Philips's BTM-630 Bluetooth Entertainment System finally lives
We already saw this one slip by the FCC in July, but the BTM-630 from Philips has at last arrived in an official capacity. The Bluetooth Entertainment System sports an iPod dock, and can also stream music from your phone or PC over Bluetooth. If that's not enough for you, there's a CD slot, USB plug, SD card slot and even regular ol' radio. The system can record MP3s at a 2X speed, PC-free, and offers 30W of sound. Philips says the BTM-630 should be available now for $200.
Philips unveils iPod-friendly Bluetooth speaker stations
Continuing its strange obsession with unveiling products by the flocks, Philips has yet again given us numerous things to juggle at once. This time around it's a trio of iPod-friendly music / AV stations, two of which also include Bluetooth support. The $199 three-piece BTM-628 iPod speaker station conveniently docks and plays your jams from either the DAP or your BT-enabled cellphone, plays back MP3 discs and CDs, shows caller ID and enables handsfree conversations, and also includes a USB port and SD / MMC slot for playing back tunes from a flash card; the BTM-630 steps it up by adding a CD writer that can create MP3 discs from music stored on flash media. The $399 DCD-778 undercabinet system touts an AM / FM tuner, DVD player, ATSC TV tuner, 8.5-inch LCD, flip-down iPod dock, and the ability to play back videos stored on your Apple. Look for these goodies as well as an iPod clock radio to land sometime this fall.[Via T3]
