Sony Ericsson's MBR-100 in the flesh
So this is basically like any other A2DP receiver dongle, but specifically designed to not be wearable. Not a bad idea, really; since it doesn't have to be chic looking or tiny, Sony Ericsson could take the liberty to make it a little bulkier (though still totally pocketable) and beef up the internal battery. The whole package is pretty simple, with 3.5mm and RCA cables for connection to virtually any A/V setup. As always, the glossy surface makes it a total fingerprint magnet, but who cares?
Sony Ericsson's MBR-100 delivers wireless music anywhere
A2DP-compliant headsets are all well and good, but playing music on a phone over speakers is still typically a wired affair. Sony Ericsson's MBR-100 looks to change that, offering up a 0.67 ounce glossy black pod with a 3.5 millimeter jack and an RCA converter cable to get the jams to the destination of your choice. The unit itself is rechargeable, so it should be a pretty simple matter to pack 'er up and take it with you whenever your destination might include a sound system you can plug into. Availability is quoted as "early Q1," which we take to mean that folks should be able to stroll into stores any day now and pick one up for an as-yet-undisclosed price.
