iLounge, the unofficial authority on everything starting with a little "i" and produced by Apple, has declared the Bluetrek SurfaceSound Compact as the best hands-free car accessory for the iPhone. While facing it off with many of the conventional solutions out there, iLounge concluded that, "Using SurfaceSound Compact makes the calling part of using an iPhone substantially better in your vehicle."

Developed by ModeLabs Group, the SurfaceSound Compact fits snugly to your car visor and combines a Bluetooth -enabled microphone and NXT flat speaker to connect to your iPhone and deliver greater call quality, enough for you and your passengers in the car to talk and listen. With 15 hours of talktime and 21 days of standby, this useful device can also be charged using the car charger and cable included.

The SurfaceSound Compact is available at a price of $100 across the country.
