ideal marriage of materials like hard plastic, velcro, elastic, and neoprene, you get a sweat and impact resistant case that works as hard as you do.

At just £10.70, it promises to be one of the cheapest iPhone accessories you can add to your line up.

Bose is the end-all, be-all when it comes to devices that are designed to enhance your audio experience. Their latest offering for your iPhone is called, simply, the Bose iPhone Headset. Catchy, isn’t it?

While the name won’t win anybody over, the headset itself will. The actual headset speakers are simply top of the line, providing crystal clear audio quality, whether you’re talking to your friend, listening to music or watching a video stored on your iPhone. The headset is also outfitted with a omnidirectional inline microphone, which provides surprisingly high audio quality when used. Your friends won’t be asking you to repeat yourself when you use the microphone on the Bose iPhone Headset.

But the best part? It plugs directly into your iPhone, meaning you’re not going to have to go through the trouble of trying to pair up your headset and your phone — a task that can be maddening if you come across any complications.

Simply put, if you hate bluetooth headsets but still want a hands-free alternative, the Bose iPhone Headset is simply the best. £99 may sound high, but it’s worth every single pound.

We feature quite a few wireless speakerphones for your iPhone, but this one is simply the best. The Blueant Supertooth Light Bluetooth Speakerphone is, hands down, one of the best bluetooth speakerphones on the market. It’s so good that I, myself use it. It has a very sleek, minimalist design that doesn’t confuse you with too many options, the Blueant Supertooth doesn’t try to do too much. At it’s core, it is a speakerphone; and a good one, at that.

So what makes this speakerphone different from the competition? Well, for starters the speakerphone comes with a built-in, pull-out microphone. This may not sound like a big thing, but when you consider that a lot of speakerphones garble your voice to the point where the other person can’t hear a word you’ve said, having the microphone slide out away from the speaker and closer to your mouth is a big improvement. Another feature that’s really handy, especially for couples who share one car, is the ability to pair up to five different phones. So, if you have the iPhone and your partner has a Blackberry or LG, you both can use the speakerphone with little trouble.

As far as speakerphones go, the Blueant Supertooth Light Bluetooth Speakerphone is simply the best on the market. It may be priced a little higher than some of the competitors at just over £50, but the extra money is well worth it.

Okay, so you’re probably never going to compete in the Tour de France, but you still love to ride your bicycle. Or, maybe you’re not much of a bike rider, but prefer to strap on your skis come winter. You don’t want to have to stop when your phone rings, and we all know that these activities are far too dangerous to be talking on the cell phone while you’re riding around. So, what is a person to do?

Simple: Get your hands on this Bluetooth Sports Helmet.

The Bluetooth Sports Helmet comes in three sizes (small, medium and large) and allows you to play your favorite music off your iPhone, iPod or any other bluetooth-enabled music player while you’re cycling, skiing the slopes, or engaging in any other activity that requires a helmet, thus instantly giving your sporting activities their own soundtrack.

It’s not perfect, however. Lots of companies are working on these, and most do not allow you to work your iPhone’s actual phone functions while you’re wearing the helmet. However, the manufacturers have promised that they will be producing versions that will allow you to use voice commands to make phone calls in the near future.

With the cost of petrol increasing and the price of insurance skyrocketing, not too many people can afford to wreck their car. One of the easiest ways for you to make sure that you don’t wind up in any fender benders (or worse) is to keep both hands on the wheel and not play around with that shiny new 3G iPhone of yours. In fact, in many places you can be given a citation for driving while talking on your cell phone. This may explain why you see so many people seemingly talking to themselves as you wait at that red light, nowadays.

No, they’re not crazy (well, a couple might be), they’re probably early adopters of kits like the Parrot CK3100. What is the CK3100? Well, it’s a device that allows you to make and receive calls without ever so much as looking at your cell phone. The large display screen shows you who is calling, and allows you to flip through your phone book with the center knob. If you want to make a call, scroll through your contact list with the center knob, press the ‘Dial’ button and you’re set. When you take a call, your radio is immediately muted and the person’s voice comes through with digital quality through your stereo speakers.

The best feature with the Parrot CK3100 is the ability to pair up multiple bluetooth devices with it. So, if you own an iPhone and your spouse owns a Blackberry Pearl, the reader will be able to detect both devices and will allow easy use of either phone.

It’s not cheap, though. The kit alone costs about £85, and that doesn’t include installation costs. But, when you consider the alternatives to smashing your car because you were on the phone, the costs are very marginal.
