Nokia has teamed-up with JBL to create a range of audio accessories and the first product of their cooperation is the JBL PlayUp Portable Wireless Speaker for Nokia. These brightly-colored speakers sport cylindrical design and are made of specially created double-shot plastic to add “extra durability to the design.”
Expect crystal clear sound in every direction with a maximum output of 89dB and frequency response rated at 85Hz – 22kHz (-6dB), which is great both for the garden and your living room.
As expected, these speakers connect to Lumia (or some other) smartphone via Bluetooth and pairing is conducted by simply tapping phone to the speaker (via NFC) or, if you want to use them with some other device, using a standard 3.5mm jack. There’s a cable supplied in the box for this, together with a carrying pouch and a MicroUSB charger.
Size wise, the PlayUp measures 118x118x128 mm and has a weight of 760g. The rechargeable battery inside will last for 10 hours in normal use, and, of course, you can run it off AC power using the charger indoors. The JBL PlayUp Portable Wireless Speaker for Nokia will come in cyan, yellow, white and black; and will start selling before the end of the year for 149 EUR.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
