Mobile speakers

A bluetooth speaker from Sony Ericsson's press launch at Scala in London's Kings Cross earlier this month. The speaker can play music stored on a Sony Ericsson phone without wires having to be attached.

It can't be that far away, though. Bluetooth devices linked to mobile phones usually need to be within a range of 10 metres. The Portable Bluetooth Speaker MBS-100 can play for five hours on a rechargeable battery and is available this quarter (Q4 2007).
