Default Anyone seen, demoed or own a Parrot RHYTHM N' BLUE?

To be perfectly honest, the first I knew about it was your post. When
I first saw it, I thought it was a hard disk unit, which would have
been pretty interesting. Looking into it though, it doesn't really
seem to offer much (other than price, but you'd expect that given that
it's an area where they have no track record) over the Pioneer
DEH-P70BT. It's also worth bearing in mind that new mainstream ranges
will start appearing early in the new year. I'd be very surprised if
we didn't see a lot more Bluetooth units appearing then.

Yep, me too.
In fact, after finding the Parrot unit online, but not finding any in
stock anywhere because it was so new, and them stating it was "the
worlds first" somewhere, I was surprised to find the Maplin were selling
pretty much the same thing, but by Nikkai, and without the convenient
Key pad on front, for £79.99 as a clearance line. MP3/CDR/RW/AM/FM and
Bluetooth hands free.

Some headsets cost more than that.

I will be glad when Bluetooth handsfree becomes a standard headunit
feature too, it has been pretty standard or a dealer fit integrated
option better cars for a while now. And the Borg look is all very well,
but when your headset gives up just after a year, it can get pricey.
