This title is quite misleading and should be changed. I remember reading a while back that this is made by Joby who also makes the Gorillapod (a great mini travel tripod). If the quality of the Gorillapod is any indication, this will be a great product.
It's been so long since the announcement of this that I was about to buy the new Jawbone. I think I'll give this a shot first since I really like the premise of the boom, with background noise being one of my biggest gripes about most BT headsets.
I agree. Engadget editors seem to have pithy comments and snarky titles as their primary motivation when writing posts, but their writing is pretty irresponsible sometimes. Did they play with the unit, have a chance to review it? Then is there really a need to condemn it to FUD in the blogosphere with no basis at all? Engadget is no longer a niche blog. They have millions of readers and need to grow up a little.

Quality of previous product(s) is not an automatic guarantee of quality of future (particularly non-related) products.
For example;
Harley Davidson. Great bikes, shite aftershave!
