Yamaha Bluetooth speaker cube for Toshiba's W41T

One of the new au W41 handsets introduced yesterday, Toshiba's W41T, is becoming even more accessorized. Yamaha announced a new speaker cube called the "NX-A01" which was developed with the W41T in mind -- not only does it support Bluetooth with its matching receiver, it handles the MPEG-4 AAC HE codec used in au's new "au LISTEN MOBILE SERVICE (LISMO)." Long story short, you can wirelessly download CD-quality tracks using the new service (onto your phone's 4GB hard drive), and you can play them on your speaker cube without messing around with cables. Of course the NX-A01 isn't free; the speaker itself costs 13,000 yen, and the Bluetooth module 14,000 yen, bringing your total to about $234 USD. If you're looking for something cheaper, Kaga Electronics is slated to release Bluetooth headphones with MPEG-4 AAC HE support for about 10,000 yen (~$86 USD).
