I don't think a iPhone is perhaps the best option - although worth a
look (the Voice control is pretty good and can control iTunes too) - I
just wanted to chip in and state you can stop the phone falling asleep
(set auto-lock to never and auto-brightness off) (or if you're writing
an app see: http://bit.ly/y85qk). You will probably need it docked
though to stop the battery dying in like 30 minutes..
Take a look at the blueant-v1 bluetooth headset which, from the
reviews, is pretty much totally handsfree.. e.g. Need to pair it?
Just say "Pair me." http://www.myblueant.com/
