Yamaha is launching this little bad boy on the market – with 10 watts of power behind it! It can connect with Bluetooth, or via 3.5mm jack (for mp3 players and the like). Apparently the Amp and Bass unit are “pretty good” (my terminology, not theirs!), and you can juice up your aural pleasure-o-meter via batteries or good old AC adaptor. Now here’s the kicker – it’s £179.95 RRP….
…. does anybody think that’s a touch steep? I mean, I have been thinking about wireless speakers for the living room, due to my wife’s “no visible wires policy” to any technology I might buy -but I have been looking around for wireless stereo speakers (i.e. 2 little portable chappies), and the RF transmission-fed units are coming out around £60-100. Granted, the audio fidelity might not quite be there, but then I’d still be 2-3x cheaper than this unit…. with the spare cash in my pocket!
Come on people, lend me your thoughts – audio-winner or cheeky-expensive? Votes please!

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
