We strolled over to Sony Ericsson’s booth and took a look at the Media Speaker introduced a while ago. There isn’t much to it: you open the “hatch”, you plug your phone into the exposed 3.5mm headphone jack and it essentially becomes a dock with speakers. I thought the unit’s size was justified considering how much weight it’d have to support for larger phones.
I was also surprised that the device is rechargeable – this seems like something you’d need to buy triple A batteries for. Unfortunately, it was loud in Sony Ericsson’s booth so I couldn’t really get an idea of just how loud it is on video, but I can tell you I couldn’t clearly hear whatever was playing. (And to be fair, I didn’t check the volume.) Check it out in the video above.
PS: No, you’re not the only ones who think this thing belongs at the end of a gun.
The HTC Flyer also belongs at the end of a gun.
Jr. wins on the first!
Seriously, though, I don’t understand dock/portable speakers. I’ve never heard any that sound any good, and how could they without larger/more powerful drivers? If you’re travelling, use your cocking headphones. You won’t get a party started with a tinny little dock.
@Simon as an ipod dock dj I resent that statement i love get to get the paty started with devices i fit in my pocket.
This is possibly the most akward video i have seen in months……maybe ever. What about phones with the jack on the side? What about them? SE person randomly tapping the media player and it changes nothing…and neither one of you knew what it was called……Thank god for labels
