Gear4's BlackBox Bluetooth speaker makes our geek-loin ache

See that? That's glossy black sex in stereo. The BlackBox and BlackBox mini Bluetooth speaker systems from Gear4 pump 24W and 4W from 2x speakers, respectively, with a front-facing red LED panel and blue capacitive touch-panel controls up top. Gear4 assures compatibility with your cellphone via its firmware upgrade feature -- link back to your computer via USB to download the "right profile for your mobile." Odd, since the Bluetooth profiles are supposed to be standard, eh Bluetooth SIG? Priced at £100/£50 (about $202/$101) when released in the next few weeks.

You mean £100/£050 instead of £150 right? =D

"Priced at £100/£50 (about $202/$101)" meaning £100 (about $202) for the large one, and £50 (about $101) for the small one....

Looks like somebody finally got that KITT computer out of the Night Rider car!

Hmm . . . strange. I guess I don't have a geek loin.

Oh, Thomas Ricker! -That's just vulgar. Though it'd be no labor to have sitting atop the loins--very nicely designed.

Isn't Bluetooth just becoming code for short battery life?

blackbox was created by man.
it rebelled.
it evolved.
there are many copies.
and they have a plan.

basically what i'm saying is: call me when this thing looks more like tricia helfer.
