Sony Ericsson's HCB-150 car handsfree tells you who's calling
Since looking around your car to read a small display while you're driving seems like a somewhat poor plan, Sony Ericsson has introduced the HCB-150 that clips to a visor and reads out the caller's name with a (hopefully non-creepy) text-to-speech engine in addition to a more traditional OLED readout if you simply must take your eyes off the road. It supports up to five pairings, uses Bluetooth 2.0, is battery powered for double duty as a portable speakerphone, and should be available next quarter.

Nokia already has the name read-out built into the phones. I don't see what's so special about this.

The Nokia thing only works on S60 phones, this'll work with anything with Bluetooth.
