Live from CeBIT: Hands on on with Parrot's Bluetooth Sound System
Parrot just announced their new Blueooth Sound System which expands their once car-centric line-up of Bluetooth products to now include the living room. Each of these 2 x 60 watt Bluetooth 2.0 speakers feature EDR (for up to 3Mbps of throughput) and support for both the A2DP and AVRCP profiles. That means you can stream 16-bit audio from say, your new Samsung-i310 musicphone, straight to these speakers... when you're within 10 meters that is. The speakers also sport an RCA connector around back just in case you want to pump audio from, let's say, more traditional sources. Parrot admits that this is an unproven market but that's not going to stop 'em from rolling these out Q3 for about $425 a set. We think they might be just a little nuts, but hey, that's why we likes 'em. Hell, after a $300 boombox, anything is possible right? More pics after the break including a shot of their new Bluetooth picture frames also announced today.

Nekkid. Note controls up front for volume and LED indicating bluetooth status.
Backside, front.
Of lessor interest but also announced today are the new Parrot Bluetooth picture frames. Same idea, send pics from your mobile device directly to the frames.
In your choice of wood, leather, or animal prints. Grrrr.
