This looks real promising to me. My main issue though is with the blackberry mediaplayer. Obviously, my 8800 doesn’t support stereo bluetooth so I am out of this game, but does the new media player play a whole album without having to click next track after each song?

This is cooler than Moto’s or something made by Belkin because it isn’t crap and it has some amount of quality to it and it’s something you’d want to actually use instead of buy and have it sit in your closet.

Why limit it to playing music that’s on your BlackBerry? Odds are that the original MP3’s are on the stereo (via PC or other). Let this BT device use the BlackBerry as a stereo system remote. It’s already in your hand.

Yes, Motorola did come out with a similar product a year and a half ago. But this BB version contains an internal battery and is one third the size of the DC800. Personally I prefer portable bluetooth speakers like the soon to debut Motorola EQ5.

MOTOROLA ALREADY MAKES THIS! THE MOTOROLA DC800!

Motorola did it over a year ago. You are all blown away because BlackBerry makes this now, but its already been done by another huge manufacturer a long time ago. Now all the sudden you see BlackBerry makes it and its god’s gift to A2DP.

This was unveiled at CES weeks ago. Just pull the blog post. It shouldn’t even be published.

buju, its lame because they are doing it. No doubt if you wanted this function then let someone like Belkin do it, don’t use your own engineers to come up with this trinket.
I also cannot see a huge demand for this.

Yeah there are a couple cool features about it. First of all it uses the same USB charger as the BlackBerry. It also comes with 2 cables. 1 to connect to an AUX in headphone jack and another to connect to a RCA connection on the back of a stereo.

lame?

it’s pretty cool considering:

#1 they’re trying to get more consumer market

#2 think about it, you can bring a music collection with you anywhere you go as long as you have music on your microSD card and the bluetooth connector with you.

They should call it ‘Jam’. Blackberry Jam, tasty.

Hopefully this will be universally adaptable to other phones at launch, or someone will find a way
