Yes, I agree.

I was told via chat that it addresses the dropped calls issue and that voice quality was improved among other things.

- Their having mentioned the dropped calls issue is interesting, this is the first I've heard that this version of the MJ+ addresses any such issue. If it does actually do that ...

Keep in mind that you must use the link in the email to get that $30 price. If you sign in to your account and order that way it's over $50 with tax or fees or some such.

Just got an email from Dan offering to off load his latest offering for 29.99 for the next 48 hours.

If the MJ+es work well when plugged directly into ...

When using MJ with a computer and you make or receive a call the software pops up. But if you're using a phone to make or receive calls this is not needed or preferred.

There should be an option to disable such disruptive / annoying behavior. I think Windows users have a freeware program that will ...

I bought two MJ+'s, one for personal use and one for business. I have to Macs, one for personal use and one for business.
