I’m interested because it’s a new business model in which the user doesn’t bear the communications cost.

Currently Nintendo DSi users can access the Nintendo store to download a variety of content via WiFi, but that requires that the user be within proximity of a signal and seriously hinders the purchase anytime, anywhere impulse.  Of course, this kind of delivery system would be implemented in the next generation of Nintendo DSes and would add some significant cost to the handheld device, something Nintendo may not be willing to do.

In a land where product names have nothing to do with anything, Yubz reigns supreme.  Put the word Magnum next to Yubz and now you’re onto something.

The Yubz Magnum is a wireless speaker that will connect to any BlueTooth device.  The Magnum is capable of playing music as well as acting as a hands-free loudspeaker for your cell phone.

Resembling a “pleather” meat log of sorts, the Yubz Magnum is a cylindrical device with speakers on both ends.  It feels really nice actually, and is soft and lightweight.

Taking power wirelessly through 4 AA batteries or a USB wall charger, the Magnum will also accept devices through its 1/8″ input.  That means it is ready for a host of scenarios making it accessible to those un-hip to BlueTooth or wireless styles.

Setting my iPhone up to “discover” the Magnum was quick and easy and I was playing tunes wirelessly as soon as I put in the AA batteries.  Even when the iPhone 3G shut off, the music was still playing and the 30 foot range between the two allowed me to put my phone in my pocket and walk around my house.  Very cool.

What is not very cool is the barely legible button markings on the Magnum.  It’s really, really difficult to tell what the buttons read.  Even with my glasses on with a light shining down I could barely distinguish the volume buttons from the…?  Yeah it’s that bad.

In regards to the sound, the Magnum was decent.  It could go pretty loud but was heavily distorted when it got there.  Due to the way the speakers are angled, it presents an interesting stereo field, but not one that’s unlikeable.  I didn’t mind the distortion too much actually, and you can really tell that the Yubz meat log is working its little ass of to bang out some tunes for you.

The loudspeaker feature was more novelty than anything else and while it works fine I probably never really use it just for that.  That basically means that I never use it to make a call but would take a call through it if I was already playing music.

The Magnum comes with a handy carrying case that lets you use it while on the go.  It has a shoulder strap and also what appears to be bike handlebar attachment straps.  Or you can wear it around your forearm.  What I didn’t like about that case was that it was hard to align the input jacks with with the cords because the holes are so small and everything is so black it’s difficult to see what you are doing.

Despite some flaws in design and performance the Yubz Magnum still finds itself in a good place among other similar gadgets.  The loudness and the wireless BlueTooth connectivity should attract consumers far and wide as this is a great item for the beach, campsite, or any other place you need loud music.  The BlueTooth feature should also allow groups with multiple iPhone users to connect back and forth and compliment each other on how tech they are.  Just stock up on some rechargeable AA batteries and you are good to go.

I like this product much better than the eWoo eFizz iPod Dock I reviewed a while back, and the Yubz is a lot cheaper.  Just for the record, my buddy Naiche’ has a Gen 1 iPhone and could not connect to the Yubz Magnum.  I’ll also mention that this does not work wirelessly with the “I Am T-Pain” App unfortunately.

Pros:

• Loud
• Easy to connect (iPhone 3G)
• Competitive price

Cons:

• Distortion
• Illegible buttons
• Carrying case could be easier to use

I’m loving Sonos’ new Sonos ZonePlayer S5.  It’s a tad on the pricey side, but what is lost in affordability is gained in pure simplicity and quality.  The device connects to your Internet and can play 1000s of Internet radio stations, stream the most popular of music services (Pandora, Last.fm, Napster, etc) and pull music directly from your computer’s iTunes library.  It’s also compatible with Apple’s wireless Time Capsule hard drive, which means your computer doesn’t even have to be turned on to access your tunes.

And like Apple’s commercial says, there is ‘an app for that’.  Sonos’ S5 can be controlled via the iPhone or iPod Touch.  In fact, that appears to be the only way to operate this WiFi infuzed, music streaming device (aside from other Sonos hardware or computer software).  So if you don’t have one of those, well, you can just forget about the S5.  The Sonos app let’s you control multiple S5s, allowing you to play different music through each speaker system or sync them all up and adjust volume individually.

Under the hood are 5 speakers: two tweeters, two mid-range drivers and a built-in single subwoofer – each individually powered by a dedicated digital amplifier.

The Sonos ZonePlayer S5 will be available October 27th for $399.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – October 13, 2009 – Sonos®, Inc., developer of wireless multi-room music systems for the home, today introduced the Sonos ZonePlayer S5, an all-in-one wireless music system that can be controlled with an iPhone, iPod® touch or any Sonos Controller.  The S5 delivers crystal-clear, room-filling sound that rivals much larger, more complicated audio equipment.  Plus, the S5 provides instant access to unlimited music with control from the palm of your hand.  Now music lovers can find and play any song from an iTunes library, plus, a world of music and radio on the Internet, in any room of the house. The S5 will be available for $399 on October 27. To see the S5 in action, please visit: www.sonos.com/S5demo.

“Our customers tell us they listen to twice as much music after bringing Sonos into their homes,” said John MacFarlane, CEO of Sonos.  “The new S5 is our latest effort to simplify the Sonos experience so more people can enjoy more music than ever before.”

The S5 features a 5-driver speaker system that packs a big sound – filling an entire room with music.  Sonos uniquely designed the S5 with an all-digital sound architecture for precise sound reproduction.  The S5 includes two tweeters, two mid-range drivers and a built-in single subwoofer – each individually powered by a dedicated digital amplifier and optimized to deliver room-filling sound with smooth tonal balance and deep bass.  All filter settings, bass and treble controls, active equalization, and time-alignment are done in the digital domain through state-of-the-art DSP circuitry, so there’s absolutely no loss of audio quality or energy.

With the Internet-connected S5, you can listen to way more music than you can with a dock that only plays the songs that fit on your iPod. The S5 gives you instant access to a world of music, including 25,000 Internet radio stations, shows and podcasts —all free of charge and pre-loaded on Sonos. Sonos works seamlessly with the most popular music services to provide computer-free access to millions of songs and stations from the likes of Last.fm, Napster, Rhapsody, Pandora, SIRIUS Internet Radio, and Deezer.  The S5 also gives you instant access to any iTunes library stored on any computer or Network Attached storage, such as an Apple Time Capsule.  The S5’s analog audio input lets you connect to an external audio source (such as an iPod, CD player, TV, DVD, VCR, or radio) and play music or audio on all ZonePlayers in the system.

When it comes to controlling your S5, you simply reach into your pocket for your iPhone or iPod touch. With the free Sonos Controller for iPhone app (available on the iTunes App Store), you can search for songs and stations, choose the music and control the volume in as many rooms as you like. And because the iPhone is controlling the music, and not the source of it, when a text comes in or you need to make a phone call, the music doesn’t stop.  That also means you can keep your iPhone in your pocket, not stuck in a dock. The S5 also includes free Sonos Controller software for your Mac or PC. Or you can let everyone in the house share the control with the dedicated Sonos Controller 200 (sold separately).

As with all Sonos ZonePlayers, the S5 is simple to set up, easy to expand and 100% compatible with all other Sonos products. Just plug in the S5 wherever you want music. One ZonePlayer or Sonos ZoneBridge™ (sold separately) must be connected to your router and all the rest will work wirelessly. When you’re ready to play more music in more rooms, simply add S5s or other ZonePlayers without adding wires. Now you can play the same song in every room with perfect synchronicity or mix it up by playing different songs in different rooms.

The S5 will be available for purchase in the United States beginning in late October.  To learn more or to locate an authorized Sonos dealer, please visit www.sonos.com or call 877.80.SONOS.

SONY AND BEST BUY COMBINE FORCES TO DELIVER NEW LINE OF AUDIO PRODUCTS
New “ALTUS” Product Line Brings Wireless, Multi-Room Audio Freedom to the Home

NEW YORK, Aug. 18, 2009 – Representing nearly two years of cooperation in market research and engineering efforts, Sony Electronics Inc. and Best Buy Co., Inc. today announced the new “ALTUS” audio product line.

Featuring a stylish assortment of wireless music systems, speakers, and home theater products, the ALTUS line offers a variety of simple, easy, and effective solutions for experiencing premium audio throughout the home.

“The ALTUS line is something that both Sony and Best Buy can be proud to call their own” said Mike Fasulo, executive vice president, chief marketing officer and corporate social responsibility officer of Sony Electronics Inc. “We’re breaking new ground in the consumer electronics industry with this unique cooperation between manufacturer and retailer.”

Mike Vitelli, executive vice president of customer operating groups at Best Buy Co., Inc., added:  “By working with Sony throughout the product development process, we were able to focus directly on our customer to better understand their needs and interpret how best to present ALTUS in a retail environment.”

Expand your iPod from Room to Room

Heading up the ALTUS product lineup are two iPod™ docking systems designed to enhance and expand your home listening experience.

The premium ALT-SA31iR multi-room iPod package features three separate components: an iPod/iPhone® docking station and two high-output wireless speakers.

This multi-room package also features an AM/FM tuner and S-AIR remote control with an LCD display. On the display, users are able to see all metadata of the streaming audio, including album, artist, and track information.  Further, the ALT-SA31iR system can be used to transmit audio to all other S-AIR compatible receivers.

Sony’s AIR-SW10Ti iPod dock consists of a compact docking station with two built-in speakers and a wireless subwoofer that can be easily concealed. This powerful new model has a maximum output of 60 watts RMS and includes both an infrared remote control and FM tuner capabilities.  The AIR-SW10Ti system can also be used to transmit wireless audio to compatible ALTUS and S-AIR products.  The ALT-SA31iR system will retail for approximately $700 and the AIR-SA10Ti model will retail for about $400. Each unit is available today for pre-sale on www.sonystyle.com and will be available in September at Best Buy locations nationwide, along with other select retailer partners.

Wireless PC Audio

Recognizing the importance that the computer holds to any digital music collection, Sony is also introducing two PC audio multi-room packages as part of the ALTUS brand.

The new ALT-SA32PC multi-room audio package features three components: an S-AIR transmitter that connects to your PC (via USB input) and two high-output wireless speakers.  The USB transmitter streams audio wirelessly from the connected PC to the two included speakers for a simple multi-room solution.

The ALT-A33PC package has an identical USB S-AIR transmitter, but includes a universal receiver that can connect to a variety of audio products with its RCA outputs. This enables users to stream music wirelessly from their computer to most existing music systems.

Both packages include unique music management software that has the ability to tap into existing playlists on your computer in programs like iTunes™ and Windows Media Player™.  Additionally, this software facilitates the creation of new music “channels” using the digital music library of a connected PC.  Each of these two PC systems is compatible with the entire ALTUS family of products as well as all of Sony’s S-AIR accessories.

The ALT-SA32PC package will sell for approximately $500 and the ALT-A33PC for about $200. Each can be pre-ordered today on www.sonystyle.com and will be available September in Best Buy locations nationwide, along with other select retailer partners.

Plug and Play Speakers

For those looking to expand their ALTUS audio system with small, compact and stylish speakers, Sony is introducing the sleek ALT-SA34R Socket Speaker Package.

This ALTUS product is compatible with all S-AIR enabled transmitters and features two small, unobtrusive S-AIR wireless speakers that plug directly into any power outlet in the home. The speaker system also includes an S-AIR remote control highlighted by an LCD display for viewing music metadata.

The ALT-SA34R Socket Speaker Package will retail for about $350 and is available for pre-sale today on www.sonystyle.com.  Next month, the package will hit Best Buy stores nationwide, along with other select retailers, for about $350.

Blu-ray Disc Power

Also included as part of the new ALTUS lineup is Sony’s BDV-E500W 5.1 Channel Blu-ray Disc™ Home Theater System, announced earlier this spring.

The BDV-E500W Blu-ray Disc home theater system features both wireless rear speakers and wireless multi-room audio capability.  With the addition of compatible ALTUS or S-AIR devices (sold separately), audio from the BDV-E500W system can be expanded in up to 10 additional rooms throughout the home.

This Blu-ray Disc system is also BD-Live capable via a rear Ethernet connection. BD-Live allows users to access content including additional scenes, short subjects, trailers, interactive games and more. It also enables easy firmware updates to assist in keeping the player up-to-date with the latest Blu-ray Disc media and features.

The unit also supports the latest advanced audio codecs, including Dolby® TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus, DTS®-HD High Resolution Audio, and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding as well as bit-stream.

Sony’s Digital Media Port, included on the BDV-E500W, allows for easy connection to the included iPod cradle and the ability to connect other portable music players (optional cradles sold separately). The model also features Precision Cinema Upscaling technology for outstanding picture quality, and Sony’s Xross Media Bar (XMB™) graphic user interface for easy menu navigation and operation.

The BDV-E500W is currently available at Sony Style stores, Best Buy and other authorized retailers for approximately $800

If you mansion’s WiFi connection, or lack there of has got you down, fear not, for hField Technologies is here to save your from interrupted YouTube streams.  Announced yesterday, the Wi-Fire, which is in its 3rd iteration, claims to increase your computer’s wireless connection by up to 1,000 feet.  It’s limited to b and g speeds, but since it’s 30% lighter and 40% smaller than the previous versions, and appears to clip conveniently to the top of your laptop and plug in via USB, I’d say they’ve got a winner.  Just keep in mind that it draws some added juice, which means less battery power.

You can grab one now for $59.

A speaker that doesn’t need anything to produce sound?  Well, sort of.  Bose has recently announced the release of their SoundLink speaker system. This new system uses a USB dongle to transmit your computer’s music (or compatible device) wirelessly to the speaker setup.

It has a built-in Lithium ion battery that can play at full volume for a maximum of 3 hours and you can crank up the speaker using the included remote control or just use the buttons on the speaker itself.

But here comes the bad part! On its official release date on August 27, the SoundLink will cost at around $550! Yeah I know, a lot of dreams have been shattered, including mine.  I sure hope that’s not going to be the final price tag because with that kind of sticker shock, I’d rather hang on to my cheaper WiFi speakers.

Nokia dropped a new pair of Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones yesterday, the BH-905.  They claim it’s the ‘first product to feature patented multi-microphone-feed-forward active noise canceling technology’.  In other words, 10 microphones work in concert – 8 to sample and cancel out ambient noise, 2 to capture speech – to produce crystal clear audio listening and telephone calls.  Integrated into the headphone are MP3 player controls, such as skip forward, play, pause and more.  A single charge provides up to 24 hours of talk time and 25 hours of audio playback; subtract 10 hours if both Bluetooth and noise cancellation are engaged.  Also included in the package is a travel charger and adapters for 2.5 and 3.5mm headphone jacks.  The Nokia BH-905 will go on sale this August for about $420.
