6. Jupiter Jack

This device boasts the ability to give drivers another hands-free solution to their “talk-while-you-drive” cell phone needs. The Jupiter Jack plugs into your cell to transmit a call through your car’s FM radio waves. In those states where it is still legal to talk on the cell while you cruise along, it provides a tempting alternative to the speakerphone function or a Bluetooth device. But did it pass our test?

What You Get:

The Jupiter Jack, which sell online at select retail stores for around $19.99, comes simply packaged with everything you need to plug-in and go. The unit comes equipped with a CR2032 battery (installed), six adapters, an instruction manual, and a quick-start guide. There was also literature for a dashboard mount (not included) and replacement battery orders.

Getting Started/Operation:

This unit is as simple as it gets. Simply open the package, find the adapter that fits the headphone jack of your cell phone (some phones may be plugged directly into the Jupiter Jack), and power on the unit. Once your car radio is on, it can be tuned to 99.3 FM (make sure the sliding button on the Jupiter Jack is also set to 99.3.) You are now ready to make calls.

In the rare case that 99.3 doesn’t pick up a clear signal for your phone, there is also the option of tuning to 101.3 and sliding the tune button accordingly. Make calls as usual, without the need to use the speakerphone function on your cell. The call can be heard through the radio speakers and the caller can hear you through the Jupiter Jack’s microphone. Once the call is over, just end it as you normally would without having to unplug your cell from the Jupiter Jack.

I had never heard of the magic bullet before this, curiously looked it up on google and came across this site:

My girlfriend swears by our magic bullet but I dislike it in favor of a traditional blender. The blender looks more fashionable as well.

Anyone else notice the huge size of the headset on the girl on the first page?

Maybe it's for pwning noobs in Counter Strike when the boss isn't looking.

Seems to me I did some research into those electro-stimulation belts; they are just a gimmick and don't work. Yes, you feel the shocks, but it just isn't enough or the right type (not deep enough?) to make a difference.

The belts are pretty much crap, Ive tried a couple of them.....

The stuff that really works is probably too expensive for your average person. I had one used on me during Physical Therapy for my back, Turn it up enough and it looked like i was humping the table from the strong muscle contractions. It was great on slightly lower settings.

Hmmm, an auto-humper belt, "when the little blue pill isn't enough (tm)"

No matter how politically correct you are, that still sounds funny!. Great article I guess.

My mother was silly enough to buy a Magic Bullet (actually a couple)... guess what, they all broke or burned out quite fast, and had a dissapointing amount of power.
what did I do? Go to the local Zellers and pickup some badass blender for $60... this thing is a beast, and it doesn't mind turning the hardest things I can throw at it into mush.

MagicBullet: Waste. Buy a real blender.

SlenderTone Flex Go!: Walk to McDonalds instead of taking your car, fatass. They're called fruits, a healthy variation to junkfood.
I enjoy my high fat diet by being physically active... wow, what a surprise.
